Device Description

The new Bulk Fill Flowable Composite manufactured by Septodont Louisville is a low viscosity, radiopaque flowable composite which sets upon exposure to a high-intensity blue light source. After polymerization, it exhibits low stress on the bond with the tooth, and it has a high polymerization conversion. This high degree of polymerization is achieved with short curing times and creates improved physical and mechanical properties. The new Bulk Fill Flowable Composite is packaged in single dose capsules and syringes. The shades offered with Bulk Fill Flowable Composite are: A1, A2, A3, A3.5.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for a dental device, "Bulk Fill Flowable Composite." This type of document is for regulatory clearance and focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices based on indications for use, technological characteristics, and performance data from bench tests. It is not a study that proves the device meets specific acceptance criteria in the context of an AI/ML medical device.

Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information (acceptance criteria table, sample sizes for test/training sets, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, or ground truth details) because this document does not describe such a study for an AI/ML device.

Instead, the document focuses on:

  1. Bench testing: Physical tests conducted according to ISO 4049:2009 for properties like Depth of Cure, Conversion, Compressive Strength, Diametral Tensile Strength, Microhardness, Volume Shrinkage Stress, Water Absorption, and Solubility.
  2. Biocompatibility testing: Following ISO 10993-1:2009 and ISO 7405:2008.
  3. Comparison to predicate devices: Demonstrating similar indications for use and technological characteristics.

Here's a summary of what information is available related to performance and testing, but it does not fit the requested format for an AI/ML device study:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance: This document does not provide a table of acceptance criteria or specific numerical performance results for the listed physical tests. It only states that the device "was tested following" the ISO standards and that the data "evaluate the performance... in comparison with its predicates." The conclusion is that the device is "substantially equivalent" and "biocompatible and safe for its intended use."

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: Not applicable in the context of an AI/ML device test set. The document refers to "bench testing" of the "Bulk Fill Flowable Composite" itself. No specific sample sizes for these bench tests are mentioned, nor is data provenance in the sense of patient data.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable. Ground truth as typically understood for AI/ML performance evaluation (e.g., expert labels on images) is not relevant to this bench testing.

4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set: Not applicable.

5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance: Not applicable. This device is a dental material, not an AI/ML diagnostic or assistive tool.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.): For the physical properties, the "ground truth" would be the standard scientific measurements themselves as defined by the ISO 4049:2009 standard. For biocompatibility, it would be the results against the criteria in ISO 10993-1:2009 and ISO 7405:2008.

8. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. This device is not an AI/ML model that requires training data.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

  • Base under Class I and II direct restorations
  • Liner under direct restorative materials
  • Class III and V restorations
  • Undercut Blockout

  • Tunnel preparations
  • Repair of small enamel defects
  • Repair of small defects in esthetic indirect restorations
  • Repair of resin and acrylic temporary materials

Technological Characteristics

The new Bulk Fill Flowable Composite resin system consists of 3 major components. The resin system was designed using our crosslinkable proprietary monomer DDCDMA (Dimer Dicarbamate Dimethacrylate). A system has been designed using DDCDMA where EBPADMA (Ethoxylated Bisphenol "A" Dimethacrylate) is the base resin and UDMA (Urethacrylate) is added as a minor component. This is similar to the resin system used in N'Durance, a Septodont Universal composite cleared by the FDA K072150.

This 3-component resin polymerizes using a modified initiating system The chemistry of this resin system results in low stress on the bond with the tooth and high conversion of monomers into polymers. Additionally, these resins impart a greater hydrophobicity and are less sensitive to changes in atmospheric moisture.

The filler system in the new Bulk Fill Flowable Composite contains Ytterbium Fluoride mono dispersed nano sized particles for dental application. Silica, as well as an acid resistant silanated Barium glass.

When irradiated by light, the methacrylate functionalities of the resins and fillers undergo, in conjunction with the photoinitiator system, a light-induced polymerization to form a hard composite that is bonded to the tooth structure with a permanent dental adhesive.

Substantial Equivalence:

Biocompatibility:

Bulk-Fill Flowable composite was tested following ISO 10993-1:2009 and ISO 7405:2008. The conclusion of the assessment is that the product is biocompatible and safe for its intended use.

Summary of Physical Tests

This 510(k) submission includes data from bench testing to evaluate the performance of Bulk Fill Flowable Composite in comparison with its predicates. The standard utilized was ISO 4049:2009. The properties that were tested include Depth of Cure, Conversion, Compressive Strength, Diametral Tensile Strength, Microhardness, Volume Shrinkage Stress, Water Absorption and Solubility.

Indications

Bulk Fill Flowable Composite has very similar indications as the claimed predicate devices Venus Diamond Flowable Composite (K091635), Filtek Bulk Fill (K120453) and X-Tra Base VOCO (K123773). Specifically, Bulk Fill Flowable Composite and Filtek Bulk Fill (K120453) are very similar in their indications, with the main difference being that Filtek Bulk Fill also includes Pit and Fissure and Core build-up indications.

Technology

The delivery and curing methods for the predicate devices are similar to that of Bulk Fill Flowable composite as well. They are all flowable composites which are applied directly to the site from a syringe or single unit dose tips. Additionally, all of these devices polymerize when irradiated by light to form a hard composite that is bonded to the tooth structure with a permanent dental adhesive.

Conclusion:

Information provided in this 510(k) submission shows that Bulk Fill Flowable Composite is substantially equivalent to the identified predicate devices in terms of intended use, indications for use, physical properties and technological characteristics. In addition to being substantially equivalent, the Bulk Fill Flowable Composite has also been determined to be biocompatible and safe for its intended use.
