The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and clinical performance of the obturation points and sealer, with no mention of AI or ML technology.
No.
The device is described as an obturation point used for permanent sealing of root canals, which is a restorative procedure rather than a therapeutic one aimed at treating a disease or disorder.
No
This device is used for permanently sealing root canals, which is a treatment function, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly states that the device is a physical obturation point made of a radiopaque core and a hydrophilic coating. It is a physical object inserted into a root canal, 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 "permanent sealing of root canals." This is a therapeutic procedure performed directly on the patient's anatomy (root canals).
- Device Description: The device is a physical obturation point inserted into the root canal. It interacts with the tooth structure and a dental sealer.
- Mechanism of Action: The device works by physically filling the root canal space and interacting with the sealer to create a seal. It does not involve testing or analyzing a sample from the human body to provide diagnostic information.
- Anatomical Site: The device is used within the "root canals," which are part of the patient's anatomy.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the physical properties of the device (sealing, resistance to chemicals, radiopacity) and clinical outcomes related to the success of the root canal filling (failure rate, healing). These are not diagnostic performance metrics.
IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device is used in vivo (within the body) for a therapeutic purpose.

Device Description
The propoints are identical to the points cleared for marketing with K100248. They are made of a radiopaque core and an opaque hydrophilic coating of cross-linked hydrophilic polymers that have been used in the contact lens industry for more than 20 years.
propoints are offered in the traditional 4% and 6% sizes and for use with variable taper files (such as ProTaper™ and Sendoline S5™). They are biocompatible and fully opaque. The hydrophilic coating expands radially to push the sealer into irregularities and voids present in the root canal system for a tight mechanical seal with the dentine. The coating only expands into available space and does not exert pressure on tooth structures. Dimensional length stability is maintained.
The points are packaged in clean room conditions and come individually wrapped to prevent cross-contamination. They can be cut to exact tip size and length.
No heating or compression equipment is required. Post insertion can commence immediately after root canal has been filled. The hydrophilic properties of the device allow extraction without softeners in revision procedures.
propoints are
- coated with DRFP smartpaste prior to insertion into the root canal . (K100248) or
- inserted after the root canal has been filled with EndoSequence® BC. .
To demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of root obturations with this sealer is the subject of this submission.
"is a convenient premixed ready-to-use injectable white hydraulic cement paste developed for permanent root canal filling and sealing applications. EndoSequence® BC (iRoot SP) is an insoluble, radiopaque and aluminum-free material based on a calcium silicate composition, which requires the presence of water to set and harden. The sealer does not shrink during setting and demonstrates excellent physical properties."

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Bench Tests:
- In-Vitro Dye Penetration and Sealing Test: Heat-sterilized extracted teeth filled with EndoSequence® and propoints and immersed in Brilliant Blue Dye solution for at least one week, showed no sign of dye ingress after sectioning and assessment under a microscope.
- Exposure to Sodium Hypochlorite: If the canal is rinsed three times prior to insertion, the remaining 0.01% sodium hypochlorite will have no effect on safety and effectiveness.
- Exposure to EDTA: Undiluted 17% EDTA has shown to have no effect on the system.
- Radiopacity: Clinical x-rays validate the excellent radiopacity of both devices.
Clinical Performance:
- Study type: Clinical use over 18 months, observation by DRFP User Panel of practicing dentists.
- Sample size: approx. 2000 treatments.
- Key results: A 0.8% failure rate, predominantly attributed to tooth rather than material problems. Clinical x-rays confirm effective bonding to tooth structures and provide evidence of good healing.

5.8 Statement of Intended Use [807.92(a)(5)]
DRFP propoint obturation points are designed for permanent sealing of root canals when used with DRFP smartpaste dental sealer or with EndoSequence® BC Sealer following established endodontic procedures by qualified healthcare professionals.
Federal US Law restricts propoints (K100248) and Brasseler EndoSequence® BC (K080917) to sale by or on the order of a dentist.
Comparison with Predicate Devices [807.92(a)(6)] 5.9
The use of propoints with Brasseler EndeSequence® BC Sealer for root canal obturations is substantially equivalent to the performance of the DRFP ProSmart Root Canal Obturation System (K100248).

5.10 Performance Data (807.92(b)]
5.10.1 BenchTests (807.92(b)(1)
DRFP propoints used with EndoSequence® BC Sealer:
- In-Vitro Dye Penetration and Sealing Test to Validate 1) Effective Seal
Heat-sterilized extracted teeth (more brittle and desiccated than patients' teeth), filled with EndoSequence® and propoints and immersed in Brilliant Blue Dye solution for at least one week, showed no sign of dye ingress after sectioning and assessment under a microscope.
.
..............................................................................................................................................................................
ー ・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・
Includes immediate tooth failures such as fracturing, canal ossification, teeth requiring extraction n
3
2) Exposure to Sodium Hvpochlorite
The manufacturer recommends to rinse the canal three (3) times prior to insertion of the endodontic components. If this regime is followed, the remaining value of 0.01% sodium hypochlorite will have no effect on the safety and effectiveness of the devices.
3) Exposure to EDTA
- Undiluted 17% EDTA has shown to have no effect on the system. 4) Radiopacity
- Clinical x-rays validate the excellent radiopacity of both devices.
5.10.2 Clinical Performance (807.92(b)(2)
18 months of clinical use demonstrate that propoint and EndoSequence® Sealer form an effective and safe system for the obturation of root canals. Out of approx. 2000 treatments, the DRFP User Panel of practicing dentists reports a 0.8% failure rate that is predominantly attributed to tooth rather than material oroblems. An abundance of clinical x-rays confirm effective bonding to tooth structures and provide evidence of good healing.
5.10.3 Conclusion (807.92(b)(3)
Bench test results and clinical evidence based on more than 2000 treatments performed by DRFP User Panel of practicing dentists, including x-rays, show that DRFP propoints with Brasseler USA EndoSequence ® BC sealer form an effective system for root canal obturations.
Contraindications 5.11
The manufacturer recommends to not use the system in pregnant women and in nursing mothers.
5.12 Information Bearing on Safety and Effectiveness [807.92 (b)(3)]
. . . .
The materials used in DRFP propoints and EndoSequence® BC Sealer have a long history of safe and effective use in dental and other medical devices.
Biocompatibility testing according to ISO 10993 and ISO 7405 has shown the materials to be non-toxic, non-carcinogenic and biocompatible with tissue fluids . There are no characteristics known that should adversely affect the safety and effectiveness of this device combination.
Performance bench test results and abundant clinical data demonstrate that DRFP propoints in combination with Brasseler USA EndoSequence® BC Sealer form an effective and safe system for the obturation of dental root canals and that it is substantially equivalent to the predicate.
The results of design validation and non-clinical and clinical performance testing raise no new issues of safety and effectiveness.
