Intended Use
Zenoflex dimension is a dental ceramic, which is suitable for veneering hard-sintered zirconium dioxide frameworks with a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE 25-500°C) of approx. 10.5 x 10° K 1.
Device Description
Zenoflex dimension is a dental porcelain system that consists of about 150 different ceramic powders and it is intended to be used by professional dental technicians to manufacture all-ceramic dental appliances for the sole use of particular patients. Zenoflex dimension is recommended for veneering zirconium dioxide (ZrQs) frameworks with a coefficient of thermal expansion [CTE ¿25-500°C]] of approximately 10,5 x 10° Ki¹. The Zenoflex dimension ceramic offers the dental technician the possibility to chose between different kinds of laver techniques considering aesthetical and economical aspects. The "One layer technique", which is a fast and simple procedure to manufacture ceramic restorations, considers primarily the economical aspects. For manufacturing ceramic restorations the user needed numerous types of ceramic (dentine and incisal ceramics) so far. But now less types of ceramic are necessary for manufacturing anatomical crowns or bridges and for achieving the desired dental colour. The "Three layer techniques" enable the user to achieve a dental restoration with a more aesthetical result, because this layer technique comprises the application of at least three different types of ceramic. With the "Professional layer technique" the dental technician can carry out an extended professional build-up to achieve a dental restoration with the most aesthetical result. Furthermore the Zenoflex dimension ceramic enables the user to manufacture dental restorations with colours of the "VITA Toothguide Classical" as well as of the "VITA Toothguide 3D-Master".

The document describes a dental ceramic material and its application techniques, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
This device is a dental ceramic used by dental technicians to manufacture all-ceramic dental appliances, such as crowns or bridges, for patients. It is a material used in the creation of a restoration, not a therapeutic device itself.

No

The device is a dental ceramic system used by dental technicians to manufacture all-ceramic dental appliances for patients. It is a material for manufacturing restorations, not a tool for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a dental ceramic system consisting of ceramic powders, which are physical materials, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for veneering dental frameworks to create dental appliances for individual patients. This is a restorative dental material, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples.
  • Device Description: The description details a dental porcelain system used by dental technicians to manufacture dental restorations. It focuses on the material properties and layering techniques for creating aesthetically pleasing and functional dental prosthetics.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Purpose: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition.
  • User: The intended user is a professional dental technician, not a healthcare professional performing diagnostic tests.

The device is clearly intended for the fabrication of dental prosthetics, which falls under the category of medical devices, but not specifically In Vitro Diagnostic devices.

6. Comparison with the predicate device

Zenoflex dimension is substantially equivalent to the medical device Zirox.

Zenoflex dimension as well as Zirox is dental porcelain, which is made of glass frit. Both have similar indications for use, in which they are intended to be used by professional.dental technicians to veneer zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) frameworks to manufacture dental restorations. Physical, biological and chemical properties of the device, like bending strength, coefficient of thermal expansion, biocompatibility and chemical solubility were tested according to international accepted standards, e.g. ISO 6872, ISO 7405, and meet their demands, respectively, and indicate high safety and effectiveness.

Considering these excellent material properties and the numerous similarities as well as the lack of any significant differences between both devices, it can be concluded, that Zenoflex dimension is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the predicate device.
