More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the material properties and clinical performance of a dental resin composite, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

No.
The device is a temporary dental material, not a therapeutic device. It is used to create a temporary prosthesis until a permanent restoration can be fabricated, indicating a restorative or prosthetic function rather than a therapeutic one (i.e., treating or curing a disease or condition).

No
The device is a resin composite for making temporary prostheses, not for diagnosing conditions. Its listed functions involve fabrication and material properties (e.g., strength, setting time), not diagnostic analysis.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "dual-cure, glass-filled, resin composite" and lists material components, indicating it is a physical material, not software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that Pulpdent Tuff-Temp 2.0 is used to make a temporary prosthesis (crown or bridge) for use in the mouth of a patient.
  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside of the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The description details a material used for fabrication, not for analyzing biological samples.

This device is a dental material intended for direct application and use within the patient's oral cavity, making it a medical device, but not an IVD.

DEVICE: Pulpdent Tuff-Temp 2.0 Trade Name: Classification Name: Temporary Crown and Bridge Resin Class: Il FDA Product Code: 76 EBG, 21 CFR Part 872.3770

PREDICATE DEVICES:

Pulpdent Tuff-Temp Luxatemp, DMG

DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE:

Pulpdent Tuff-Temp 2.0 is a dual-cure, glass-filled, resin composite used by the dental professional to make a temporary prosthesis, such as a crown or bridge, to be used until a permanent restoration can be fabricated.

COMPARISON WITH PREDICATE PRODUCTS:

Pulpdent Tuff-Temp 2.0 is substantially equivalent in design, composition, performance and intended use to the predicate products. The predicate products have been found substantially equivalent under the 510(k) Premarket Notification process as Class II Dental Devices under CFR 872.3770. Tuff-Temp 2.0 is an enhanced version of the original Tuff-Temp with improved esthetics, reduced oxygen inhibited layer and lower heat rise on setting.

SUMMARY OF PERFORMANCE TESTING - BENCH:

The following test results demonstrate that Tuff-Temp 2.0 performs as intended:

Flexural strength$84.0 \pm 4.0$ MPa
Compressive strength$205.0 \pm 18.0$ MPa
Deflection at break$2.3 \pm 0.3$ mm
Heat rise5.4°C
Self-cureLight cure
Initial setting time90 seconds20 seconds
Final self-cure setting time5 minutes from beginning of mixNot applicable

B10COMPATIBILITY:

Pre-production clinical evaluations of Tuff-Temp 2.0 by dentists in the field and by dentist consultants were positive. Tuff-Temp 2.0 has been sold in Europe as a CE marked medical device for the past four months. Its use in clinical practice has met both user and patient needs and there have been no reports of adverse events.

The original Tuff-Temp has been on the market for two years. Field Reports from sales people, dentists. and other customers have praised Tuff-Temp for its qualities. During that time there have been no reports of adverse events, i.e., allergic reactions, soft tissue irritation, etc. There is sufficient similarity between Tuff-Temp and Tuff-Temp 2.0 to expect that it will have equivalent biocompatibility.

CONCLUSION:

From the above comparisons, the bench testing and more than ten years of problem-free use of similar temporary crown and bridge resins in the dental profession, it can be concluded that Pulpdent Tuff-Temp 2.0 is substantially equivalent in design, composition, performance and intended use to the predicate products listed above.
