TempoCem Clear is indicated for: - · Temporary or semipermanent luting of temporary and permanent crowns, bridges, inlays and onlays. - · Temporary luting of temporary veneers. - · Temporary or semipermanent luting of implant-borne dental prosthesis.
Device Description
TempoCem Clear is a transparent, dual-curing, resin-based dental cement for the temporary or semipermanent cementing of provisional resin-based composite restorations (crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, veneers) to a tooth and for temporary or semipermanent luting to an implant abutment. The cement consists of two pastes (base and catalyst) packaged in a double-barreled plastic syringe. The pastes are automatically mixed when dispensed through the single-use mixing tips supplied with the device.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical and chemical properties of a dental cement, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is a dental cement used for temporary or semipermanent luting of dental prostheses and does not directly treat or prevent a disease or condition.

No

Explanation: The device is a dental cement used for temporary or semipermanent luting of dental prostheses. Its function is to hold things in place, not to diagnose a condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "resin-based dental cement" consisting of "two pastes (base and catalyst) packaged in a double-barreled plastic syringe," which are physical components, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use of TempoCem Clear is for the temporary or semipermanent luting (cementing) of dental restorations and prostheses to teeth or implant abutments. This is a direct application within the body (or on a structure directly connected to the body), not for examining specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.
  • Device Description: The device is a dental cement, a material used to physically bond dental structures. This aligns with a therapeutic or restorative purpose, not a diagnostic one.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze biological samples, detect markers, or provide any information for diagnostic purposes.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on physical and mechanical properties relevant to a dental cement (solubility, strength, setting time, etc.) and biocompatibility, which are typical evaluations for devices used in the body. They do not involve evaluating diagnostic accuracy or performance on biological specimens.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples like blood, urine, tissue, etc., to provide information about a person's health status. TempoCem Clear does not fit this description.

TempoCem Clear is similar to the predicate device Telio CS Link in that they are both automixing, transparent, dual-curing temporary resin dental cements to be used for cementing restorations such as crowns, bridges, inlays and onlays. The devices have substantially equivalent physical and mechanical properties.

TempoCem Clear is different from the predicate device in that it contains sodium fluoride. The subject and predicate devices have slightly different Indications for Use language. The Indications for Use for Telio CS Link do not mention, but do not exclude, the use for specific restorations (temporary and permanent crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, and veneers). The Intended Use for Telio CS Link as presented in the K042846 Summary was: "For the temporary cementation of temporary inlays, onlays, partial crowns, crowns or bridges." The differences in the Indications for Use affect neither the Intended Use nor substantial equivalence.

The reference predicate device, Telio CS Cem Implant, has the same FDA Product Code (EMA= Dental cement) as TempoCem Clear. Telio CS Cem Implant is a selfcuring resin cement with lightcuring option for the esthetic, temporary, reversible / semi-permanent cementation of restorations on implant abutments. The Indications for Use for Telio CS Cem Implant ("Reversible/semi-permanent cementation of longterm temporary and permanent restorations on implant abutments") are similar to the specific Indication for Use for TempoCem Clear ("Temporary or semipermanent luting of implant-borne dental prosthesis."). The composition of Telio CS Cem Implant (bismethacrylates (approx. 52 %wt.) and fillers (approx. 46 %wt.). Initiators, stabilizers, auxiliaries and piqments are additional components.) is substantially equivalent to TempoCem Clear. Thus TempoCem Clear is similar to the reference predicate Telio CS Cem Implant in composition, curing and indications.

7. Non-Clinical Performance Data

Physical and mechanical properties of TempoCem Clear were investigated and compared to the predicate device in accordance with FDA's 1998 Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff: Dental Cements - Premarket Notification (chemistry of the

6

setting reaction, working and setting times, solubility, dimensional change, bonding strength, film thickness, heat generated during setting and biocompatibility), Comparative data relevant for temporary, dual-curing cements demonstrate substantial equivalence of TempoCem Clear to the predicate device, Telio CS Link.

The biocompatibility testing was performed according to the FDA 1998 Guidance and the following consensus standard:

  • ISO Standard 7405 Second edition (2008): Dentistry Evaluation of biocompatibility of medical devices used in dentistry
    Equivalence in biocompatibility to the predicate device was demonstrated in cytotoxicity studies.

In addition, TempoCem Clear can be compared to other currently marketed dental products also manufactured by DMG: Luxatemp Ultra (K101710), Luxatemp / Luxatemp-Solar (K013674) and Luxatemp Automix (K924830). These dual-cure or auto-cure devices are not temporary cements, but have many similarities in curing mechanism and composition with TempoCem Clear. For example, the same auto-cure system and many of the same resin and pigment components are used in TempoCem Clear. The Luxatemp products have been marketed world-wide for over 25 years, and there is considerable clinical experience with these products and their components. This experience provides further evidence for the biocompatibility of the materials in TempoCem Clear.

8. Clinical Performance Data

Not applicable. Clinical performance testing has not been performed for the proposed device.

9. Conclusions

.

Based on the device Indications for Use, composition and physical / mechanical properties, TempoCem Clear has been shown to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
