Intended Use
tenure@4G is recommended for the following types of applications: 1) All routine direct and indirect resin composite bonding 2) Porcelain, ceramic veneers, amalgams, precious and semi-precious metals bonding 3) Indirect gold, porcelain and ceramic inlays and onlays bonding 4) Desensitization of root or dentin prior to impressions or temporaries 5) Preparation desensitization of crown prior to impressions or temporaries
Device Description
tenure * 4G is DenMat's next generation of its popular Tenure MPB System with greater bond strength and sensitivity control. It is a 40 generation multi-purpose, self-cure adhesive system for bonding any resin restorative to all intraoral surfaces. They are polymerizable dental monomer resins that are chemically-cured with the reaction initiated when the two parts are mixed together. These polymers form strong leak and stain resistant bonds between the dental surface and restorations placed over them.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the chemical and mechanical properties of a dental adhesive system, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

No
The device is a dental adhesive used for bonding restorations and desensitizing teeth, not for treating diseases or conditions.

No

This device is a dental adhesive used for bonding restorations to intraoral surfaces and for desensitization, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "multi-purpose, self-cure adhesive system" composed of "polymerizable dental monomer resins" that are "chemically-cured." This describes a physical material, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended uses listed are all related to bonding dental materials to intraoral surfaces for restorative and desensitization purposes. These are procedures performed directly on the patient's body, not on samples taken from the body for diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a self-cure adhesive system for bonding dental materials. This aligns with a dental restorative or bonding agent, not a diagnostic test.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health condition.
  • Performance Metrics: The key metrics are related to physical/mechanical properties like shear bond strength, which are relevant to the performance of a dental adhesive, not a diagnostic test.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device's function is entirely focused on facilitating dental restorations and desensitization within the mouth.

Description of the Device

tenure * 4G is DenMat's next generation of its popular Tenure MPB System with greater bond strength and sensitivity control. It is a 40 generation multi-purpose, self-cure adhesive system for bonding any resin restorative to all intraoral surfaces. They are polymerizable dental monomer resins that are chemically-cured with the reaction initiated when the two parts are mixed together. These polymers form strong leak and stain resistant bonds between the dental surface and restorations placed over them.

Intended Use of the Device

tenure #G is intended to be used as a resin tooth bonding agent. It is used for composite bonding of porcelain and metals, as well as for desensitizing root, dentin or crown prior to impressions or temporaries.

Indications of Use of the Device

tenure 4G is recommended for the following types of applications:

    1. All routine direct and indirect resin composite bonding.
    1. Porcelain, ceramic veneers, amalgams, precious and semi-precious metals bonding.
    1. Indirect gold, porcelain and ceramic inlays and onlays bonding.
    1. Desensitization of root or dentin prior to impressions and temporaries.
    1. Preparation desensitization of crown prior to impression or temporaries.

Substantial Equivalence Discussion

    1. Intended Uses/Indications for Use
      tenure 4G and the predicate devices are intended to be used as resin tooth bonding agents. They are used for composite bonding of porcelain and metals, as well as for desensitizing root, dentin or crown prior to impressions or temporaries.

tenure 4G and Tenure MPB are recommended for the following types of applications: all routine direct and indirect resin composite bonding; porcelain, ceramic veneers, amalgams, precious and semi-precious metals bonding; indirect gold, porcelain and ceramic inlays and onlays bonding; desensitization of root or dentin prior to impressions and temporaries; and preparation desensitization of crown prior to impression or temporaries.

ALL-BOND 2 applications include bonding to dentin, enamel, new or old composite, precious and non-precious casting alloys, silane treated porcelain, and new or old amalgam; and treatment of tooth sensitivity.

Scientific literature have been evaluated to determine safety and efficacy of similar products used for the same indications. The intended uses and indications for use of the subject device are substantially equivalent to those of the predicate devices.

    1. Chemical Components/Safety
      Chemical components in tenure 4G have been used in the predicate devices. Scientific literature have been evaluated to determine safety and efficacy of similar products used for the same indications. The predicate devices have not been a focus of any advisory notice or recalls according to the post-market adverse event reporting requirements in the United States. The conclusion can be made that the safety of the subject device is substantially cquivalent to those of the predicate devices.
    1. Technological Characteristics/Effectiveness and Performance
      There are no international standards concerning performance for these types of devices. Scientific literature have been evaluated to determine safety and efficacy of similar products used for the same indications. The physical/mechanical properties of tenure 4G were tested in the lab using R&D test protocols. Results of shear bond testing indicate that tenure 4G was as effective and performs as good as or even better than the predicate devices. The conclusion can be made that the effectiveness and performance of the subject device is substantially equivalent to those of the predicate devices.
