The device description focuses on the material composition and manufacturing process of dental zirconia blocks used with CAD/CAM technology. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any software-based analysis that would typically involve these technologies. The performance studies are based on material properties and biocompatibility, not algorithmic performance.
No
The device is a material (zirconia blocks) used to fabricate dental restorations, not a device that directly provides therapy or treatment to a patient. Its function is to be processed into a medical device (dental restoration).
No
The device is a material (zirconia blocks) used to fabricate dental restorations, not to diagnose a medical condition. Its intended use is for producing dental prosthetics, as prescribed by a dentist.
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical product (zirconia blocks) used with CAD/CAM technology, not a software-only device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to produce dental restorations (crowns, bridges, inlays, veneers) using CAD/CAM technology. This is a manufacturing process for a medical device that is implanted or placed in the body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body to diagnose a condition.
- Device Description: The device is a material (zirconia blocks) used to create dental prosthetics. It's a raw material for a medical device, not a diagnostic test kit or instrument.
- Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze a biological sample (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or provide information about a patient's health status or disease.
- Bench Testing: The performance studies focus on the material properties and biocompatibility of the zirconia blocks, which are relevant for a dental prosthetic material, not for a diagnostic test.
IVD devices are specifically designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.

Device Description
New Century All-Ceramic Dental Zirconia Blocks (Un-Shaded) are derived from Zirconia powder that has been processed into their final net shapes. These blanks are then further fabricated into all-ceramic restorations such as crowns, bridges, veneers, inlay/ onlay. The zirconia powder is composed of ZrO2 + Y2O3 + HfO2 + A12O2. The performance of the dental blanks conforms to ISO 6872: 2008, Dentistry: Ceramic Materials. The shading effects of New Century All-Ceramic Dental Zirconia Blocks (Pre-Shaded) are achieved by blending different zirconia powder material, all from the same supplier; have almost identical composition, differing only in the trace amount of inorganic pigments to achieve the shading effects in dental blanks. The performance of the preshaded dental zirconia blanks also conforms to ISO 6872, Dentistry: Ceramic Materials.

|---------|--------------------------------------------------|-------------|
| Sterile | Non-sterile | Non-sterile |
Our device is highly similar to the predicate device in terms of indications for use, design, material, and work flow to fabricate dental restorations. Our device is different from the predicate device in the following:
- The subject device has blocks, disc, and rod, while the predicate device only has (1) blocks. This difference does not raise any safety or efficacy concerns for two reasons: First, the initial product shape does not matter because they are going to be milled into the final shape before patient use. Secondly, the dental zirconia blanks are known to have multiple different shapes, including blocks, discs, and rods, such as described in K141724 by Liaoning Upcera Company Limited.
- (2) The sintering temperature is about 1500 ℃ for the subject device, while this information is not publicly available for the predicate device. This difference does not raise any safety or efficacy concerns as the sintering temperature mainly affects the physical and mechanical property of the dental blanks. Both the subject and predicate device have similar physical/mechanical properties that met the requirements of ISO 6872.
- (3) The subject has both non-shaded and pre-shaded blanks, while the predicate device has only the pre-shaded series. This difference does not raise any safety or efficacy concerns because there are many non-shaded zirconia blanks on the market, such as described in K141724 by Liaoning Upcera Company Limited.
Conclusion
In conclusion, based on the indications for use, technology and non-clinical performance testing, New Century All-Ceramic Dentistry Zirconia Blocks (Un-Shaded and Pre-Shaded) are substantially equivalent to K140070 Luxer Shaded Zirconia.
