Device Description
The Infinix™ Family of Dental Composites include the following light-cured, resinbased composite materials: - Universal Composite - Flowable Composite - Bulk Fill Flow Composite Some of the silica-based filler particles (max 1.2% wt/wt of the total formulation) contained in all the Infinix™ composites are decorated with quaternary ammonium functional groups that are covalently bound to the filler particles' silica core via a silane linker (herein referred to as "QASi"). Following light induced polymerization, QASi particles (produced by Nobio) remain permanently entrapped within the composite restoration and destroy microorganisms by contact. As the cell membrane of microorganisms is negatively charged and the QASi particles have strong positive charges, microorganisms are electrostatically attracted to the positively charged cured material's surface resulting in disruption of their cell membrane and immediate microbial lysis.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a dental composite material with antibacterial properties due to the addition of QASi particles. There is no mention of any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML. The performance study described is a clinical trial evaluating the material's effect on demineralization, not the performance of an AI/ML algorithm.

No
The device, a dental composite, is used for restorative purposes, such as filling cavities and repairing teeth. While it has an antibacterial component to reduce demineralization, its primary function is not to treat a disease or medical condition but rather to restore the form and function of teeth, classifying it as a restorative material rather than a therapeutic device.

No

The device description clearly states that the Infinix™ Family of Dental Composites are light-cured, resin-based composite materials used for restorations and other dental procedures. These are restorative materials, not diagnostic tools.

No

The device is a physical dental composite material, not software. The description details its chemical composition and physical properties, and the performance studies involve clinical testing of the material itself.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended uses listed are all related to the direct restoration and repair of teeth within the oral cavity. This is a therapeutic and restorative function, not a diagnostic one performed on samples outside the body.
  • Device Description: The device is a dental composite material designed to be placed directly into a patient's mouth and cured. While it has an antibacterial mechanism, this mechanism acts in situ within the mouth, not on a sample in a laboratory setting.
  • No Mention of In Vitro Testing: The description of the performance study is an in-situ clinical study, meaning it was conducted within the living environment (the patient's mouth via a denture model). There is no mention of testing patient samples (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) outside the body for diagnostic purposes.
  • Anatomical Site: The anatomical site is the tooth cavity, which is within the patient's body. IVDs typically analyze samples taken from the body.

In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the examination of specimens derived from the human body solely or principally for the purpose of providing information concerning a physiological state, state of health, or disease or congenital abnormality. This device does not fit that definition.

Device Description

Composite restorations are performed with two main components: a resin-based composite for filling the prepared tooth cavity and the bonding system which is applied to the cavity before the placement of the composite filling material.

The composites are resin based and the proportion of the inorganic filler material is the main differentiator among the composite materials.

The Infinix™ Family of Dental Composites include the following light-cured, resinbased composite materials:

  • . Universal Composite
  • Flowable Composite
  • . Bulk Fill Flow Composite

There are no changes to the formulation, manufacturing processes, and packaging of the three composites submitted under K182921, K182714, and K182580.

Some of the silica-based filler particles (max 1.2% wt/wt of the total formulation) contained in all the Infinix™ composites are decorated with quaternary ammonium functional groups that are covalently bound to the filler particles' silica core via a silane linker (herein referred to as "QASi").

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Clinical Performance Testing: An in-situ clinical study comparing Infinix™ Universal Composite to a widely used, similar composite without antibacterial particles was conducted at the School of Dentistry, UCSF (San Francisco, CA). Subjects wearing lower partial dentures with acrylic flanges on both sides of the mouth who met the eligibility criteria were recruited. On each side of the denture an enamel slab was placed next to a composite, separated by a tiny gap. On one side of the denture the composite was Nobio's Infinix Universal Composite ("Nobio group"), on the other side a widely used, similar composite without antibacterial particles served as control material ("control group"). Enamel slab and composite were recessed into the flange, allowing microbial plaque to accumulate on top of it and especially in the gap. After wearing the dentures for four weeks with the slabs, decalcification (mineral loss) in the enamel slabs adjacent to the gap were determined by cross-section microhardness testing in the laboratory. Average mineral loss was calculated for the Nobio group and the control group, and difference tested for statistical significance.

