The summary describes a material block used in CAD/CAM systems for dental restorations. It focuses on the material properties and manufacturing process, with no mention of AI or ML for design, analysis, or any other function.
No
The devices are blocks used for fabricating indirect single-tooth restorations (crowns, inlays, onlays, and veneers), which are prosthetics and not therapeutic interventions.
No
The device is described as hybrid glass blocks used for the fabrication of indirect single-tooth restorations (crowns, inlays, onlays, veneers) using CAD/CAM technology, not for diagnosing conditions.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "hybrid glass block" used for fabricating dental restorations, indicating it is a physical material, not software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use/Indications for Use: The intended use is for fabricating dental restorations (crowns, inlays, onlays, veneers, implant-supported crowns). This is a therapeutic or restorative purpose, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The device is a material (hybrid glass blocks) used in a manufacturing process (CAD/CAM) to create physical dental prosthetics. It does not interact with biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide diagnostic information.
- Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of the device being used to detect, measure, or analyze any biological markers or conditions.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on physical properties of the material (flexural strength, compressive strength, biocompatibility), which are relevant to the structural integrity and safety of a dental restoration, not diagnostic accuracy.
IVD devices are specifically designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.

Device Description
The edelweiss CAD/CAM BLOCK and the Ceramir CAD/CAM Block are hybrid glass blocks used for the fabrication of indirect single-tooth restorations using CAD/CAM technology. The edelweiss CAD/CAM BLOCK and the Ceramir CAD/CAM BLOCK are available in the three different variants T-BLOCK and i-BLOCK and five shades.
T-BLOCKs are highly translucent blocks that mimic the optical properties of natural enamel. C-BLOCKs are high chromatic blocks corresponding to the color shades A0, A1, A2 and A3. i-BLOCKs are highly translucent and highly chromatic blocks, which have a pre-produced Ti-base interface.
The uniqueness of the edelweiss CAD/CAM BLOCK and the Ceramir CAD/CAM BLOCK lies in the manufacturing process, in which a hybrid glass block is produced by the patented process of vitrification and laser sintering. As a result, the edelweiss CAD/CAM BLOCK and the Ceramir CAD/CAM BLOCK combines the properties of the current CAD/CAM systems in a single block. It has properties comparable to those of feldspar glass-ceramics.
