The summary describes a dental cement and its physical properties and intended uses. There is no mention of any computational or analytical capabilities that would suggest the use of AI or ML.
No.
The device is a dental cement used for core build-up and cementing various dental restorations, which are structural and restorative functions, not therapeutic.
No
Explanation: The device, Ti-Core® Flow+, is described as a dual-cure resin cement and core material used for dental restorations and cementing, not for diagnosing any medical condition.
No
The device description clearly indicates it is a physical material (dual-cure resin cement) packaged in syringes with mixers and dispensing tips. It is 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 a material used in the mouth for dental procedures (core build-up, cementing restorations and posts). IVDs are used to examine specimens from the body (like blood, urine, tissue) outside the body to provide information about a patient's health.
- Device Description: The description details a resin cement and its packaging, which is consistent with a dental material used directly on or in a tooth.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status.
Therefore, Ti-Core® Flow+ is a dental restorative and luting material, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
Ti-Core® Flow+ is indicated for vital or non-vital tooth core build-up (replacement of existing restorations and/or lost tooth structure), as a base prior to fabricating an indirect restoration, and as a post cement. Ti-Core® Flow+ is also indicated for cementing of endodontic posts, crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, and for core build-ups.

Device Description
Ti-Core® Flow+ is a dual-cure resin cement that can be used as a luting agent and core material. It is packaged in the familiar double-barrel syringe and our materials with the puttless other dental materials. The steps required to oroperly express the cement are: remove cap, attach mixer, attach dispensing tip, press plunger. After use, the mixer/dispensing tip should be discarded and the cap replaced.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Non-clinical performance testing for Ti-Core® Flow+ and Fluorocore 2+ was conducted according to ISO standard 4049. This includes evaluation of film thickness, working and setting time, sensitivity to ambient light, depth of cure, flexural strength, water solubility and sorption, and radiopacity. Results of the testing conclude that Ti-Core® Flow+ meets or exceeds the ISO specification except for radiopacity, which is not claimed by the proposed device.

Device Description: 4.
Ti-Core® Flow+ is a dual-cure resin cement that can be used as a luting agent and core material. It is packaged in the familiar double-barrel syringe and our materials with the puttless other dental materials. The steps required to oroperly express the cement are: remove cap, attach mixer, attach dispensing tip, press plunger. After use, the mixer/dispensing tip should be discarded and the cap replaced.

2 - Dual chambered syringes each containing 9 am resin cement
- 20 Mixers
10 - Thin dispensing tips

5. Intended Use:
Ti-Core® Flow+ is indicated for vital or non-vital tooth core build-up (replacement of existing restorations and/or lost tooth structure), as a base prior to fabricating an indirect restoration, and as a post cement. Ti-Core® Flow+ is also indicated for cementing of endodontic posts, crowns, bridges, inlays, and for core build-ups.
6. Comparison to Predicate Devices:
The subject device is similar to Fluorocore 2+ and ParaCem Universal in that they are dual-cure resin cement that can be used as a luting agent and core material. These materials are packaged in the familiar double-barrel syringe configuration used by countless other dental materials. The directions for use for these materials are nearly identical. On a high level, the formulation of these products are the same. They are comprised of two pastes each containing methacrylate monomers with glass and/or quartz fillers. One paste contains photoinitiators and cure accelerators while the other contains self-cure initiators.
Because detailed formulations for these two predicate devices do not appear in the public domain, we have cited an additional predicate device for which we do have complete formulation data for: Ti-Core Natural. The subject device contains the same components of Ti-Core Natural with the addition of the popular photoinitiators camphorquinone and ethyl 4 dimethylamino benzoate and the methacrylate resin dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate.
Discussion of Non-Clinical Tests Performed for Determination of 7. Substantial Equivalence are as Follows:
Biocompatibility literature supplied with this 510(k) submission along with Material Safety Data Sheets, has shown that the materials in Ti-Core® Flow+ do not raise any new safety/biocompatibility concerns.
Non-clinical performance testing for Ti-Core® Flow+ and Fluorocore 2+ was conducted according to ISO standard 4049. This includes evaluation of film thickness, working and setting time, sensitivity to ambient light, depth of cure, flexural strength, water solubility and sorption, and radiopacity. Results of the testing conclude that Ti-Core® Flow+ meets or exceeds the ISO specification except for radiopacity, which is not claimed by the proposed device.

9. Conclusions:
.
Ti-Core® Flow+ has the same intended use and similar technological characteristics as the predicate devices. Moreover, the literature supplied in this submission demonstrates that any differences in their material formulations do not raise any new questions as to safety or effectiveness. Thus, Ti-Core® Flow+ is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
