Device Description

Visalys® Restorative Primer with adhesive monomers (10-MDP, silane methacrylate) is for building up adhesive surfaces on restoration materials (metal, composite, as well as silicate and oxide ceramics). Visalys® Restorative Primer is a single component primer. Do not light cure Visalys® Restorative Primer. BPA or BPA precursors are not used in the manufacturing process of this device.

AI/ML Overview

Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding the acceptance criteria and study for the Visalys® Restorative Primer device.

It's important to note that this document is a 510(k) summary for a Class II medical device (Resin Tooth Bonding Agent). For such devices, the FDA often relies on substantial equivalence to a predicate device, which means direct comparative effectiveness studies with human subjects against the predicate might not always be required in the same way as for novel high-risk devices. The information provided is primarily focused on demonstrating this substantial equivalence through bench testing.


1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

The acceptance criteria are implicitly derived from the bond strength values of the predicate device, CLEARFIL™ CERAMIC PRIMER PLUS (K150703). The study aims to show that Visalys® Restorative Primer performs similarly. No explicit "acceptance criteria" are stated as numerical thresholds; rather, the "Similar" conclusion in the table below serves as the acceptance.

Test Parameter / MaterialPredicate Device Performance (CLEARFIL™ CERAMIC PRIMER PLUS)Visalys® Restorative Primer PerformanceAcceptance Criteria (Implicit)Conclusion
Shear Bond Strength (MPa)Similar performance to predicate
Lithium disilicate(8.9 MPa)(10.2 MPa)Achieving comparable shear bond strengthSimilar
Zirconium oxide(8.4 MPa)(7.5 MPa)Achieving comparable shear bond strengthSimilar
Non-precious metal(8.3 MPa)(12.5 MPa)Achieving comparable shear bond strengthSimilar

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: The document does not explicitly state the number of samples or specimens used for the shear bond strength tests. It only lists the resulting bond strength values.
  • Data Provenance: The study was conducted by Kettenbach GmbH & Co. KG (located in Eschenburg, Germany). The data is prospective as it involves new bench testing to support the 510(k) submission.

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)

Not applicable. This device is a dental primer, and the ground truth for its performance (shear bond strength) is established through in vitro bench testing according to a recognized standard (ISO 16506). This does not involve human expert adjudication of images or clinical outcomes.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

Not applicable, as the evaluation is based on objective physical measurements (shear bond strength) from bench tests, not on subjective expert consensus or adjudication.

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 device is a dental primer, not an AI-based diagnostic tool. No MRMC study was conducted.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

Not applicable. This device is a dental primer, not an algorithm. The performance evaluation presented is strictly standalone in vitro bench testing of the product's physical properties.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

The ground truth for the device's performance is established by objective physical measurements (shear bond strength) obtained through standardized in vitro bench testing adhering to relevant ISO standards (specifically, ISO 16506 Chapter A 2.2.5).

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. This is a physical dental product, not a machine learning model. Therefore, there is no "training set."

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

Not applicable, as there is no training set for this type of device.

G. Technological Characteristics Summary:

Visalys® Restorative Primer is considered substantially equivalent to Clearfil Ceramic Primer Plus. There is no significant difference in intended use or technology. Therefore Visalys® Restorative Primer is substantially equivalent to the above listed predicate device. Differences in respect to chemical composition and resulting mechanical and physical properties have been evaluated.

H. Summary of Non-Clinical Performance Testing:

The following in vitro bench tests were performed on the Visalys® Restorative Primer to verify physical properties and performance in support of substantial equivalence:

  • . Shear Bond strength on restorative materials acc. to ISO 16506 "Dentistry -Polymer-based luting materials containing adhesive component shear bond strength test" (Chapter A 2.2.5).
    The performance of the Visalys® Restorative Primer satisfactorily met the requirements of the non-clinical bench testing conducted to support substantial equivalence.

Biocompatibility tests have been performed to assure biological safety in accordance with the ISO 10993 family and ISO 7405. Tests in respect of cytotoxicity (ISO 10993-5), mutagenicity (OECD 487), sensitization (ISO 10993-10) and a chemical analysis (10993-18) showed, that Visalys® Restorative Primer, universal adhesion primer for restoration materials biocompatibility data is comparable or superior to the predicate device. Therefore no toxicological risks and resulting hazards for patients, users and third parties can be concluded.

Rationale for using ISO 16506 (Chapter A 2.2.5) as test standard

The Medical Device Product Classification for the stated product is KLE (Agent, Tooth Bonding, Resin). However, the stated product Visalys® Restorative Primer acts as a coupling agent between restoration material (e.g. ceramics, metals) and luting material (e.g. Visalys® CemCore) and not between luting material and tooth structure. For the later indication, Visalys® Tooth Primer can be used. The recognized test standards ISO 29022 and ISO/TS 11405 as well as ISO/TS 16506 describe different bonding strength measurements. Unfortunately, all three standards only show methods to determine bond strength to tooth structure. As no product-specific standard exists for the subject device, testing was conducted under ISO/TS 16506 due to the following reason:

Shear bond strength is described in ISO 29022 and in ISO/TS 16506. The main difference is the loading of the test specimen after application of the luting material in ISO/TS 16506 (force of 150 N ± 2N, Ch 7.5.1.2), whereas no force is applied in the test method described in ISO 29022. Visalys® Restorative Primer is used on restorations such as crowns, bridges, inlays and onlays. After applying a luting material on the restoration, it is placed in the patient's mouth onto a tooth,

Image /page/8/Picture/0 description: The image is a logo for KETTENBACH. The logo is set against a blue square background. The logo consists of seven white circles arranged in a triangular shape, with six circles forming the base and one circle at the apex. Below the circles, the word "KETTENBACH" is written in bold, white letters. Below the word, the phrase "Simply intelligent" is written in black letters.

core or into a cavity by applying a force onto the restoration to maintain a small laver thickness of the luting material. Therefore, the shear bond test method described in ISO/TS 16506 is a more realistic measurement for this kind of product (Visalys® Restorative Primer) due to the loading of the test specimen, which simulates the above-mentioned clinical procedure. ISO/TS 11405 gives a general overview of techniques for examination of adhesion. Once aqain, only procedures for testing of the adhesion to tooth structure are included (title of the standard: "Testing of adhesion to tooth structure"). Annex A describes methods for the measurement of bond strength. As explained above, shear bond strength of Visalys® Restorative Primer was already tested according to ISO/TS 16506. An additional bond strength measurement is e.g. micro-tensile bond strength, as described in Annex A, A.2.4. Unfortunately, such measurement cannot be performed with restorative materials because there is no practicable way to cut restorative materials (e.g. metals like titanium) into the desired dimension of 1 mm x 1 mm. Additionally, no force can be applied on the luting material to simulate the clinical procedure (see above). For a detailed description of micro-tensile bond strength and the challenging test procedure to prepare test specimen, see S. Armstrong et al. (1)

Armstrong, S. et al. Academy of Dental Materials quidance on in vitro 1. testing of dental composite bonding effectiveness to dentin / enamel using microtensile bond strength (µTBS) approach. Dent. Mater. 33, 133-143 (2016).

-Clinical Performance Data

No data from human clinical studies has been included to support the substantial equivalence of Visalys® Restorative Primer.

J. Conclusion Regarding Substantial Equivalence:

Kettenbach GmbH & Co KG believes that Visalys® Restorative Primer, universal adhesion primer for restoration materials is substantially equivalent to Clearfil Ceramic Primer Plus (K150703). It does not introduce new indications for use, has similar technological characteristics and does not introduce new potential hazards or safety risks.
