TEMP MASTER, PMMA-based dental resin developed by Taiwan Dental Materials CO., LTD. is a self-cured resin indicated for the fabrication of short-term restorations including temporary inlays, crowns, and bridges, which can protect or restore damaged teeth while permanent restorations are being prepared. It is a traditional auto-cured PMMA-based resin composed of powder and liquid. Polymerization occurs when the powder and liquid are mixed at room temperature.
TEMP MASTER, PMMA-based dental resin, is a self-curing (cold-cure) material designed to fabricate temporary crowns and bridges. It consists of two components: powder and liquid. Polymerization occurs when the powder and liquid are mixed at room temperature. Classified as a Type 1 (autopolymerizable) acrylic resin according to ISO 10477 standards, TEMP MASTER, PMMA-based dental resin provides reliable performance for temporary restorations.
This document describes a 510(k) premarket notification for a dental material, not an AI/ML powered device. Therefore, much of the requested information regarding AI/ML device studies (such as sample sizes for test and training sets, data provenance, number of experts, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, and ground truth types) is not applicable.
However, I can extract the acceptance criteria and reported device performance based on the provided bench testing information for the TEMP MASTER, PMMA-based dental resin.
Here's the information as it relates to the provided document:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
| Performance Characteristic | Acceptance Criteria (ISO 10477) | Reported Device Performance (TEMP MASTER, PMMA-based dental resin) |
|---|---|---|
| Flexural Strength | >50 MPa | >50 MPa |
| Water Absorption | Complies with ISO 10477 | Complies with ISO 10477 |
| Water Solubility | Complies with ISO 10477 | Complies with ISO 10477 |
2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
- Sample Size: The document does not specify the exact sample sizes used for the bench tests. It only states that "the nonclinical tests conducted in accordance with ISO 10477 assessed the flexural strength, water sorption, and water solubility."
- Data Provenance: The bench testing was performed to support the 510(k) submission from "Taiwan Dental Materials CO., LTD." The data would therefore originate from Taiwan, likely conducted prospectively for regulatory submission.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)
Not applicable. This is a dental material, and the performance is evaluated through objective physical and chemical bench testing against international standards (ISO 10477). There were no human experts involved in establishing a "ground truth" in the way it's understood for AI/ML diagnostic devices.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
Not applicable. As this involves physical/chemical testing, there is no "adjudication method" in the context of human interpretation or consensus. The tests would be performed according to standardized protocols and the results measured objectively.
5. 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
Not applicable. This is a medical device (dental material), not an AI/ML algorithm requiring human interpretation.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done
Not applicable. This is a medical device (dental material), not an AI/ML algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert concensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
The "ground truth" for the device's performance is established by international standards for dental materials (ISO 10477). These standards define the acceptable ranges and methodologies for evaluating physical and chemical properties like flexural strength, water absorption, and water solubility.
8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable. This is a medical device (dental material), not an AI/ML algorithm that requires a "training set."
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable. This is a medical device (dental material), not an AI/ML algorithm.

Dear Pey-Fen Tang:
We have reviewed your section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

7. Performance Data
Biocompatibility Testing
The biocompatibility evaluation for TEMP MASTER, PMMA-based dental resin was conducted in accordance with the FDA Blue Book Memorandum #G95 and international Standard ISO 10993.
Bench Testing
ISO 10477. Dentistry-Polymer-based crown and bridge materials. 2018. -The nonclinical tests conducted in accordance with ISO 10477 assessed the flexural strength, water sorption, and water solubility of the temporary crown and bridge dental resin. The performance characteristics of TEMP MASTER, PMMA-based dental resin, were compared to those of the predicate device, and both materials demonstrated results within the acceptable ranges defined by the standard.
Sterility and Shelf-life
The device is provided non- sterile.
From the shelf-life testing, TEMP MASTER, PMMA-based dental resin has a shelf life of 2.5 years. The shelf testing has been conducted with the bench test fromthe ISO Standard 10477 and ISO 868.
8. Similarity and differences
TEMP MASTER, PMMA-based dental resin is similar to the predicate device in the method of processing. The main difference is the slight differences in the percentage of chemical composition. The chemical composition might influence the biocompatibility of TEMP MASTER, as well as its performance (mechanical properties). Thus, both biocompatibility and performance has been demonstrated for TEMP MASTER. The same tests according to the same standards ISO 10993 and ISO 10477 were used to show biocompatibility and performance of the predicate.
9. Conclusion
After analyzing bench test, device description and intended use/ indication for use, it can be concluded that TEMP MASTER, PMMA-based dental resin is as safe and effective as the predicate device, Unifast III (K073106).
