Intended Use

ZirDent™ CAD/CAM Blocks are pre-formed ceramic dental blanks intended for CAD/CAM fabrication of zirconia frameworks for all-ceramic dental restorations (porcelain teeth).

Device Description

ZirDent is a pre-formed machineable dental blank composed of zirconia ceramic (yttrium oxide stabilized zirconium oxide [YZTP]]. ZirDent is available in green (meaning "unfired") pre-formed blanks, partially-sintered (partially fired) pre-formed blanks and fully sintered (including hot isostatic press) pre-formed blanks. ZirDent is available in different shapes, shades, and dimensions according to the customers' / dental laboratories' specifications.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the 510(k) summary for the ZirDent™ CAD/CAM Blocks, a dental restorative material. The submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices rather than presenting a performance study with detailed acceptance criteria and testing against specific metrics. Therefore, the information needed to fully answer the request is not present in the provided document.

However, I can extract the available information and highlight what is missing:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
Material Properties:
As safe and effective as predicate devices (General)Confirmed through testing (including ISO 6872)
Specific mechanical properties (e.g., flexural strength, fracture toughness, hardness, wear resistance)Not specified in the provided text. The document only states "Testing (including ISO 6872) confirms ZirDent is as safe and effective as the predicate devices," implying these properties were evaluated but without providing specific numerical criteria or results.
BiocompatibilityNot specified in the provided text. While implied by "safe," no specific biocompatibility testing or criteria are mentioned.
Dimensional accuracy/fit after machining and sinteringNot specified in the provided text. Implied by CAD/CAM fabrication, but no criteria or performance data are given.
Aesthetics (shade match, translucency)Not specified in the provided text. Implied by "shades" available, but no performance data.
Long-term durability/clinical performanceNot specified in the provided text.

Study Information (Based on available text):

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g., country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

  • The document does not specify the sample size used for any testing.
  • The document does not specify the data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective or prospective nature of the data).

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g., radiologist with 10 years of experience)

  • This type of information is not applicable to this submission. The submission is for a material, not a diagnostic or AI device that requires expert ground truth for interpretation. The "ground truth" for a material would typically be established by standardized material testing methods and physical property measurements.

4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

  • This is not applicable as the study is not an interpretative study requiring human adjudication of results.

5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

  • No MRMC comparative effectiveness study was done. This is a submission for a dental material, not an AI or diagnostic device.

6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

  • This is not applicable as this is not an AI or algorithm-based device.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

  • For a material, the "ground truth" for performance would be established by standardized material testing methods (e.g., ISO 6872 for dental ceramics) to measure physical and mechanical properties. The text states "Testing (including ISO 6872) confirms ZirDent is as safe and effective as the predicate devices," indicating that these standardized tests were the basis for evaluating "ground truth" regarding material properties.

8. The sample size for the training set

  • This is not applicable as there is no mention of a "training set." This device is a ceramic material, not an AI or machine learning algorithm that requires training data.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

  • This is not applicable as there is no training set for this type of device.

Summary of what the document does provide regarding the study:

  • Study Type: The study was a substantial equivalence testing against predicate devices, specifically involving "Testing (including ISO 6872)." ISO 6872 is a standard for dental ceramics, indicating that physical and mechanical properties were evaluated.
  • Conclusion: The testing led to the conclusion that "ZirDent is as safe and effective as the predicate devices noted in this submission."
  • Predicate Devices: Katana Zirconia (K050160), ZirBlank PS & FS (K070045), Zerion (K061804), Xavex-G100 (K050903).

To fully answer the request, more detailed technical documentation of the testing performed for the 510(k) submission would be needed, including specific test methods, sample sizes for those tests, and the numerical results compared against acceptance criteria defined by the ISO 6872 standard or other relevant material standards.

Section 2: 510(k) Summary (continued)

Description of device: ZirDent is a pre-formed machineable dental blank composed of zirconia ceramic (yttrium oxide stabilized zirconium oxide [YZTP]]. ZirDent is available in green (meaning "unfired") pre-formed blanks, partially-sintered (partially fired) pre-formed blanks and fully sintered (including hot isostatic press) pre-formed blanks. ZirDent is available in different shapes, shades, and dimensions according to the customers' / dental laboratories' specifications.

Indications for use:

ZirDent is a pre-formed ceramic dental blank intended for CAD/CAM fabrication of zirconia frameworks for all-ceramic dental restorations.

ZirDent is designed for manufacturing ceramic dental restorations such as single crowns or bridgeworks. The ceramic dental blank is machined by the customers/dental laboratories on their milling centers or similar equipment using CAD/CAM techniques for design and processing to the patient-specific anterior/posterior tooth/bridge specification provided by the dental practitioner. For the green and partially-sintered pre-formed blanks, the customer/dental laboratory completes the sintering process after machining the patient-specific crown/bridge.

Summary of technological characteristics: water insoluble, pre-formed YTZP ceramic dental blank designed to be machined into a crown or bridge per the dental practitioners' specifications. These technological characteristics are identical to the predicate devices noted in this submission.

Substantial equivalence: Testing (including ISO 6872) confirms ZirDent is as safe and effective as the predicate devices noted in this submission.

Conclusion: ZirDent is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices indicated in this submission.

Dear Mr. Lehtonen:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
