The description focuses on the material composition and manufacturing process of a dental ceramic system, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.
No
This device is a dental ceramic system used to create crowns and bridges for natural teeth, which are restorative processes, not therapeutic treatments.
No
Explanation: The device is a dental ceramic system used for restoring natural teeth (e.g., crowns and bridges) and does not mention any diagnostic capabilities.
No
The device description clearly outlines a physical dental ceramic system involving pressing ingots, metal frameworks, and a ceramic press-furnace, indicating it is a hardware-based device, not software-only.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to create dental restorations (crowns and bridges) for natural teeth. This is a direct application to the patient's body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
- Device Description: The description details a process for fabricating a physical dental prosthesis using ceramic materials and a pressing technique. This is a manufacturing process for a medical device, not a diagnostic test.
- Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing information for diagnosis or treatment decisions based on in vitro analysis.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device is a dental material system used to create a physical restoration.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
BeCe PRESS Ceramic system permits restorations of natural teeth in the form of metal-ceramic crowns and bridges. The pressable ceramics can be pressed to frames made of precious or non-precious alloys with a CTE of 14.6 x 10-6 K-1 (20ºC to 500ºC) after application of opaquer. Applications range from single tooth crowns to various size bridges.

Device Description
BeCe PRESS is a dental ceramic system for veneering metal copings and frameworks using a press on alloy technique. The pressing ingots are composed of a two-phase leucite reinforced silicate ceramic.
The restoration is processed according to the lost wax technique. The opaqued mteal framework is first waxed-up in the desired shape an function and invested. After burning out of the wax the heated, ductile BeCe PRESS ceramic is pressed into the previously created hollow space by a special ceramic press-furnace. After devesting, the restoration can be individually characterized by shade/stains and glaze materials with accompanying liquids

§ 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)

Intended use/ Indications for Use
BeCe PRESS Ceramic system permits restorations of natural teeth in the form of metal-ceramic crowns and bridges. The pressable ceramics can be pressed to frames made of precious or nonprecious alloys with a CTE of 14.6 x 10-6 K-1 (20ºC to 500ºC) after application of opaquer. Applications range from single tooth crowns to various size bridges.
Technology characteristics
BeCe PRESS is a dental ceramic system for veneering metal copings and frameworks using a press on alloy technique. The pressing ingots are composed of a two-phase leucite reinforced silicate ceramic.
The restoration is processed according to the lost wax technique. The opaqued mteal framework is first waxed-up in the desired shape an function and invested. After burning out of the wax the heated, ductile BeCe PRESS ceramic is pressed into the previously created hollow space by a special ceramic press-furnace. After devesting, the restoration can be individually characterized by shade/stains and glaze materials with accompanying liquids
Performance data
Image /page/1/Figure/8 description: This image shows a table with technical specifications for a ceramic material labeled as "BeCe PRESS Ceramic". The table includes properties such as CTE (Coefficient of Thermal Expansion) after 2 and 4 firings, chemical solubility, and 3-point flexural strength. The CTE values for both 2 and 4 firings are listed as 13.0, while the chemical solubility is less than or equal to 20 µg/cm², and the flexural strength is greater than 100 MPa.
Contraindications
BeCe PRESS is intended solely for dental applications,used by dental technicians and trained persons/people. This product is not designed to be used with restorations that do not have a metal substructure or frame. It is strongly recommended that only metal frameworks expressly approved by BEGO should be used for the press on alloy technique with BeCe PRESS ceramics. All other alloys not tested by BEGO must be tested by the user before any restoration for a patient is created. Users are solely responsible for subsequent use in all cases.
As such the BeCe Press can be concluded substantial equivalent to the predicate device.
