Dear So Hyun Park:
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.

Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download).
Your device is also subject to, among other requirements, the Quality System (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820), which includes, but is not limited to, 21 CFR 820.30, Design controls; 21 CFR 820.90, Nonconforming product; and 21 CFR 820.100, Corrective and preventive action. Please note that regardless of whether a change requires premarket review, the QS regulation requires device manufacturers to review and approve changes to device design and production (21 CFR 820.30 and 21 CFR 820.70) and document changes and approvals in the device master record (21 CFR 820.181).
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR Part 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reporting-combination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR Parts 1000-1050.
All medical devices, including Class I and unclassified devices and combination product device constituent parts are required to be in compliance with the final Unique Device Identification System rule ("UDI Rule"). The UDI Rule requires, among other things, that a device bear a unique device identifier (UDI) on its label and package (21 CFR 801.20(a)) unless an exception or alternative applies (21 CFR 801.20(b)) and that the dates on the device label be formatted in accordance with 21 CFR 801.18. The UDI Rule (21 CFR 830.300(a) and 830.320(b)) also requires that certain information be submitted to the Global Unique Device Identification Database (GUDID) (21 CFR Part 830 Subpart E). For additional information on these requirements, please see the UDI System webpage at https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/device-advice-comprehensive-regulatory-assistance/unique-device-identification-system-udi-system.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97).

NON-CLINICAL AND/OR CLINICAL TESTS SUMMARY & CONCLUSIONS (21 CFR 807.92(b))
No changes were made to any physical component of BruxZir® NOW. The performance specifications, fundamental scientific technology, and intended use of the subject device, BruxZir® NOW, are unchanged from the predicate device, BruxZir® NOW (K220816).
The proposed device is BruxZir® NOW with a labeling modification. Specifically, the modification involves the addition of a contraindication pertaining to the use of the device in the BruxZir® NOW Bridge Block design, which led to a Change Being Effected (CBE) 510(k). A risk-based assessment was conducted and identified a specific use of BruxZir® NOW Bridge Blocks to a maximum of four units with a maximum of two pontics between pillars. The labeling change was added to help remind the practitioner of the limitation in bridge design imposed by the size of the block, rather than to address any substantial safety risks of the device that restrict its use. It is not associated with any new safety concerns or risk mitigation strategies, nor does it impact the previously cleared indications for use under the existing 510(k) for BruxZir® NOW (K220816).
Following the FDA Guidance, Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device, a Change Being Effected (CBE) 510(k) is appropriate when the change is only the addition of a contraindication. Per the FDA Guidance, the Special 510(k) Program, a Special 510(k) is appropriate when it is a design or labeling change to the manufacturer's own device and performance data are not needed to evaluate the change.
Design verification for BruxZir® NOW (K220816) was previously conducted by Prismatik Dentalcraft, Inc. and is not required for this submission. The following non-clinical data has already been submitted under BruxZir® NOW (K220816) to demonstrate substantial equivalence:
- Flexural Strength according to ISO 6872:2024
- Solubility according to ISO 6872:2024
- Shade evaluation
- Biocompatibility according to ISO 10993-1:2018
- Radioactivity according to ISO 6872:2024

- Packaging Validation according to ASTM D4169-16
No additional verification or validation is necessary to evaluate this change. No clinical data is included in this submission.
The subject device, BruxZir® NOW, is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, BruxZir® NOW (K220816), in regard to intended use, indications for use, fundamental technology including design, materials, manufacturing methods and operational principles. Based on this information, the modification does not raise any new issues regarding the safety and effectiveness of the device when compared to its predicate.
