Intended Use

CERANUM 87 is intended for manufacturing: -Inlay / Onlays -Crowns -Bridges - -Implant superstructures

Device Story

CERANUM 87 is a high noble, micro-fine, yellow, gold-based dental casting alloy. It serves as a substrate for medium expansion with lower fusing porcelains and indirect restorative composites. Used by dental professionals in a laboratory or clinical setting to manufacture inlays, onlays, crowns, bridges, and implant superstructures. The alloy provides structural strength, durability, and the aesthetic color of gold for dental restorations. It is processed via standard dental casting techniques.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Physical and mechanical properties (melting point, hardness, yield strength, elongation, CTE, density) were compared to the predicate device. No clinical data provided.

Technological Characteristics

High noble, gold-based dental casting alloy. Composition: Au 86.95%, Pt 8.87%, Pd 1.15%, In 1.0%. Physical properties: Melting range 2,008-2,079°F, Vickers hardness 150, yield strength 53,600 psi, elongation 9.0%, CTE 13.4 x 10^-6/°C, density 18.6 g/cm3. Tested per ANSI/ADA 5 and ISO 9693.

Indications for Use

Indicated for the fabrication of dental restorations including inlays, onlays, single crowns, bridges, and implant superstructures.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A noble metal alloy is a device composed primarily of noble metals, such as gold, palladium, platinum, or silver, that is intended for use in the fabrication of cast or porcelain-fused-to-metal crown and bridge restorations.

Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special control for these devices is FDA's “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Dental Noble Metal Alloys.” The devices are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 872.9.

CERANUM 87 is a High Noble, Micro-fine, Yellow, Gold based alloy to be used for inlays, onlays, single crowns, bridge, implant superstructures and substrate for medium expansion with lower fusing porcelains and indirect restorative composites. CERANUM 87 is a high gold ceramic alloy, which heightens the porcelain esthetics of the restoration and provides strength, durability and color of gold. Despite minor differences in the materials, we believe that CERAUM 87 is a substantially equivalent to DEGUSSA AG's DEGUDENT GS. These changes do not affect safety or effectiveness.
