Regulatory leadership

The reviewers who certified the files now build them.

Dr Mark DaCosta is a former TÜV SÜD Notified Body assessor who has certified more than 400 devices in Europe. As COO and CMO he sets the standard the whole team works to: clinical evidence designed exactly the way reviewers expect to read it. The dental device practice itself is led by a former Notified Body dental assessor with 11 years inside Notified Bodies and native Japanese delivery, so dental technical files, clinical evaluation reports and long-term PMCF architectures translate into approvals from the very first version.

Dental device practice

Turning oral-environment materials into regulatory evidence.

From Class I instruments and restorative materials to Class IIb dental implants, abutments and alloys, our regulatory strategy is tailored to the specific risk class of your dental portfolio. Biological evaluation is adapted to the oral environment, and the clinical evaluation is built to the higher equivalence bar that Notified Bodies now apply to dental devices under EU MDR.

A client's live testimonial on Eclevar's capability to run complex trials.

Eclevar manages RegenLab's PMCF programme on chronic wound devices. This is a randomized study of 160 patients across 14 sites in 5 EU countries, covering both diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) and venous leg ulcer (VLU) indications. The partnership combines Eclevar's ISO 14155 clinical expertise with the Milo Studio platform to deliver post-market clinical follow-up evidence that supports both Notified Body scrutiny and reimbursement endpoints, from protocol design through to final study report.

« Eclevar, with its tailor-made approach and advanced Milo Studio platform, represents a major strategic asset. »

FAQ

Questions dental manufacturers ask us.

How do I choose a specialist dental device CRO in Europe?

Look for dental specific Notified Body experience, command of MEDDEV 2.7/1 Rev 4 and the MDCG guidance, biological evaluation expertise for materials in the oral environment, a credible PMCF approach for dental practices, and the ability to hold a periodic CER schedule. Eclevar combines all of these, with a former Notified Body dental assessor with 11 years inside Notified Bodies in the team.

Which dental device classes does Eclevar cover?

From Class I non active instruments through Class IIa restorative materials, Class IIb dental implants, abutments and alloys, to Class III materials incorporating medicinal substances. We do not take dental mandates for active devices, imaging systems or software as a medical device, and will direct you to partners for those needs.

Can Eclevar author periodic CERs and CE marking files for dental implants?

Yes. Eclevar delivers periodic CER authoring for dental devices under MEDDEV 2.7/1 Rev 4 and MDCG 2020-13, with structured literature searches, evidence appraisal, equivalence assessment and Notified Body calibrated reporting for CE marking of dental implants and restorative materials.

What does biological evaluation look like for dental devices?

Biological evaluation under the ISO 10993 series, led by a Doctor of Dental Surgery and specifically adapted to materials in the oral environment, so safety is demonstrated for the contact duration and tissue types dental reviewers expect.

Which countries does Eclevar cover for dental device programmes?

Eclevar operates from Paris, London, Dublin and Tokyo, and delivers dental device evidence across France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Ireland and the wider EU. Through clients and partners, our evidence supports devices marketed in 160 countries, with native Japanese delivery for Japanese manufacturers.

How does Eclevar resolve Notified Body deficiencies on dental technical files?

Our team has assessed dental technical documentation from inside Notified Bodies, so we read a deficiency letter the way its author intended. We perform a gap analysis against EU MDR Annex II and III, rebuild the clinical evaluation and respond in the language and rigour reviewers expect.
