Intended Use
CEREC Guides are intended to support the dentist or oral surgeon when drilling for placement of dental implants. CEREC Guides are intended to be designed and fabricated using the Sirona Dental CAD/CAM System's CEREC Chairside software and CAM equipment, Galileos Implant dental implant planning software, and Calibra Universal Self-Adhesive Resin Cement.
Device Description
The CEREC Guide dental surgical guides are milled poly(methyl methacrylate) [PMMA] devices which are designed and fabricated utilizing the Sirona Dental CAD/CAM System with CEREC Chairside Software (K181520) and are intended to act only as dental implant placement templates. The CEREC Guides are designed in the Sirona Dental CAD/CAM System's CEREC Chairside Software utilizing, as an input, a completed dental implant treatment plan which is developed in the "Galileos Implant treatment planning software as cleared under premarket notification K093090. The CEREC Guide surgical guides are offered in two variants, the CEREC Guide 2 and CEREC Guide 3. Both the CEREC Guide 2 and CEREC Guide 3 are milled from the CEREC Guide Bloc milling blocks. The CEREC Guide Blocs are clear, PMMA blocks intended for milling utilizing the CEREC MC XL family of milling units. CEREC Guide Blocs are offered in two size variants, "medi" and "maxi". The CEREC Guide 2 surgical guides consist of the surgical guide body milled from the CEREC Guide Bloc PMMA milling blocks. The CEREC Guide 2 surgical guides are used in conjunction with CEREC Guide Drill Keys. CEREC Guide Drill Keys are stainless steel, reusable drill guide instruments which are offered in variants with internal diameters ranging from 2.0 mm to 4.85 mm. The CEREC Guide 3 surgical guides consist of the CAD/CAM surgical guide body milled from the CEREC Guide Bloc PMMA milling blocks. CEREC Guide 3 surgical guides feature integral titanium guide sleeves that are bonded the CEREC Guide 3 surgical guide body using Dentsply Sirona Calibra® Universal adhesive (K073173). The CEREC Guide 3 Guide Sleeves are single use and are offered in 4 size variants, with outer diameters ranging from 5.5 mm to 6.0 mm, and internal diameters ranging from 4.48 mm - 5.2 mm.
More Information

No
The summary describes a physical surgical guide milled from PMMA, designed using existing CAD/CAM and implant planning software. There is no mention of AI or ML being used in the design process or the device itself. The software mentioned (CEREC Chairside and Galileos Implant) are described as standard CAD/CAM and planning tools, not AI/ML-driven systems.

Yes
The device is a dental surgical guide intended to support dentists during drilling for dental implant placement, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No

Explanation: The device, CEREC Guide surgical guides, is intended to support dentists during drilling for dental implant placement. It acts as a template for surgical procedures based on a pre-existing treatment plan, rather than providing a diagnosis or diagnostic information.

No

The device description explicitly states that the CEREC Guide dental surgical guides are "milled poly(methyl methacrylate) [PMMA] devices" and also mentions "integral titanium guide sleeves". These are physical components, not software. While software is used in the design and fabrication process, the final medical device is a physical object.

Based on the provided text, the CEREC Guides are not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the CEREC Guides are "intended to support the dentist or oral surgeon when drilling for placement of dental implants." This describes a surgical aid used in vivo (within the body) during a procedure, not a device used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens from the body for diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical device (milled PMMA) used as a "dental implant placement template." This further reinforces its role as a surgical tool.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The text does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing diagnostic information about a patient's health condition
    • Using reagents or assays

The CEREC Guides are a surgical planning and execution aid, falling under the category of medical devices used in dental procedures.
