Intended Use

3M VitCal Liner/Base is indicated for lining and basing applications under dental restorations. 3M VitCal Liner/Base is also indicated for direct pulp capping.

Device Description

3M VitCal liner/base is a two-part paste/paste, light-cured system. The paste/paste materials are contained in a Micro-Mix Syringe Dispensing System. This dispensing system provides simultaneous dispensing and mixing of each component for a consistent mix and direct application into the mouth. The composition is a combination of a resin-modified glass ionomer and calcium-based material. The first paste contains a radiopaque fluoro-aluminosilicate glass and calcium filler. The second paste contains a modified polyalkenoic acid. VitCal liner/base provides the major benefits of glass ionomer cements including adhesion to the tooth structure and sustained fluoride release. Additionally, VitCal linerbase offers a high pH environment and a combination of a prolonged working time with an on-demand set time achieved by light curing.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) Premarket Notification for a dental product, 3M™ VitCal Liner/Base. It details the device's characteristics, indications for use, and a comparison to predicate devices to establish substantial equivalence.

It is important to note that this document is for a DENTAL LINER/BASE material, NOT an AI-powered medical device for diagnosis or image analysis. Therefore, the requested information regarding AI study design, such as MRMC studies, expert adjudication for ground truth, sample sizes for training/test sets in an AI context, and effect sizes of human readers with AI assistance, is not applicable to this submission.

The acceptance criteria and "study" proving the device meets them, in this context, refer to bench testing of physical, chemical, and biological properties (biocompatibility) to demonstrate that the new dental material performs comparably or acceptably to existing predicate devices.

Here's the relevant information extracted from the document, tailored to the type of device:

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:

  • Sample Size for Bench Tests: The specific number of samples (e.g., n=5, n=10) for each individual bench test (e.g., compressive strength, flexural strength) is not explicitly detailed in this summary. However, standard deviations are provided for most quantitative measurements (e.g., 103 ± 10), implying multiple replicates were used for testing. For "Dentin Tubule Occlusion," it states "Only 1 lot of 3M VitCal was tested."
  • Data Provenance: The data is generated from laboratory bench testing of the dental material. The document does not specify a country of origin for the testing, but the submitting company (3M ESPE Dental Products) is based in St. Paul, MN, USA. The testing is prospective in the sense that it's performed specifically to characterize the device for this submission.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications:

  • This question is not applicable as the "test set" here refers to physical and chemical properties measured in a lab, not clinical images or patient data analyzed by experts.
  • For biocompatibility assessment, it states: "A Diplomate of the American Board of Toxicology has assessed the safety of this product and has determined that it is safe for its intended use." This is an expert opinion on the safety, but not "ground truth" derived from patient data.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

  • This question is not applicable as there is no expert reading or interpretation of "cases" involved. Performance is based on direct physical and chemical measurements.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done:

  • No, an MRMC study was NOT done. This type of study is relevant for AI systems that assist human readers in tasks like image interpretation, which is not the function of this dental liner/base material.

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

  • No, this is not an algorithm. This is a physical dental material. The "standalone performance" is represented by the bench test results of the material itself.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:

  • The "ground truth" for this device is based on established industry standards and physical/chemical measurements (e.g., ISO 9917-2 standards for dental cements, ASTM/ISO standards for mechanical properties, and analytical chemistry methods for ion release). For biocompatibility, it's based on toxicological assessments against established biological safety standards (e.g., ISO 10993).

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:

  • Not applicable. This device is a material, not an AI model requiring a training set.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established:

  • Not applicable. This device is a material, not an AI model, and therefore has no "training set."

Substantial Equivalence

Substantial equivalency of 3M VitCal LinersBase to TheraCal LC and 3M Vitrebond Plus is made on the basis of intended/indicated use, technological characteristics, and performance testing. Differences in technological characteristics of the subject device and the primary predicate devices have been evaluated in accordance with the Agency's Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff: The 510(k) Program: Evaluating Substantial Equivalence in Premarket Notifications [510(k)] dated July 28, 2014. In accordance with this guidance document, a "different question of safety or effectiveness" means a question raised by the technological characteristics of the new device that was not applicate device and poses a significant safety or effectiveness concern for the new device. Differences in the technological characteristics of 3M VitCal, TheraCal LC, and 3M Vitrebond Plus do not rase different questions of safety or effectiveness.

Biocompatibility Assessment

VitCal Liner/Base was assessed as an external communicating device that is intended to be in contact with the body for greater than 30 days (ISO 10993, ISO 7405, FDA-2013-D-0350, and PFSB).

In accordance with the combined guidance found in ISO 10993, ISO 7405, Testing guidelines outlined in the US FDA Docket Number FDA-2013-D-0350, and Japan: PSEHB/MDED No. 0106-1 and 0612-4, the following endpoints below must be considered in the biocompatibility evaluation of this product: Physical and/or Chemical Information, Cytotoxicity, Sensitization, Irritation/Intracutaneous Reactivity, Acute Systemic Toxicity, Material-Mediated Pyrogenicity, Subacute Toxicity, Genotoxicity, and Implantation.

A Diplomate of the American Board of Toxicology has assessed the safety of this product and has determined that it is safe for its intended use.

Statement of Substantial Equivalence

The indications for use of 3M VitCal Liner/Base are the same as TheraCal LC and similar to Vitrebond Plus. 3M VitCal Liner/Base technological characteristics are similar but not identical to TheraCal LC and 3M Vitrebond Plus. All three devices are resin-based, radiopaque, lightcured dental materials with similar dispensing systems. Differences in technological characteristics of the subject device and the primary predicate devices have been evaluated in accordance with the Agency's Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff: The 510(k) Program: Evaluating Substantial Equivalence in Premarket Notifications [510(k)] dated July 28, 2014. Differences in the technological characteristics of 3M VitCal Liner/Base, compared to TheraCal LC and Vitrebond Plus, do not raise significant concerns about safety or effectiveness. Bench testing was conducted to compare the performance of 3M VitCal Liner/Base to TheraCal LC and 3M Vitrebond Plus. Testing demonstrates that the safety and performance of 3M VitCal Liner/Base are substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
