The description focuses on the material composition and intended use of prefabricated plastic teeth for dentures, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.
No.
Explanation: The device is described as "prefabricated, preformed plastic teeth that are intended for use as teeth in removable dentures," serving as a replacement for natural teeth rather than directly treating a medical condition or disease.
No
The device description indicates that the Valplast International Corporation Yamahachi Teeth are prefabricated, preformed plastic teeth intended for use as teeth in removable dentures, and are used in conjunction with a denture-base resin for construction of removable full and partial dentures. This function is for replacement, not diagnosis.
No
The device is described as prefabricated, preformed plastic teeth made of synthetic polymers, which are physical components, not software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "use as teeth in removable dentures." This is a structural and functional replacement within the oral cavity, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample taken from the body.
- Device Description: The description details the materials and purpose of the teeth as components of dentures. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples
- Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions
The device is clearly intended for use as a medical device for prosthetic purposes within the oral cavity.

Device Description
The Yamahachi Teeth are anterior and posterior teeth that are intended to be used in removable dentures only. They are made up of three synthetic polymers including polymethlymethacrylate, polymethylmethacrylate-SiO2, and a composite resin urethane dimethacrylate-polymethylmethacrylate - SiO2. The Yamahachi Teeth are used in conjunction with a denture-base resin for construction of removable full and partial dentures. The teeth are intended to be used by dental professionals such as dentists and dental technicians. The Yamahachi line of teeth include various sizes, shapes, and shades of anterior and posterior preformed plastic teeth

5. INTENDED USE
The Valplast Corporation Yamahachi Teeth are prefabricated, preformed plastic teeth that are intended for use as teeth in removable dentures.
TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE 6.
The proposed Yamahachi teeth are essentially identical to the predicate devices in that they are all made from methylmethacrylate or a derivative of methylmethacrylate. The proposed and predicate devices are offered in various sizes, shapes, and colors. Like the predicate devices, the Yamahachi Teeth are artificial resin teeth that are compatible with all denture base resins.
7. PERFORMANCE TESTING
Extensive testing has been performed on the Yamahachi Teeth to demonstrate compliance with EN ISO 3336:1997 Dentistry; Synthetic polymer teeth; EN ISO 7405:1997 Dentistry; Preclinical evaluation of biocompatibility of medical devices used in dentistry, Test methods for dental materials; EN ISO 1567:1995 Denture Base Polymers; EN ISO 3950:1997 Dentistry-Designation system for teeth and areas of the oral cavity; and EN ISO 7491:2000 Dental Materials-Determination of color stability of dental polymeric materials.

Dear Ms. McNamara-Cullinane:
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.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0115.
