The summary describes a material (resin-modified calcium silicate) and its physical properties and intended uses. There is no mention of software, algorithms, data processing, or any characteristics typically associated with AI/ML.
No
The device is a restorative material used for various dental procedures, including repairing damaged dentin and root perforations. It functions as a material to facilitate healing and protection rather than directly providing a therapeutic effect like treating a disease or disorder.
No
TheraCal DC is described as a biocompatible, dual-cured, resin-modified calcium silicate used to treat damaged dentin and for various dental repair procedures. Its intended uses (pulpotomy, temporary filling, repair of perforations, root-end filling, pulp capping, and protective liner/base) are all therapeutic interventions, not diagnostic ones.
No
The device description clearly states that TheraCal DC is a "biocompatible, dual-cured, resin-modified calcium silicate," which is a physical material, not software. The performance studies also focus on physical and mechanical properties.
Based on the provided information, TheraCal DC is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended uses listed for TheraCal DC are all related to the treatment and repair of damaged dental tissue within the patient's body (in vivo). This includes procedures like pulpotomy, filling, repair of perforations, root-end filling, and pulp capping.
- Device Description: The description highlights its use to "treat damaged dentin in both the crown and the root," which is an in-vivo application.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue samples) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
IVD devices are specifically designed to be used outside the body to analyze biological samples. TheraCal DC is a material used inside the body for therapeutic and restorative purposes.

Device Description
TheraCal DC is a biocompatible, dual-cured, resin-modified calcium silicate that is used to treat damaged dentin in both the crown and the root. TheraCal DC's precise placement allows its use in all deep cavity preparations and endodontic repairs. The dual-cure set permits immediate placement and condensation of the restorative material. Its proprietary formulation allows for a command set with a light curing unit while maintaining ease of placement due to its thixotropic properties.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
The following physical/mechanical properties of TheraCal DC were tested: flexural strength (ISO 4049:2009), compressive strength (ANSI/ADA Spec. No. 27:1993 Appendix A2), dimetral tensile strength (in-house test method), working time (in-house test method), bond strength (inhouse test method), radiopacity (ISO 4049:2009), water sorption and solubility (ISO 4049:2009 and ISO 6876:2012), calcium release (in-house test method), and pH (in-house test method). An evaluation of biocompatibility of TheraCal DC was conducted using ISO 7405:2008 and ISO 10993-1:2009. Direct comparison testing demonstrates that TheraCal DC is similar to or greater than the predicate devices.
Key Results:
- Flexural Strength: TheraCal DC is greater than the predicate devices
- Dimetral Tensile Strength: TheraCal DC is greater than the predicate devices
- Working Time: Not compared to predicate devices; met the design control inputs
- Bond Strength: TheraCal DC shear bond strength is greater than the predicate devices
- Radiopacity: Meets the ISO requirements (1 mm of TheraCal DC > 1mm of alumina)
- Water Sorption & Solubility: TheraCal DC meets the ISO 4049 requirements for water sorption; TheraCal DC meets the ISO 6876 requirements for water solubility
- Calcium Release: TheraCal DC is equivalent to the predicate devices
- pH Testing: TheraCal DC is equivalent to the predicate devices

The difference in chemical composition as compared to the primary predicate is the addition of industry standard chemicals to make TheraCal DC dual-curable. A reference predicate has been provided that is also dual-cured (Activa).
Performance Data:
The following physical/mechanical properties of TheraCal DC were tested: flexural strength (ISO 4049:2009), compressive strength (ANSI/ADA Spec. No. 27:1993 Appendix A2), dimetral tensile strength (in-house test method), working time (in-house test method), bond strength (inhouse test method), radiopacity (ISO 4049:2009), water sorption and solubility (ISO 4049:2009 and ISO 6876:2012), calcium release (in-house test method), and pH (in-house test method). An evaluation of biocompatibility of TheraCal DC was conducted using ISO 7405:2008 and ISO 10993-1:2009. Direct comparison testing demonstrates that TheraCal DC is similar to or greater than the predicate devices.

It is concluded from the evaluation and the results of the cytotoxicity study that TheraCal DC meets the requirements of the testing.
Conclusion:
It is concluded that the information supplied in this submission has demonstrated that TheraCal DC is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate devices because:
- . The indications for use are the same to the listed predicates,
- . The chemical composition, method of application and method of polymerization is similar to the primary and reference predicate devices.
- . Physical properties are equivalent to the predicates.
- The requirements of the biological testing were met. ●
