Intended Use
CAD/CAM veneering for anterior and posterior single crowns made of Lava Frame Zirconia, manufactured with Lava Design Software and the accordingly released Lava milling machine.
Device Description
Elegant is classified as Porcelain powder for clinical use (21 C.F.R. § 872.6660). Elegant is used for production of glass ceramic veneers for 3M ESPE Lava™ Frame Zirconia frameworks. Elegant consists of 4 glass ceramic blocks (E1 - E4), from which the veneer is milled. Each ceramic block is available in the two sizes S and M. The veneer is then fused to the Zirconia framework via color-coordinated fusion porcelain (D1 - D10). For smaller adjustments to the restoration, corrective porcelains (CR1 - CR4) can be used. For the tooth colors A4, B4, C3, C4, and D4, the basic shades ("Shade" A - D) must be used. The individual stains S1 (White), S2 (Lemon Yellow), S3 (Orange), S4 (Violet), S5 (Blue), S6 (Dark Brown), and glaze are used for individualization. For the mixing of the fusion porcelain powder and the corrective porcelain, modelling liquid is available; also, for stains and glaze, stain/glaze liquid is available. For the production of an Elegant restoration, the Lava™ Frame Zirconia framework and the corresponding Elegant veneer are virtually designed on the screen with the Lava™ Design Software. The milling for both parts takes place in the accordingly released Lava™ milling machine with special milling cutters. Subsequently the Lava™ Frame Zirconia framework is shaped and then sintered in the Lava™ sintering furnace. All of the above-mentioned Lava products are manufactured by or for 3M ESPE.

The summary describes a CAD/CAM system for dental veneers, focusing on materials, design software, and milling processes. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or specific sections for AI/ML information.

No.
The device is classified as "Porcelain powder for clinical use" and is used to create veneers for dental crowns, which are restorative rather than therapeutic.

No

Explanation: The device is described as "Porcelain powder for clinical use" used for "production of glass ceramic veneers for 3M ESPE Lava™ Frame Zirconia frameworks," which is a material used for dental restorations, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components (ceramic blocks, fusion porcelain, corrective porcelains, liquids) and hardware (Lava milling machine, Lava sintering furnace) used in the production of the dental restoration. While software (Lava Design Software) is mentioned, it is part of a larger system involving physical materials and machinery.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "CAD/CAM veneering for anterior and posterior single crowns made of Lava Frame Zirconia". This describes a process for creating dental restorations, which are medical devices used in vivo (within the body).
  • Device Description: The device is described as "Porcelain powder for clinical use" and is used for "production of glass ceramic veneers". This further reinforces its use in creating dental prosthetics.
  • Classification: The device is classified as "Porcelain powder for clinical use (21 C.F.R. § 872.6660)". This classification falls under the category of dental devices, not in vitro diagnostic devices.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any use for testing samples in vitro (outside the body) to diagnose, monitor, or screen for diseases or conditions. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples like blood, urine, or tissue.

In summary, the device is a material used in the manufacturing of dental restorations, which are medical devices for use within the patient's mouth. This is distinct from an in vitro diagnostic device, which is used to perform tests on samples outside the body.

For the mixing of the fusion porcelain powder and the corrective porcelain, modelling liquid is available; also, for stains and glaze, stain/glaze liquid is available.

For the production of an Elegant restoration, the Lava™ Frame Zirconia framework and the corresponding Elegant veneer are virtually designed on the screen with the Lava™ Design Software. The milling for both parts takes place in the accordingly released Lava™ milling machine with special milling cutters. Subsequently the Lava™ Frame Zirconia framework is shaped and then sintered in the Lava™ sintering furnace. All of the above-mentioned Lava products are manufactured by or for 3M ESPE.

The comparison for chemistry, performance data and indications for use shows that Elegant is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

In summary, it can be concluded that safety and effectiveness requirements for Elegant are completely met.
