K061277 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the STRAUMANN COMPUTER AIDED RESTORATION SERVICE (C.A.R.E.S.) CERAMIC COPING. Classified as Abutment, Implant, Dental, Endosseous within the NHA classification (a category for dental implant abutments and prosthetic components), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Straumann USA (Andover, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on April 12, 2007 after a review of 339 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Dental FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 872.3630 - the FDA dental device regulatory framework. The Traditional 510(k) pathway establishes clearance through substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, without requiring clinical trial data.

Device pattern: Incremental AI imaging tool. Moderate-to-high equivalence dependency. Overall, this clearance reflects a predicate-aligned approval typical of modern AI radiology extensions - not a novel clinical breakthrough, but a validated iteration within an established regulatory category.
