Intended Use
The NobelProcera IPS e.max Crown is indicated for use as core structures of crowns that will be cemented to natural or artificial tooth abutments in the treatment of partially edentulous patients as an aid in prosthetic rehabilitation.
Device Description
NobelProcera IPS e.max CAD Crowns are core superstructures intended for the fabrication of crowns. They are made of lithium disilicate glass-ceramic using a wax-up or CAD design technique. The Nobel Biocare IPS e.max CAD core superstructure can be designed using traditional wax-up t no nove or using Nobel Biocare crown design software. The core superstructure can be designed using the final anatomic shape or a cut-back technique. Wax-up designs are scanned at the laboratory. Both scanned wax-up and CAD designed core superstructure design information is transmitted electronically to the Nobel Biocare manufacturing facility. The core superstructures are manufactured using CAM techniques and delivered to the laboratory for finishing.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on traditional CAD/CAM manufacturing techniques for dental crowns and does not mention any AI or ML components.

No.
The device is a core structure for crowns used in prosthetic rehabilitation, which is a restorative rather than therapeutic function.

No.
The device is described as a core structure for crowns used in prosthetic rehabilitation, without any mention of diagnosing medical conditions or diseases.

No

The device description clearly states the device is a physical core superstructure made of lithium disilicate glass-ceramic, manufactured using CAM techniques. While software is used in the design process, the final device is a physical component.

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 fabrication of core structures for crowns to be cemented to natural or artificial tooth abutments for prosthetic rehabilitation. This is a dental prosthetic device, not a diagnostic test.
  • Device Description: The description details the material (lithium disilicate glass-ceramic) and the manufacturing process (wax-up or CAD design, CAM manufacturing). This aligns with the description of a dental restoration component.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to test a sample from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a disease or condition.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on biological samples to aid in diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device's function is purely structural and restorative within the oral cavity.
