Intended Use
Dental Zirconia Blank are used for dental restorations using different CAD/CAM or manual milling machines. All blanks are processed through dental laboratories or by dental professionals.
Device Description
Dental Zirconia Blank are derived from zirconia powder that has been processed into their final shapes. These blanks are then being further fabricated into all-ceramic restorations such as crowns, bridges, veneers, inlay/onlay. The zirconia powder is composed of ZrO2+ Y2O3+ HfO2+ Al2O3 with its composition conforms to ISO 13356, Implants for surgery - Ceramic materials based on yttriastabilized tetragonal zirconia (Y-TZP). The performance of the dental blanks conforms to ISO 6872. Dentistry - Ceramic materials. Dental Zirconia Blank are derived from the same Zirconia powder as the regular Dental Zirconia Blank with the addition of very small amount of inorganic pigments before the composite material is processed into their final net shapes. These blanks are then being further fabricated into all-ceramic restorations such as crowns, bridges, veneers, inlay/onlay. The purpose of the inorganic pigments is to generate the color on the prosthetic dental devices, after sintering at dental labs, that matches natural color of patient's teeth. The performance of the dental blanks conforms to ISO 6872, Dentistry - Ceramic materials.
More Information

No
The device is a material (zirconia blank) used in dental restorations. The description focuses on the material composition, physical properties, and performance testing according to ISO standards. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any computational processing that would involve AI/ML.

No
The device is a material (zirconia blank) used to fabricate dental restorations, not a therapeutic device itself. Its purpose is to provide the raw material for fixed prosthetic devices like crowns and bridges, which replace missing or damaged tooth structure.

No

The device is a material (zirconia blanks) used to fabricate dental restorations; it does not diagnose patient conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical material (zirconia blanks) used for dental restorations, not a software program.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for creating dental restorations (crowns, bridges, etc.) using CAD/CAM or manual milling machines. This is a manufacturing process for a medical device, not a diagnostic test performed on a biological sample.
  • Device Description: The device is a material (zirconia blank) that is further fabricated into a final dental restoration. It's a component used in the creation of a medical device, not a test kit or instrument for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to diagnose a disease, condition, or state of health. It doesn't analyze blood, urine, tissue, or any other biological sample.
  • Biocompatibility Testing: The biocompatibility testing performed is relevant for a medical device that will be implanted or in contact with the body, not for an IVD which is used to test samples from the body.

In summary, the Dental Zirconia Blank is a material used in the manufacturing of dental prosthetics, which are medical devices. It does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

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

Bench testing was performed per ISO 6872:2015 and internal procedures to ensure that the Dental Zirconia Blank met its specifications. All tests were verified to meet acceptance criteria. Test results on radioactivity, flexural strength, chemical solubility, linear thermal expansion coefficient, freedom from extraneous materials, uniformity, shrinkage factor, pre-sintered density, sintered density, and fracture toughness of the subject device are very similar to predicate device. Biocompatibility testing was performed to verify the equivalent safety of the materials that are used.

According to ISO 10993-1:2018 and ISO7405:2018, we evaluated and conducted the compatibility test for the proposed device. The biocompatibility testing results for Cytotoxicity, Oral Mucosa Irritation, Skin Sensitization Test, Subacute Toxicity Test, Subacute Systemic Toxicity Test, Acute Systemic Toxicity, In Vitro Mammalian Cell Gene Mutation Test, In vitro Mammalian Chromosome Aberration Test, Bacterial Reverse Mutation Test, and Muscle Implant all passed.

indication for use, design between our device and the predicate devices. The minor differences are that as below:

Note 1: Zirconia (ZrO2+ Y2O3+ HfO2+ Al2O3) of proposed device which is not less than 99.0% is higher than that of the predicate device. The three inorganic pigments of the proposed device contain Fe203, Er2O3 and MnO, while those of the predicate device are Fe2O3, Pr2O3, and Er2O3. These are minor differences and the biocompatibility testing of the overall proposed device passed.

Note 2: Processing (Sintering at temperature) of the proposed device is slightly lower 5°C than that of the predicate device. This is minor difference and the performance testing of the proposed device passed.

8. Summary of Non-Clinical Testing

Bench testing was performed per ISO 6872:2015 and internal procedures to ensure that the Dental Zirconia Blank met its specifications. All tests were verified to meet acceptance criteria. Test results on radioactivity, flexural strength, chemical solubility, linear thermal expansion coefficient, freedom from extraneous materials, uniformity, shrinkage factor, pre-sintered density, sintered density, and fracture toughness of the subject device are very similar to predicate device.

9. Clinical Test Conclusion

No clinical study is included in this submission.

10. Conclusion:

The conclusions drawn from the nonclinical tests demonstrate that subject device Dental Zirconia Blank performs as well as or better than the legally marketed predicate device K141724 Upcera Dental Zirconia Blank & Dental Zirconia Pre-Shaded Blank. Dental Zirconia Blank is substantial equivalent to the legally marketed predicate device K141724 Upcera Dental Zirconia Blank & Dental Zirconia Pre-Shaded Blank.
