Study Details:
This submission describes non-clinical performance testing to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the Ceramill A-Temp and its substantial equivalence to a predicate device (K112967, PMMA CAD/CAM Disc).
-
Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- The document does not specify exact sample sizes for each individual non-clinical test (e.g., how many samples were used for bending strength testing).
- The data provenance is from non-clinical laboratory testing performed by Amann Girrbach AG. The country of origin of the testing is not explicitly stated but implies testing by the manufacturer (Amann Girrbach AG, based in Austria) or a contracted lab. It is retrospective in the sense that the testing was completed prior to the 510(k) submission.
-
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):
- No human "experts" in the sense of clinical decision-making were involved in establishing ground truth for these non-clinical tests. The "ground truth" for these tests is defined by international and national standards (e.g., ISO 10477:2018, ISO 10993-1) and internal requirements. Scientific and engineering experts set these standards.
-
Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- Not applicable as this is non-clinical performance testing against pre-defined engineering and material standards, not a clinical trial requiring human adjudication of results.
-
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:
- No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not performed. This device is a dental material (temporary crown and bridge resin) and does not involve AI or human "readers" in its application.
-
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- No. This is a material device, not an algorithm, so this concept is not applicable.
-
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc):
- The "ground truth" or reference standard for this non-clinical testing is based on International and National Standards (specifically ISO 10477:2018 for dental polymer-based materials and ISO 10993-1 for biocompatibility) and internal material specifications.
-
The sample size for the training set:
- This concept is not applicable. This is a physical dental material, not an AI/machine learning algorithm, so there is no "training set."
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable.

To demonstrate safety and effectiveness of Ceramill A-Temp and to show substantial equivalence to the predicate device, Amann Girrbach AG completed of the following non-clinical tests. The Ceramill A-Temp meets all the requirements for overall design and biocompatibility confirming that the design output meets the design inputs and specifications for the device.
The Ceramill A-Temp passed the testing in accordance with internal requirements, national standards, and international standards shown below, supporting its safety and its substantial equivalence to the subject device:
- . Biocompatibility testing per ISO 10993-1. No cytotoxic effects were observed in presence of the test material extracts. There was no indication that any ingredients/residues of the blank material are released in toxicologically relevant concentrations during the intended dental use.
- . Residual monomer testing – Ceramill A-Temp met requirement from ISO 10477:2018.
- . 3-point bending strength – Ceramill A-Temp met requirement from ISO 10477:2018.
- Water solubility - Ceramill A-Temp met requirement from ISO 10477:2018.
- . Water absorption – Ceramill A-Temp met requirement from ISO 10477:2018.
- . Polishability - Ceramill A-Temp met requirement from ISO 10477:2018.
- Wearing period – the wearing period has been determined to be of a maximum of three years.
- Shelf Life Testing – it was demonstrated that key characteristics do not degrade after four years of storage.
10. Statement of Substantial Equivalence
The Ceramill A-Temp has the same intended use as the predicate device, and the same or similar technological characteristics. The differences in technological characteristics do not raise new or different questions of safety and effectiveness. Performance testing has demonstrated the Ceramill A-Temp is as safe and effective as the predicate device.
Therefore, the Ceramill A-Temp, as designed and manufactured, is determined to be substantially equivalent to the referenced predicate device.
