LuxaCrown is a self-curing composite for the fabrication of semi-permanent crowns and bridges. The material is mixed automatically. Specifically: Crown restorations: For restoration of the anatomical form in order to provide durable protection for the remaining tooth; In order to restore chewing function; For esthetic corrections. Bridge restorations: In order to restore chewing function; For esthetic corrections.
LuxaCrown is a bis-acrylic resin-based self-curing composite for the fabrication of semipermanent crowns and bridges. LuxaCrown is available in a range of shades to ensure an aesthetically-pleasing restoration. LuxaCrown is a non-sterile device intended for use by licensed dental professionals. Because LuxaCrown is intended for the fabrication of semi-permanent dental restorations, it may remain in the oral cavity for more than 30 days. LuxaCrown is supplied in dual-barreled syringes for use with the DMG Automix selfmixing dispenser and Automix Tips, which were previously cleared in K101710 (DMG LuxaTemp Ultra), K013674 (DMG LuxaTemp) and K924830 (DMG LuxaTemp Automix).
The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for a dental material called LuxaCrown, a self-curing composite for fabricating semi-permanent crowns and bridges. The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices based on indications for use, technical specifications, biocompatibility, and physical properties.
However, the document does not contain any information about acceptance criteria or a study that specifically proves the device meets those criteria in the format requested. The "Discussion of Non-Clinical Tests" section mentions various tests performed (ISO 10447, internal DMG methods, biocompatibility testing) and states that "All samples met the requirements of internal product specifications and were within the limits specified in ISO 10477." This indicates that there are internal specifications and ISO limits, but the document does not list them as "acceptance criteria" in a table or provide detailed study results that meticulously "prove" the device meets them with specific performance metrics beyond a general statement of compliance.
Therefore, many of the requested fields cannot be filled from the provided text.
Here's a breakdown of what can and cannot be extracted:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
The document states: "All samples met the requirements of internal product specifications and were within the limits specified in ISO 10477." However, it does not provide the specific numerical acceptance criteria nor detailed reported performance data in a tabular format. It only lists the types of tests conducted.
2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
- Sample Size for Test Set: Not specified for any of the tests mentioned (flexural strength, water sorption, water solubility, working time, setting time, compressive strength, biocompatibility, shelf life).
- Data Provenance: The tests were performed by DMG Chemisch-Pharmazeutische Fabrik GmbH, which is a German company (Hamburg, Germany). It's implied these are laboratory tests, not clinical studies with human data, so "retrospective or prospective" is not fully applicable in the conventional sense for patient data.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)
This question is not applicable. The tests are for physical and chemical properties of a material, not for diagnostic accuracy or human interpretation requiring expert consensus.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
Not applicable, as there's no human interpretation or ground truth establishment in this context.
5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
Not applicable. This is a material science and biocompatibility assessment, not a study involving human readers or AI assistance.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Not applicable. This is a material science assessment.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
For the physical and chemical tests, the "ground truth" is established by the specified standards (ISO 10447, ISO 10993-3, -5, -10, ASTM F1980) and the manufacturer's internal product specifications. For biocompatibility, it's compliance with established biological safety requirements.
8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable. This is not a machine learning or AI-based device.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable. This is not a machine learning or AI-based device.

Device Description
LuxaCrown is a bis-acrylic resin-based self-curing composite for the fabrication of semipermanent crowns and bridges. LuxaCrown is available in a range of shades to ensure an aesthetically-pleasing restoration. LuxaCrown is a non-sterile device intended for use by licensed dental professionals. Because LuxaCrown is intended for the fabrication of semi-permanent dental restorations, it may remain in the oral cavity for more than 30 days.
LuxaCrown is supplied in dual-barreled syringes for use with the DMG Automix selfmixing dispenser and Automix Tips, which were previously cleared in K101710 (DMG LuxaTemp Ultra), K013674 (DMG LuxaTemp) and K924830 (DMG LuxaTemp Automix).
Indications for Use
LuxaCrown is indicated for use for the fabrication of semi-permanent crowns and bridges The LuxaCrown indications for use statement lists the following examples of specific uses:
Crown restorations:
- · For restoration of the anatomical form in order to provide durable protection for the remaining tooth
- In order to restore chewing function
- · For esthetic corrections
{5}------------------------------------------------
Bridge restorations:
- In order to restore chewing function
- · For esthetic corrections
The indications for use statement for the predicate Zirkonzahn products cleared in K 180562 (Temp Premium, Temp Premium Flexible, Multistratum Flexible and Therapon) are very similar:
The resin discs TEMP PREMIUM, TEMP PREMIUM FLEXIBLE, MULTISTRATUM FLEXIBLE and THERAPON are polymethylmethacrylate and polycarbonate discs indicated to manufacture temporary anterior and posterior crowns and bridges, with up to two adjacent pontics, that can be kept in the mouth for up to 12 months.
