Intended Use

LUCIUS 62 is intended for manufacturing: - Inlay / Onlays - - Crowns - - Short span bridges - - Long span bridges - Removable partials -

Device Story

LUCIUS 62 is a dental casting alloy used by dental professionals to manufacture restorative dental prosthetics. The device is a 62% gold-based alloy, provided as a raw material for casting. It is processed by dental technicians in a laboratory setting to create inlays, onlays, crowns, and bridges. The alloy's physical properties, including melting point, hardness, and yield strength, allow it to be cast into precise dental shapes. The final restoration is placed by a dentist to restore tooth structure or replace missing teeth, providing functional and aesthetic benefits to the patient.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. The device was evaluated using standard physical and mechanical property testing methods as defined in ANSI/ADA 5 and ISO 9693, comparing melting point, hardness, yield strength, elongation, and density against the predicate device.

Technological Characteristics

Gold-based dental casting alloy (62% gold). Platinum-free. Physical properties: Melting point 1,652-1,710°F, Vickers hardness 150, yield strength 40,600 psi, elongation 33.1%, density 14.1 g/cm3. Tested per ANSI/ADA 5 and ISO 9693 standards.

Indications for Use

Indicated for the fabrication of dental restorations including inlays, onlays, crowns, short-span bridges, long-span bridges, and removable partials.

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.

LUCIUS 62 is a platinum-free crown and bridge alloy. This device is dependable 62% gold alloy with a high gold appearance. LUCIUS 62 is excellent for inlays, three-quarter crowns, long and short-span bridges. LUCIUS 62 is substantially equivalent to JELENKO'S Jel-62, and the minor differences between them do not affect safety or effectiveness.
