The mechanism of action is for the subject and predicate devices is setting of the inorganic, ceramic cement in the presence of the water-based body fluids present in teeth.
MTA2.3 ROOT & PULP MATERIALS were developed in 2 forms (designs): powder with water-based gel, and pastes. The dentist may choose to mix the powder and water-based gel of MTA2.3 (design 1), or choose to use a paste form of MTA2.3 (design 2). The MTA2.3 ROOT & PULP MATERIALS are placed in the space created by the procedure and set in vivo. The procedure may be part of caries treatment, root canal treatment, or periapical surgery. Such procedures are performed on primary and secondary dentition. MTA2.3 ROOT & PULP MATERIALS may be white or tinted vellow, pink or grav. MTA2.3 ROOT & PULP MATERIALS are color stable over time.
V. INDICATIONS FOR USE:
The MTA2.3 ROOT & PULP MATERIALS are intended for dental procedures that contact pulp and periradicular tissues, as well as obturation and sealing of root canals.
These indications are identical to the predicate K161239, MTA2.2 MATERIAL.
VI. COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICES
TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS: The MTA2.3 ROOT & PULP MATERIALS are primarily hydraulic ceramic powders, as is the MTA2.2 MATERIAL (K161239). The ceramic powders set in vivo in contact with body fluids. The technology is unchanged.
The hydrophilic ceramic powders are known to set with water into a hard substance, containing a high pH, calcium hydroxide reaction product, dispersed among the hydrated particles of tri/dicalcium silicates. Both the predicate and the subject materials are radiopaque and contain the same ceramic oxide for radiopacity.
COMPARISONS TO PREDICATE: We believe the MTA2.3 ROOT & PULP MATERIALS are substantially equivalent to the MTA2.2 material (K161239) when used for contact with pulp tissue and periapical tissue, as well as obturation and sealing of root canals.
The modifications to the predicate MTA2.2 material (K161239) are an increase in the radiopaque component, and modified liquids for the convenience delivery into the tooth by the clinician. These modifications do not change the intended use, indications for use, or technological characteristics. The modifications do not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness.
Similarities: The predicate MTA2.2 material and the modified MTA2.3 ROOT & PULP MATERIALS are based on the inorganic ceramic powders composed of primarily tricalcium silicate, dicalcium silicate, and tantalite for radiopacity. The predicate and the MTA2.3 ROOT & PULP MATERIALS rely on water-based fluids in the body to hydrate the hydraulic ceramic phases, and cause setting into a hard substance containing hydrated silicates and hydroxides. MTA2.3 ROOT & PULP MATERIALS may contain the same inorganic ceramic pigments, at minor levels, as were cleared for MTA2.2 materials.
Premarket Notification

Both the MTA2.3 ROOT & PULP MATERIALS and the predicate MTA2.2 material are similar because they are:
- o ceramic cements,
- used in root canals or on vital pulp tissue O
- used for sealing and obturation of root canals O
- suitable for use in primary dentition for pulpal treatment O
- are based on ceramic powders that set with water O
- are radiopaque O
- do not discolor o
- set in vivo with contact with water-based body fluids. o
The new and predicate materials have similar compositions and properties. Both MTA2.3 ROOT & PULP MATERIALS and the predicate MTA2.2 material create a high pH environment, which induces the precipitation of hydroxyapatite-like crystals in synthetic body fluid when the tri/dicalcium silicate powder component is hydrated.
Differences: MTA2.3 ROOT & PULP MATERIALS are more radiopaque than MTA2.2 material.
MTA2.3 ROOT & PULP MATERIALS may be packaged with a modified water-based liquid for mixing, or premixed with an organic liquid.
The similarities and differences are summarized in Table VI-1. Two design modifications are being submitted. The two designs are described in Table VI-2.

VII. PERFORMANCE DATA
NON-CLINICAL PERFORMANCE: Bench testing of the physical properties of the MTA2.3 ROOT AND PULP MATERIALS was performed to verify conformance to ISO 6876, ADA 57, and ISO 9917-1, as they apply. We believe that the performance data provided herein demonstrate that MTA2.3 ROOT AND PULP MATERIALS are substantially equivalent to the predicate MTA2.2 material (K161239) in design, principle of performance, technology, and composition. We believe the MTA2.3 ROOT & PULP MATERIALS perform as well as or better than the predicate device.
As part of design validation, MTA2.3 ROOT & PULP MATERIALS met the ISO 6876 standard for radiopacity, solubility, dimensional stability, film thickness, and flow. The ISO 6876 tests were also performed to measure the working time and setting time of MTA2.3 ROOT & PULP MATERIALS. Tests for arsenic and lead were performed to ensure conformance to ISO 9917-1 requirements. We believe that the performance data provided herein demonstrate that MTA2.3 ROOT AND PULP MATERIALS are substantially equivalent to the predicate MTA2.2 material (K161239) in design, principle of performance, technology, and composition. We believe the MTA2.3 ROOT & PULP MATERIALS perform as well as or better than the predicate device.
BIOCOMPATIBILITY: The MTA2.3 ROOT & PULP MATERIALS were evaluated for biocompatibility as part of design validation. The materials were not cytotoxic. See Appendix C and Section 16.
CLINICAL PERFORMANCE: No animal or human clinical tests were performed in the development of the MTA2.3 ROOT & PULP MATERIALS.
MTA2.3 ROOT & PULP MATERIALS have a similar composition to the predicate device. All of the components found in the MTA2.3 ROOT & PULP MATERIALS have been used in legally marketed devices.
VIII. CONCLUSIONS
No substantial differences in terms of technology are known between the MTA2.3 ROOT & PULP MATERIALS and the predicate device. The main difference in the modified material is additional radiopaque component. Secondary differences include a modified gel for one design, and use of an organic liquid in the second design. The compositional changes do not raise any new issues of risk, safety and effectiveness. Therefore, we believe that the information provided herein demonstrates that the MTA2.3 ROOT & PULP MATERIALS are substantially equivalent to the predicate device in technology, design, principles of performance, and intended use.
