Device Description
GRADIA PLUS is a dental composite consisting of cross-linked polymeric material reinforced by a dispersion of filler particles bonded to the resin matrix. The product contains a photo initiator to allow for curing/conversion. The end result is a conversion from a paste to a hard solid material. GRADIA PLUS is composed of 4 types of pastes, such as Opaque paste, Gum shade paste and Lustre paint. Opaque paste is used for masking the metal color. Body paste has two different consistencies. Paste HB and Paste LB. Both pastes can be used for creating several types of anterior or posterior restorations. There are several shades for dentin shade, Enamel shade and effect shade. The dentin layers have an enhanced brightness and masking ability that adjusts the opalescence of the composites. This gives a bright color tone in the oral cavity and eliminates unnatural translucency at the incisal edge. In addition, it has several red colors as a Gum shade paste with different transparency and color tone for reproducing of gingival tissue over crown. Lustre Paint is used for staining, characterizing and coating. The device is used for crown and bridgework with metal backing, jacket crowns, inlays, veneers, implant super structures and reproduction of gum tissue for crown restorations. In particular, Gradia Plus is intended to fabricate the tertiary element/exostructure of the implant superstructure, such as crown and bridges. GRADIA PLUS is filled in a syringe and is available in 73 shades.
More Information

No
The device description focuses on the material composition and physical properties of a dental composite, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

No
The device is a dental composite material used for fabricating restorations such as crowns, bridges, and veneers. It is a material used in the creation of a medical device, not a therapeutic device itself.

No
The device, GRADIA PLUS, is a dental composite used for fabricating restorations such as crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, and veneers. It is a material used in the construction and repair of teeth and gum tissue, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a dental composite material, which is a physical substance, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: GRADIA PLUS is a dental composite material used for fabricating dental restorations (crowns, bridges, veneers, etc.) and reproducing gum tissue. It is a material that is applied and cured to form a physical structure within the oral cavity.
  • Intended Use: The intended uses listed are all related to the physical restoration and reconstruction of teeth and gum tissue, not the analysis of biological samples for diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Description: The description details the composition and physical properties of the composite material, not a diagnostic test or assay.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the material's physical properties and adherence to dental material standards (ISO 10477), not on diagnostic accuracy metrics like sensitivity or specificity.

In summary, GRADIA PLUS is a dental restorative material used for fabrication, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples. Therefore, it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

4. Description of Device:

GRADIA PLUS is a dental composite consisting of cross-linked polymeric material reinforced by a dispersion of filler particles bonded to the resin matrix. The product contains a photo initiator to allow for curing/conversion. The end result is a conversion from a paste to a hard solid material.

GRADIA PLUS is composed of 4 types of pastes, such as Opaque paste, Gum shade paste and Lustre paint.

Opaque paste is used for masking the metal color.

Body paste has two different consistencies. Paste HB and Paste LB. Both pastes can be used for creating several types of anterior or posterior restorations. There are several shades for dentin shade, Enamel shade and effect shade. The dentin layers have an enhanced brightness and masking ability that adjusts the opalescence of the composites. This gives a bright color tone in the oral cavity and eliminates unnatural translucency at the incisal edge.

In addition, it has several red colors as a Gum shade paste with different transparency and color tone for reproducing of gingival tissue over crown.

Lustre Paint is used for staining, characterizing and coating.

The device is used for crown and bridgework with metal backing, jacket crowns, inlays, veneers, implant super structures and reproduction of gum tissue for crown restorations. In particular, Gradia Plus is intended to fabricate the tertiary element/exostructure of the implant superstructure, such as crown and bridges.

GRADIA PLUS is filled in a syringe and is available in 73shades: HB-DA1, HB-DA3, HB-DA3.5, HB-DB1, HB-DB3, HB-DC3, HB-DD2, HB-DW, HB-ODA, HB-ODB, HB-ODC, HB-ODD, HB-ODW, HB-EL, HB-ED, HB-CLF, HB-PE, LB-BaseD, LB-BaseCLF, LB-BaseCLF, LB-BaseOD, LB-BaseOpal, LB-DW, LB-Orange, LB-Red, LB-Yellow, LB-Blue, LB-Grey, LB-Milky, LB-Inlay E, LB-Inlay TD, LB-A, LB-B, LB-C, LB-D, LB-W, GLB-1, GLB-2, GLB-3, GLB-CL, GHB-1, GHB-2, GHB-3, GHB-CL, O-BASE, OA, OB, OC, OD, OA1, OA2, OA3, OA3.5, OB1, OB3, OC3, OD2, GO-1, GO-2, LP-A, LP-B, LP-C, LP-D, LP-CLF, LP-Blue, LP-Cream, LP-Grey, LP-Lavender, GLP-Bright red, GLP-Violet, LP-CL

    1. Shelf Life Evaluation and Storage Conditions:
    • Shelf Life 3 years
    • Recommended for optimal performance, store in a cool place (4-25℃ / 39.2-77.0 °F) away from high temperatures of direct sunlight.
    1. Indications for Use:
      1. Crown and Bridgework (with metal backing)
      1. Metal free restorations: Jacket Crowns, Inlays, Onlays and Laminated Veneers
      1. Implant superstructures
      1. Reproduction of gum tissue for crown restorations
    1. Technological characteristics:

All the components of the applicant device, GRADIA PLUS, have already been used in the predicate devices. GRADIA PLUS contains ultra-fine barium glass and pre-polymerized filler which exhibit wear resistance and gloss retention. The applicant device also shows equivalence in flexural strength, water sorption and solubility, which indicate the stability of materials in oral environment. The curing mechanism of the predicates and GRADIA PLUS is polymerization of uncured methacrylate ester monomers. This reaction is caused by photo initiator system.

10. Substantial equivalence

The curing mechanism of the new and predicate devices is substantially equivalent in principle. Therefore, the applicant and primary predicate device are the same in function, and similar in composition and intended use. This supports that the compatibility of the applicant device is substantially equivalent to the primary predicate device.

11. Differences

  • The following differences may be noted between the predicate device and GRADIA PLUS:
  • GRADIA PLUS is available in 73 shades ●
  • GRADIA PLUS is available in 5 types of paste: Paste HB, Paste LB, Gum Shade LB, Opaque, ● Lustre Paint (Stain)
  • GRADIA PLUS is used for crown and bridgework with metal backing, jacket crowns, inlays, ● onlays, veneers, implant super structures and reproduction of gum tissue for crown restorations. The difference is that Gradia is not indicated for shade reproduction of gum tissue. However, this indication is found in Gradia Gum, K033808.
  • . Applicant device requires coating or polishing as a surface finish. Gradia requires only polishing and Optiglaze Color requires only Coating.
  • Gradia uses light-cured hybrid fillers, while Gradia Plus uses light-cured nano fillers. .
  • . Gradia Plus has improved surface gloss which utilizes coating and polishing versus primary predicate only requiring polishing.
