The device is indicated for use by dental technicians in the construction of custom made all ceramic restorations for anterior and posterior location.
BruxZir® Esthetic blanks are zirconia milling blanks used for the production of esthetic zirconia dental restorations. The high esthetics and high strength of BruxZir® Esthetic restorations make them viable for use in all regions of the mouth. The manufactured dental restorations are made utilizing a CAD/CAM system for design and manufacture. The designed and manufactured dental restorations are then sintered at a high temperature. BruxZir® Esthetic blanks are available in white and pre-shaded varieties that can be easily adjusted to match the final shade.
This document describes the premarket notification (510(k)) for the BruxZir® Esthetic device, a dental ceramic material. The focus is on demonstrating its substantial equivalence to a predicate device, which usually involves performance testing against established standards.

Study Information:
-
Sample sizes used for the test set and the data provenance:
- The document does not explicitly state the numerical sample sizes for each test set (e.g., number of blocks tested for flexural strength). It refers to "worst-case group," "high and low colorant extreme shades," "every batch," "each thickness of Zeno block," "each block type pressed from each batch," and "different styles" for packaging.
- Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated, but given it's a FDA submission for a US-based company (Prismatik Dentalcraft, Inc. in Irvine, California), it's highly likely the studies were conducted in the US and were likely prospective in nature, designed specifically for this submission.
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- For "Shade Match" evaluation, it states "Evaluations of sintered and glazed restorations by qualified reviewers." The exact number of reviewers and their specific qualifications (e.g., "radiologist with 10 years of experience") are not specified.
-
Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- For the aesthetic evaluations (Color Consistency, Translucency, Shade Match), no specific adjudication method (like 2+1 or 3+1) is mentioned. "Qualified reviewers" determined the shade match, implying subjective evaluation against VITA guides. Other tests were objective measurements against quantitative criteria.
-
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:
- This is not applicable to this device. The BruxZir® Esthetic is a dental material (zirconia milling block), not an AI-powered diagnostic or assistive tool. Therefore, no MRMC study or AI assistance comparison was conducted.
-
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done:
- This is not applicable as there is no algorithm or AI component to this device. The performance data is based on physical and chemical testing of the material itself.
-
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc):
- The "ground truth" for this device's performance is established by objective measurements and adherence to international standards (e.g., ISO 6872:2015/Amd 1:2018 for mechanical and physical properties, ASTM D4169-14 for packaging, ISO 10993-1:2018/ISO 14971:2019 for biocompatibility).
- For the aesthetic properties (color consistency, translucency, shade match), the ground truth is based on quantitative color space measurements (ΔE CEILAB) and qualitative assessments by "qualified reviewers" against established dental shade guides (VITA Classical and Bleach shade guides).
-
The sample size for the training set:
- This device is a material, not a machine learning model, so there is no training set in the context of AI/ML. All data described are for device performance testing.
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- As there is no training set for an AI/ML model, this question is not applicable. The "ground truth" for the material's properties is established through the standardized testing methods outlined above.

DETERMINATION OF SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE
The subject device, BruxZir® Esthetic, is substantially equivalent in intended use, material, design principles and performance to the primary predicate device, BruxZir® Shaded (K130924). The main components of the subject device, BruxZir® Esthetic, and the predicate device, BruxZir® Shaded (K130924), are substantially equivalent as generic type of material has not been changed and it does not alter the performance specifications of the subject device. The slight differences in overall chemical composition do not affect biocompatibility and performance characteristics.
The fundamental principle of operation of the subject device, BruxZir® Esthetic, and the predicate device, BruxZir® Shaded (K130924), is similar. The difference between the subject device and the predicate device is that the final target shades are achievable without additional coloring steps for the subject device whereas basic staining and glazing techniques are required after sintering in order to achieve the final target shades for the predicate device. Also, the change in the manufacturing process from colloidal process (slip casting) to press process does not affect the mechanical properties of the final finished device.
The substantial equivalence comparison table above outlines and provides the similarities between the subject device, BruxZir® Esthetic, and the predicate device, BruxZir® Shaded (K130924). Both the subject device and the predicate device have similar physical/mechanical and biocompatibility properties that met the requirements of ISO 6872:2015/Amd 1:2018 (Type II, Class 5) and ISO 10993. Any differences between the subject device and the predicate device do not raise any new concerns of safety and effectiveness.

