Intended Use
The Pontic Paint is intended for use as a light cure coloring agent of thermoplastic aligners.
Device Description
The Pontic Paint is a light cure coloring agent for thermoplastic aligners. The Pontic Paint is formulated in a viscosity that is easily mixed and bonds chemically to a typically difficult to adhere to surface, a thermoplastic aligner now common in the dental industry. This paint, upon polymerization, is in Vita Shades A1. A2, and Bl allowing the appearance of a realistic tooth under the thermoplastic aligner thereby making a missing tooth situation appear aesthetically pleasing to the patient undergoing orthodontic treatment using clear aligner systems. The light cure property of the paint allows the user to determine the polymerization time required by simply exposing the adhesive to an LED light source until set. The Pontic Paint will be marketed in a jar for ease of mixing and application with a brush.

The description focuses on the chemical and physical properties of a light-cure coloring agent and does not mention any computational or data-driven processes indicative of AI/ML.

No
Explanation: The device is a cosmetic coloring agent for aligners, not for treating or preventing a disease or condition.

No
The device is a light cure coloring agent for thermoplastic aligners, used for aesthetic purposes to make a missing tooth appear pleasing. It does not gather information about a patient's health or provide a diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "light cure coloring agent" and a "paint," which are physical substances, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to color thermoplastic aligners for aesthetic purposes, making a missing tooth appear realistic. This is a direct application to a medical device (the aligner) and is related to the physical appearance of the patient's teeth, not the diagnosis of a disease or condition.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the chemical properties of the paint, its ability to bond to the aligner, its color, and its light-curing properties. It does not mention any analysis of biological samples or any diagnostic function.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analysis of biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detection or measurement of analytes
    • Diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases or conditions
    • Use in a laboratory setting

The Pontic Paint is a material used to modify a medical device (the aligner) for aesthetic purposes. It falls under the category of a dental material or accessory, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
