Intended Use
Turkom-Cera fused alumina copings are indicated for use as core structures of an artificial prosthesis, i.e., a three unit bridge, long bridges, full mouth bridges, for partially endentulous patients in the need of prosthetic oral reconstruction in order to restore chewing function. The copings are also indicated for use as single crowns that will be cemented to a natural or an artificial tooth abutment in the treatment of partially endentulous patients in order to restore chewing function.

No
The 510(k) summary describes a dental coping made of fused alumina, a purely structural and passive device. There is no mention of any software, image processing, or AI/ML terms.

Yes
The device is described as an artificial prosthesis (copings for dental bridges and crowns) intended to restore chewing function in patients, which is a therapeutic purpose.

No
Explanation: The device, Turkom-Cera fused alumina copings, is described as a core structure for artificial prostheses (bridges, crowns) used to restore chewing function in partially edentulous patients. Its purpose is restoration, not diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly indicates a physical product ("fused alumina copings") used as a core structure for dental prostheses. This is a hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes the device as a core structure for dental prostheses (crowns and bridges) used to restore chewing function in patients. This is a medical device used in vivo (within the body) for structural support and restoration.
  • Device Description: The description "Coping for porcelain teeth" further reinforces its role as a component of a dental restoration.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.

IVDs are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze biological samples. This device is used in vivo as a structural component of a dental prosthesis.

§ 872.6660 Porcelain powder for clinical use.

(a)
Identification. Porcelain powder for clinical use is a device consisting of a mixture of kaolin, felspar, quartz, or other substances intended for use in the production of artificial teeth in fixed or removable dentures, of jacket crowns, facings, and veneers. The device is used in prosthetic dentistry by heating the powder mixture to a high temperature in an oven to produce a hard prosthesis with a glass-like finish.(b)
Classification. Class II.
