Questions
AI-generated answers, 18 Sep 2026
What is the Procera Preparable Abutment System used for in dental procedures?
The Procera Preparable Abutment System is designed as a screw-retained component for endosseous dental implants. It acts as a foundation to which prosthetic restorations—such as artificial teeth—are attached using dental cement, restoring chewing function and stability. It is specifically intended for use in dental implant procedures where a customizable abutment is required.
Is the Procera Preparable Abutment System meant for reuse in multiple patients?
No, the Procera Preparable Abutment System is explicitly supplied for single-use only in dental procedures. This aligns with standard dental implant protocols to ensure patient safety and sterility, as reuse is not authorized or recommended for this system.
How should the Procera Preparable Abutment System be stored according to manufacturer guidelines?
Storage follows standard dental implant protocols, which typically include keeping the system in a clean, dry environment protected from contamination. Since it is intended for single-use, it should be stored in its original packaging until ready for immediate use, adhering to regulatory requirements for dental devices to maintain sterility and integrity.
What regulatory pathway was followed for FDA clearance of the Procera Preparable Abutment System?
The Procera Preparable Abutment System received FDA clearance through a 510(k) submission (K974150), classified under the Dental (DE) advisory committee with a decision of Substantially Equivalent (SESE). The clearance was granted under a Traditional 510(k) review, meaning it was determined to be comparable to a legally marketed predicate device for dental applications.
