Introduction: A consumer of any product or products expect safety and quality. The Public Agency for the Republic of Slovenia for Medical Devices (JAZMP) is responsible for carrying out activities in the field of medical devices in Slovenia. European legislation had to be adapted and updated due to scientific progress. The new Medical Devices Regulation 2017/745 represents a transparent and sustainable regulatory framework that replaced the Medical Devices Directive 93/42/EEC. The Regulation is one of the legal acts that are directly and uniformly applied in all EU countries immediately after their entry into force. The upgrade of the Regulation is mainly reflected in the focus on clinical data, transparency, identification and traceability of individual devices.Introduction. Purpose: The purpose of the diploma thesis is to produce a metal-porcelain bridge using modern CAD/CAM technologies and to present the compliance of the prosthetic substitute with the regulations relating to the field of medical device manufacturing. Methods: The diploma thesis is based on a review of domestic and foreign professional literature, which was searched in libraries, online portals and online databases. Practical work was carried out in a dental laboratory. We have prepared procedures for the procurement and acceptance of material, procedures for the manufacture of a medical device, a procedure for distribution, a procedure for vigilance and a PMCF plan. Results: We made a custom-made medical device, a metal-porcelain bridge on teeth 45 to 46, with digital design and a milled framework. In the production itself, we paid attention mainly to the traceability of the procedures and materials used, as well as the quality of the production itself. Discussion and conclusion: Over the years, dentistry has developed into a very complex field, health is extremely important for EU citizens and medical devices play a very important role in this because they have a significant impact on health and quality of life. All manufacturers of medical devices are obliged to comply and implement the Regulation on Medical Devices.
