Intended Use

AIGIS-SOFT is intended for manufacturing - Inlay / Onlays - - Crowns - - Short span bridges - - Long span bridges " - Removable partials -

Device Story

AIGIS-SOFT is a gold-based dental casting alloy used by dental professionals to fabricate dental restorations. The device is used in a dental laboratory or clinical setting to create inlays, onlays, crowns, and bridges. It serves as a restorative material for patients requiring dental prosthetics. The alloy is processed via standard dental casting techniques to form the final restoration, which is then placed by a dentist to restore tooth structure and function. The device provides a high-gold appearance and mechanical properties suitable for long-term dental applications.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. The device was evaluated using ANSI/ADA 5 and ISO 9693 standards to compare physical and mechanical properties (melting point, hardness, yield strength, elongation, density) against the predicate device.

Technological Characteristics

Gold-based dental casting alloy. Composition: 83% gold. Physical properties: Melting range 1,922-2,002°F, Vickers hardness 60, yield strength 85 MPa, elongation 45%, density 17.2 g/cm3. Tested per ANSI/ADA 5 and ISO 9693 standards.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use in 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.

AIGIS-SOFT is an inlay, onlay, crown and bridge alloy. This device is dependable 83% gold alloy with a high gold appearance. AIGIS-SOFT is excellent for inlays, three-quarter crowns, long and short-span bridges. AIGIS-SOFT is substantially equivalent to ARGENCO 83 and the minor differences between them do not affect safety or effectiveness. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image is a black and white logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