A total of 25 subjects, 17 males and 8 females, were recruited having an average age of 63.7 ± 14.1 years (range 33.66 to 80.98 years) and their ethnicity included 12 subjects (48%) white and 13 subjects (52%) non-white (7 Black, 3 Hispanic, 2 Asian, and 1 Native American). The subjects wore the gap models in average for 27.9 ± 1.2 days (range 26 to 31 days), thus meeting the targeted 4-week in situ wearing period. The average mineral loss ΔZ (vol% x um) in enamel slabs facing the control composite was 730.8 ± 558 while the average mineral loss ΔZ in enamel slabs facing the Nobio composite with antibacterial particles was 233.8 ± 330.9. The two-tailed, paired t-test determined the significance level for a difference as P

5.4 DEVICE DESCRIPTION

Composite restorations are performed with two main components: a resin-based composite for filling the prepared tooth cavity and the bonding system which is applied to the cavity before the placement of the composite filling material.

The composites are resin based and the proportion of the inorganic filler material is the main differentiator among the composite materials.

The Infinix™ Family of Dental Composites include the following light-cured, resinbased composite materials:

  • . Universal Composite
  • Flowable Composite
  • . Bulk Fill Flow Composite

There are no changes to the formulation, manufacturing processes, and packaging of the three composites submitted under K182921, K182714, and K182580.

Some of the silica-based filler particles (max 1.2% wt/wt of the total formulation) contained in all the Infinix™ composites are decorated with quaternary ammonium functional groups that are covalently bound to the filler particles' silica core via a silane linker (herein referred to as "QASi"). Following light induced polymerization, QASi particles (produced by Nobio) remain permanently entrapped within the composite restoration and destroy microorganisms by contact. As the cell membrane of microorganisms is negatively charged and the QASi particles have strong positive charges, microorganisms are electrostatically attracted to the positively charged cured material's surface resulting in disruption of their cell membrane and immediate microbial lysis.

The Infinix™ Universal Composite, Infinix™ Flowable Composite, and InfinixTM Bulk Fill Flow Composite have the exact same formulation, manufacturing processes, and packaging as the three composites submitted under K182921, K182714, and K182580. The only differences implemented in this submission are:

    1. Removal from the Instructions for Use the statement "Clinical studies have not been conducted to demonstrate that the presence of QASi in this device results in improved clinical outcomes" that was requested by the Agency in the previous 510(k) submissions; and
    1. Addition of the following statement to the intended use of each composite: "The addition of the QASi particles to the { composite name } reduces demineralization, which is part of the caries-formation process."

5.7 PERFORMANCE DATA

Non-Clinical Performance Testing:

All non-clinical and biological testing submitted in K182921, K182714, and K182580 apply to this submission as no changes have been implemented in the formulation, manufacturing processes, and packaging.

Clinical Performance Testing:

An in-situ clinical study comparing Infinix™ Universal Composite to a widely used, similar composite without antibacterial particles was conducted at the School of Dentistry, UCSF (San Francisco, CA). Subjects wearing lower partial dentures with acrylic flanges on both sides of the mouth who met the eligibility criteria were recruited. On each side of the denture an enamel slab was placed next to a composite, separated by a tiny gap. On one side of the denture the composite was Nobio's Infinix Universal Composite ("Nobio group"), on the other side a widely used, similar composite without antibacterial particles served as control material ("control group"). Enamel slab and composite were recessed into the flange, allowing microbial plaque to accumulate on top of it and especially in the gap. After wearing the dentures for four weeks with the slabs, decalcification (mineral loss) in the enamel slabs adjacent to the gap were determined by cross-section microhardness testing in the laboratory. Average mineral loss was calculated for the Nobio group and the control group, and difference tested for statistical significance.

A total of 25 subjects, 17 males and 8 females, were recruited having an average age of 63.7 ± 14.1 years (range 33.66 to 80.98 years) and their ethnicity included 12 subjects

(48%) white and 13 subjects (52%) non-white (7 Black, 3 Hispanic, 2 Asian, and 1 Native American). The subjects wore the gap models in average for 27.9 ± 1.2 days (range 26 to 31 days), thus meeting the targeted 4-week in situ wearing period. The average mineral loss ΔZ (vol% x um) in enamel slabs facing the control composite was 730.8 ± 558 while the average mineral loss ΔZ in enamel slabs facing the Nobio composite with antibacterial particles was 233.8 ± 330.9. The two-tailed, paired t-test determined the significance level for a difference as P
