The document describes a dental varnish and its physical properties and performance in occluding dentinal tubules. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies. The image analysis mentioned is likely standard image processing for measurement, not AI/ML-based analysis.
Yes
The device is described as providing "relief from sensitive teeth due to hypersensitivity" and "rapid relief from sensitive teeth" by forming a film that occludes compromised surfaces, including open dentinal tubules, which directly addresses a medical condition.
No
The device is a cavity varnish used to provide relief from tooth surface hypersensitivity by forming a film that occludes compromised surfaces. It is for treatment, not diagnosis. The performance studies describe evaluating the product’s effectiveness in occluding tubules, not diagnosing a condition.
No
The device is a physical varnish containing sodium fluoride and a shellac resin base, intended for topical application to teeth. It is classified as a Cavity Varnish, which is a physical medical device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for treating sensitive teeth, exposed dentin, and root surface sensitivity by being applied directly to these surfaces in the mouth. This is a therapeutic application, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The device is described as a "Cavity Varnish" that is "topically applied" to teeth. It works by forming a film to occlude dentinal tubules. This is a physical mechanism of action within the body, not an in vitro test performed on a sample taken from the body.
- Anatomical Site: The anatomical site is teeth, dentin surfaces, and root surface, which are all within the body.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies involve applying the varnish to human dentin slabs and examining the occlusion of tubules. While this involves some in vitro testing of the material's properties, the purpose is to demonstrate its effectiveness when applied in vivo to the tooth surface.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease. This device does not fit that description.

Device Description
SmartCoat 2.5% NaF Varnish is classified as a Cavity Varnish (21 CFR 872.3260) because it is a device that provides relief from tooth surface hypersensitivity when applied to dentin surfaces by forming a film that facilitates occlusion of compromised surfaces including open dentinal tubules.
SmartCoat is a topically applied, flavored cavity varnish containing sodium fluoride in a shellac resin based preparation. The varnish is an insoluble viscous liquid that dries once applied to the teeth to form a surface film. The packaging provides an accurate dosing and uniform dispensing mechanism for consistent product mixing and delivery.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Summary of Physical Tests: Smart coat was tested using subjective light microscopy analysis at 500x magnification to determine dentin tubule occlusion. Human dentin slabs were prepared as described in the bench performance testing section (Section 18) and varnish was applied to the sample. The varnish was allowed to cure in an incubator and then placed in de-ionized water and stirred vigorously for 6 days. Images were taken immediately after application, and after 3 and 6 days. The specimens were examined for tubule occlusion by image analysis.
Key results: All dentinal tubules that were initially covered at time 0 remained covered through the entire treatment period well enough that nearly no dentinal tubules were visible in the coated area. The only visible tubules were still covered by a layer of SmartCoat, however the layer was transparent in a small area near the border. The amount of remaining tubule covering was ranked on a scale of 1-6 with 1 = no occlusion, 2 = 25-50% or less occlusion, 3 = 25-50% occlusion, 4 = 50-75% occlusion, 5 = more than 75% occlusion, and 6 = complete occlusion. At all measured time points occlusion ratings for SmartCoat Varnish were 6.
It was concluded that SmartCoat varnish will occlude exposed tubules and therefore the varnish should provide relief from tooth hypersensitivity.

Indications for Use
- SmartCoat 2.5% NaF Varnish is intended for use on sensitive teeth, over exposed dentin . and root surface sensitivity, and under temporary restorations or cements where post operative sensitivity is of concern.
- . Rapid Desensitizer
- . Provides rapid relief from sensitive teeth due hypersensitivity
Technological Characteristics
The chemical composition of SmartCoat is similar to the predicate devices and other fluoride varnishes which have been in use for many decades. These products use resins, rosins, modified rosins, hydroxypropyl cellulose, polyurethane, methacrylates, polyethyleneglycol dimethacrylate, and other film forming ingredients to cover dentinal tubules and provide relief from dentinal hypersensitivity.
Shellac resin was chosen as the film forming agent for SmartCoat Varnish due to its extensive safe history in dental and food applications as a film forming barrier and properties similar to existing resins in the Cavity Varnish category. The use of this ingredient rather than colophony rosin eliminates the concern of colophony rosin allergies experienced by some varnishes. Shellac has been used in denture trays and base plates for many years; these trays and plates are currently considered 510(k) exempt (regulation numbers 872.3670, 872.6200).
Many cavity varnishes contain sodium fluoride, calcium phosphates or other mineral ingredients to help occlude tubules. SmartCoat contains sodium fluoride and hydroxyapatite to help occlude tubules.
Summary of Physical Tests
Smart coat was tested using subjective light microscopy analysis at 500x magnification to determine dentin tubule occlusion. Human dentin slabs were prepared as described in the bench performance testing section (Section 18) and varnish was applied to the sample. The varnish was allowed to cure in an incubator and then placed in de-ionized water and stirred vigorously for 6 days. Images were taken immediately after application, and after 3 and 6 days. The specimens were examined for tubule occlusion by image analysis.
All dentinal tubules that were initially covered at time 0 remained covered through the entire treatment period well enough that nearly no dentinal tubules were visible in the coated area. The only visible tubules were still covered by a layer of SmartCoat, however the layer was transparent in a small area near the border. The amount of remaining tubule covering was ranked on a scale of 1-6 with 1 = no occlusion, 2 = 25-50% or less occlusion, 3 = 25-50% occlusion, 4 = 50-75% occlusion, 5 = more than 75% occlusion, and 6 = complete occlusion. At all measured time points occlusion ratings for SmartCoat Varnish were 6.

It was concluded that SmartCoat varnish will occlude exposed tubules and therefore the varnish should provide relief from tooth hypersensitivity.
Description of Safety and Substantial Equivalence
The chemical components in SmartCoat Varnish have been used in predicate devices, are listed as GRAS ingredients, or both. Shellac and ammonium phosphate have extensive use in food preparation and coatings as well as dental applications that provide significant history of safe use. We believe these facts well support the compatibility of SmartCoat Varnish, and the safety of the applicant device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices in properties, intended use and composition.
Information provided in this submission confirms the substantial equivalence to the predicate devices with common indications. The data provided in this 510(k) submission also shows that the composition is safe for its intended use based on the biocompatibility assessment and risk assessment conduced according to ISO 10993 and ISO 14971.
