TP Orthodontics Light Cure Adhesive System is indicated for use as an orthodontic bonding agent for metal brackets, ceramic brackets, and buccal tubes to the tooth's surface.
TP Orthodontics Pre-Applied Adhesive is indicated for use in orthodontic appliance application and bonding for orthodontic treatment.
TP Orthodontics Echant is indicated for etching enamel and dentin to promote adhesion of primer/bonding agent adhesives to tooth structure and restorative materials.
TP Orthodontics Light Cure Adhesive System and TP Orthodontics Pre-Applied Adhesive are light cure orthodontic adhesive used for bonding the orthodontic brackets, molar tubes, and buccal tubes to the surface of teeth for orthodontic treatment. The variations available are:
- . TP Orthodontics Light Cure Adhesive System, which consists of an adhesive paste (will be available in a pre-loaded syringe), and sealant.
- . TP Orthodontics Pre-Applied Adhesive, consisting of bracket adhesive pre-applied to the bracket pad.
The adhesives prevent bracket drift during placement, and is easy to clean-up excess (flash') prior to curing. The adhesive is polymerized ('cured') by exposure to a dental curing light, and once cured it creates a bond, attaching the orthodontic appliance to the teeth.
TP Orthodontics Etchant is a phosphoric acid etchant used on tooth enamel or dentin in preparation for orthodontic bonding. It is a blue gel and will be contained in a syringe, which will use disposable dispensing tips for its controlled application.
The provided text is a 510(k) summary for dental adhesive products and an etchant, not an AI/ML medical device. Therefore, it does not contain the information required to answer the prompt regarding acceptance criteria, study details (sample size, data provenance, expert ground truth, adjudication, MRMC, standalone performance), or training set information for an AI/ML device.
The document explicitly states:
- "No clinical performance testing was conducted on TP Orthodontics Light Cure Adhesive System, TP Orthodontics Pre-Applied Adhesive, and TP Orthodontics Etchant."
- "TP Orthodontics Light Cure Adhesive System, TP Orthodontics Pre-Applied Adhesive and TP Orthodontics Etchant bench testing was performed. The proposed device passed testing and performed similar to its predicate devices (test reports are attached to this submission)."
This means the submission relies on bench testing demonstrating similarity to predicate devices, rather than clinical studies or AI/ML performance evaluations.
