Intended Use
The CEREC® inLab and CEREC® Scan Dental Restoration Milling Machines are intended to be used in the computer-aided design and milling of ceramic dental restorations, including inlays, onlays, veneers, crowns (full and partial), crown caps and bridge frameworks.
Device Description
The CEREC® inLab and CEREC® Scan are identical stationary dental milling units consisting of the same hardware, software, and operating instructions. The table-top rectangular housing encases the motors, mechanical gears, position sensors, and the milling chamber. The milling chamber contains the laser scanner, two grinding burrs and the spindle for the ceramic block. The milling process is driven by electrical DC motors and stepper motors operating under microprocessor control. The laser scanner, mounted within the milling chamber, is used to scan impressions or models of the tooth or teeth. The scanned data is then transferred to a PC computer either via an RS232 interface cable connected to the serial interface port at the rear of the milling machine or via an optional wireless module. The PC contains the software that is used by the dentist or the dental technician to design the restoration from the scanned data. The restoration is then milled from a ceramic block in the milling chamber under microprocessor control using the design parameters.
More Information

No
The description focuses on mechanical milling and laser scanning controlled by a microprocessor, with design software running on a separate PC. There is no mention of AI or ML algorithms for design, analysis, or control.

No
This device is a milling machine used for creating dental restorations, which are considered medical devices, but it does not directly treat or diagnose a disease or condition. It is a tool used in the process of creating a restoration, not the therapeutic device itself.

No
The device is described as a milling machine for dental restorations, which creates physical dental devices based on scanned data and design parameters. It does not perform a diagnostic function but rather a manufacturing one.

No

The device description explicitly details hardware components such as motors, mechanical gears, position sensors, a milling chamber, a laser scanner, grinding burrs, and a spindle, indicating it is a physical milling machine with integrated software, not a software-only device.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the computer-aided design and milling of ceramic dental restorations. This is a process performed on materials outside of the human body to create a physical product (dental restoration).
  • Device Description: The description details a milling machine that scans impressions or models and then mills a ceramic block. This is a manufacturing process, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health condition.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that definition.

4. INTENDED USE

The CEREC® inLab and CEREC® Scan Dental Restoration Milling Machines are intended to be used in the computer-aided design and milling of ceramic dental restorations, including inlays, onlays, veneers, crowns (full and partial), crown caps and bridge frameworks.

The design and milling of bridge frameworks is the only new intended use and is the subject of this 510(k) Premarket Notification.

ડ. DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The CEREC® inLab and CEREC® Scan are identical stationary dental milling units consisting of the same hardware, software, and operating instructions. The table-top rectangular housing encases the motors, mechanical gears, position sensors, and the milling chamber. The milling chamber contains the laser scanner, two grinding burrs and the spindle for the ceramic block. The milling process is driven by electrical DC motors and stepper motors operating under microprocessor control. The laser scanner, mounted within the milling chamber, is used to scan impressions or models of the tooth or teeth. The scanned data is then transferred to a PC computer either via an RS232 interface cable connected to the serial interface port at the rear of the milling machine or via an optional wireless module. The PC contains the software that is used by the dentist or the dental technician to design the restoration from the scanned data. The restoration is then milled from a ceramic block in the milling chamber under microprocessor control using the design parameters.

6. BASIS FOR SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE

The CEREC® inLab and CEREC® Scan are substantially equivalent to CEREC® Scan that was cleared for marketing as part of the CEREC® 3 Ceramic Dental Restoration System under K994172. The main difference between the current CEREC® Scanning Milling Machines and the previous model is the additional capability of producing bridge framework restorations. However, the process for producing bridge frameworks is the same as for the other CEREC® restorations. The initial impression of the teeth at issue is made using traditional procedures and materials. The impression is fixed onto the spindle in the milling chamber, and the laser scanner is used to scan the impression. The CEREC® 3 software is then used to design the restoration based on the scanned impression. The resulting design parameters are used to mill the final restoration from the ceramic block.
