Device Description

REFERENCE® is classified as a tooth shade resin material (21 C.F.R. § 872.3690) because it is a device composed of methacrylates intended to restore carious lesions or structural defects in teeth. REFERENCE® is a further development based on the experience with PERTAC® II. The material characteristics were improved to obtain better handling and wearing properties. Furthermore, REFERENCE® is able to release fluoride ions.

AI/ML Overview

This request cannot be fulfilled. The document provided for analysis is a 510(k) summary, which concerns devices already on the market and does not contain information about studies proving performance criteria for a novel AI/ML device. The document is for a dental restorative material, not an AI/ML device. Therefore, it is impossible to extract the requested information like expert qualifications, adjudication methods, or MRMC studies, as these concepts are not applicable to the provided content.

Description for the Premarket Notification

REFERENCE® is classified as a tooth shade resin material (21 C.F.R. § 872.3690) because it is a device composed of methacrylates intended to restore carious lesions or structural defects in teeth.

REFERENCE® is similar in intended use and substantially equivalent to ESPE's previously 510(k) cleared composite filling material PERTAC® II.

REFERENCE® is a further development based on the experience with PERTAC® II. The material characteristics were improved to obtain better handling and wearing properties. Furthermore, REFERENCE® is able to release fluoride ions. ESPE's glass ionomer filling material KETAC®-MOLAR is provided as a predicate fluoride releasing device, therefore.

All ingredients of REFERENCE® were used in PERTAC® II, except two chemical compounds which are, however, contained in ESPE's 510(k) cleared compomer bonding material PROMPT® L-POP® and in ESPE's 510(k) cleared compomer restorative material HYTA0 . In addition, biocompatibility tests were carried out to ensure the safety of REFERENCE®. The results show that REFERENCE® is a safe device with no harmful potential.

In particular, REFERENCE® has the following similarities to its predecessor PERTAC® II:

REFERENCE® has in general the same intended use .
. REFERENCE® is used by the same operating principles
. REFERENCE® incorporates the same basic chemical design
REFERENCE® has the same shelf life .
. REFERENCE® is manufactured using the same materials and processes

In summary, ESPE's new composite restorative material REFERENCE® described in this submission is, in our opinion, substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

The substantial equivalence to the well established PERTAC® II, the performance data and the results of biocompatibility testing provide evidence that safety and effectiveness requirements of REFERENCE® are completely met.