VII. PERFORMANCE DATA
Non-clinical data submitted to demonstrate substantial equivalence included:
- Mechanical testing for flexural strength, Coefficient of Thermal Expansion 0 (CTE), solubility, radioactivity according to ISO 6872:2015/Amd 1:2018
- Color consistency, translucency, shade match ●
- Packaging validation ●
- Biocompatibility o
Flexural Strength
The flexural strength was tested on the worst-case group. The average flexural strength of each worst-case block batch tested yielded results above the 800 MPa minimum. The results demonstrate that the product's flexural strength meets the ISO 6872: 2015/Amd 1:2018 requirement to be classified as a Type II, Class 5 ceramic product.
Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE)
Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE) was tested in order to demonstrate compliance with the ISO 6872:2015/Amd 1:2018 requirement. Tests performed on the high and low colorant extreme shades vielded CTE results within the specification range of 10-11 x 10-6/ºC and a standard deviation of less than 0.5 x 10-6/ºC. The results met the ISO 6872:2015/Amd 1:2018 CTE requirement.
Solubility
Based on the solubility results from similar products that share the same base powder, approximate yttria content, same series of colorants and method of introduction, it was concluded the solubility is below 100 µg/cm2 limit, meeting the ISO 6872:2015/Amd 1:2018 requirement.
Radioactivity
Since BruxZir® Esthetic is produced entirely from the raw materials, which have been certified to meet the radioactivity requirement of ISO 6872:2015/Amd 1:2018, and the processes through which those powders are transformed into a finished product inherently do not induce radioactivity, BruxZir® Esthetic meets the radioactivity requirement of ISO 6872:2015/Amd 1:2018 without the need for further testing of the finished product.
Color Consistency
Color consistency within a block, within a batch and between batches was tested. A ΔE of less than 2.0 between two coordinates in the CEILAB color space is considered indicative that two shades being perceptibly identical to one another. With the maximum ΔE calculations being made between the minimum and maximum L , a, and b* coordinate constituents within each dataset falling below 2.0, it was concluded that BruxZir® Esthetic conforms to color consistency requirements for and between the batch sizes, block types, and press densities tested. The results of the testing were used to address questions related to substantial equivalence based on differences in

device design between the subject device, BruxZir® Esthetic, and the predicate device, BruxZir® Shaded (K130924).
Translucency
Translucency was tested for every batch as well as each thickness of Zeno block pressed. The results show that BruxZir® Esthetic to be more translucent than the reference product; therefore, demonstrating conformance with acceptance criteria for translucency. The results of the testing were used to address questions related to substantial equivalence based on differences in device design between the subject device, BruxZir® Esthetic, and the predicate device, BruxZir® Shaded (K130924).
Shade Match
Shade match validation was performed on restorations milled and sintered from each block type pressed from each batch. Evaluations of sintered and glazed restorations by qualified reviewers against the VITA Classical and Bleach shade guides concluded that BruxZir Esthetic meets shade match requirements for all batch sizes, restoration types, and press densities tested. The results of the testing were used to address questions related to substantial equivalence based on differences in device design between the subject device, BruxZir® Esthetic, and the predicate device, BruxZir® Shaded (K130924).
Packaging Validation
Packaging validation was also performed for different styles, GL Single Unit and GL Bridge Block, offered for BruxZir® Esthetic. Per ASTM D4169-14, the shipping unit was tested for manual handling, compressive loads, repetitive shocks from vibration, vertical vibration environments, concentrated impacts and secondary manual handling drops. After the tests, the shipping containers were visually inspected for any damages. It was determined that the GL Singe Unit and GL Bridge Block with their respective packaging, is suitable for use. The results of the testing were used to address questions related to substantial equivalence based on differences in product packaging between the subject device, BruxZir® Esthetic, and the predicate device, BruxZir® Shaded (K130924).
Biocompatibilitv
Biological evaluation within a risk management process was performed in accordance with ISO 10993-1:2018 and ISO 14971:2019. Based on the biocompatibility testing results from similar products, it was determined that there is no biocompatibility concern in regards to yttria concentration, colorants, or organic binders. The results of the testing were used to address questions related to substantial equivalence based on differences in chemical composition between the subject device, BruxZir® Esthetic, and the predicate device, BruxZir® Shaded (K130924).
VIII. CONCLUSION
BruxZir® Esthetic was evaluated for substantial equivalence using standard and/or comparative testing. Based on technological characteristics and non-clinical test data