Differences between the LuxaCrown and the predicate device indications for use, and the justification for each of these differences, are as follows:
-
- LuxaCrown is not supplied in the form of resin discs. The "Product Description" section of the LuxaCrown IFU states that LuxaCrown is an automatically mixed, self-curing composite; therefore, it is not necessary to identify the physical form of the product in the indications statement. Also, as demonstrated through testing based on ISO 10447, despite differences in raw materials and physical form, LuxaCrown and the predicate devices are equivalent in terms of physical properties supporting the devices' ability to perform as intended. The 3M ESPE Protemp Plus reference device (K073296) is an example of a legally marketed product with a composition very similar to that of LuxaCrown, with very similar indications for use.
-
- The LuxaCrown indications for use do not mention "anterior and posterior" crowns and bridges. This is a wording difference only; by not specifying "anterior and posterior" it is clear that LuxaCrown can be used for both anterior and posterior applications.
- The predicate Zirkonzahn TEMP PREMIUM, TEMP PREMIUM FLEXIBLE, 3. MULTISTRATUM FLEXIBLE and THERAPON indications specify a maximum of two adjacent pontics for restorations fabricated with the devices cleared in K180562. The equivalent information is contained in the LuxaCrown instructions for use, which include the following Contraindication: "Do not use this material for bridges with more than two adjacent pontics".
-
- The examples of LuxaCrown uses for crowns ("for restoration of the anatomical form in order to provide durable protection for the remaining tooth", "in order to restore chewing function" and "for esthetic corrections") and bridges ("in order to restore chewing function" and "for esthetic corrections") are standard dental
{6}------------------------------------------------
terminology that apply generally to all crowns and bridges; therefore, these statements do not differ from the general indications statement contained in the predicate device labeling.
-
- LuxaCrown refers to the fabrication of "semi-permanent" crowns and bridges; the predicate Zirkonzahn indications specify "a maximum recommended usage time of 12 months". The 3M ESPE ProTemp Plus reference device (K073296) indications refer to the fabrication of "long-lasting temporary" restorations. The terms "semi-permanent" and "long-lasting" have no specific definition in dentistry other than to signal an acceptable period of use beyond the interval ranging from several days to several weeks typically indicated by the descriptor "short-term", or even by the word "temporary" alone. DMG has provided test data collected in a chewing simulator to demonstrate that crowns made from LuxaTemp survive cyclic loading for the equivalent of > 5 years. Therefore, this difference in terminology is supported by laboratory testing.
Discussion of Non-Clinical Tests
LuxaCrown was tested in accordance with ISO 10447:2004 to determine physical characteristics such as flexural strength, water sorption and water solubility. Internal DMG test methods were used to test other characteristics not addressed in ISO 10477 (working time, setting time, compressive strength). The results of these tests were compared to the DMG product specification for LuxaCrown, and to data for the primary predicate and reference devices. All samples met the requirements of internal product specifications and were within the limits specified in ISO 10477.
A biocompatibility assessment documented for LuxaCrown established that the product meets the requirements of ISO 10993-1:2009 and ISO 7404:2008 with respect to biocompatibility. The LuxaTemp biocompatibility assessment was supported by biocompatibility testing conducted in accordance with ISO 10993-3 (mutagenicity), ISO 10993-5 cytotoxicity) and ISO 10993-10 (sensitization/irritation). LuxaCrown was determined to meet all biocompatibility requirements for dental materials.
Testing was performed to support the 2-year shelf life of LuxaCrown using device samples that were aged in accordance with the guidelines described in ASTM F1980. Physical properties (working time, setting time, flexural strength, compressive strength, fracture toughness, polymerization shrinkage, smear layer and peak polymerization temperature) of the aged samples were measured to confirm that the device continues to meet specifications with no significant degradation in physical properties at the end of the labeled shelf life. This testing demonstrated that LuxaCrown remains stable over the 2year product shelf life.
{7}------------------------------------------------
Conclusion
Based on a comparison of the device indications for use, technical specifications, biocompatibility and physical properties, LuxaCrown has been shown to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
