K221301 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the DESS Dental Smart Solutions. 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 Terrats Medical SL (Barberá Del Vallés, ES). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on March 9, 2023 after a review of 308 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: Standard predicate-based submission. Elevated predicate reliance profile. This clearance follows a standard predicate-based equivalence path within the Dental review framework, consistent with the majority of Class II 510(k) submissions.
