Intended Use
Provisional or temporary restorative materials are used in dentistry for treatment procedures not intended to be permanent or final. The purpose of the temporary material is to protect a prepared tooth surface during the interim period until the permanent restoration is available. An example of this interim period is the time that passes while porcelain or metal prosthetic devices are being fabricated in a dental laboratory. Another purpose of a temporary restoration is to provide an esthetically pleasing appearance for the patient during this interim period.
Device Description
Kerr's TempFil F is designed to fulfill all of the requirements of a successful temporary restorative material. TempFil F is supplied in two formulations identified as Inlay and Onlay. The Inlay formula is slightly less filled and this lower viscosity paste will flow easily into the complex preparation configurations of the typical inlay type restoration. Conversely, the onlay formula, with its' higher filler loading, results in a stiffer paste more suited to the sculpting and packing associated with a typical onlay type restoration. These two formulations have also been adjusted to accomodate the different service conditions experienced by the two distinct types of restoration in the oral environment. The onlay paste contains an additional crosslinking monomer not found in the inlay material. This additional crosslinking results in a harder surfaced restoration which is better able to withstand forces exerted by opposing dentition. These forces are more prevalent in an onlay type restoration. The visible light activated curing characteristic of this no mix system is quicker and easier for the dentist to accomplish than the traditional chemically cured mixed catalyst and base systems. Both formulations contain a monomeric component that allows the cured material to maintain the degree of elasticity required for easy removal when the final restoration is available. This elasticity helps to prevent damage to prepared margins during removal. Both formulations contain a fluoride release agent to impart the benefits of fluoride even during temporary use. The kit contains a syringe of Relief, a water soluble gel that is designed to prevent adhesion to glass ionomer and composite resin based liners placed under the TempFil F restorative.

The description focuses on the material properties and chemical composition of a temporary dental restorative material. There is no mention of any computational or analytical capabilities that would suggest the use of AI or ML.

No
The device is a temporary restorative material used in dentistry to protect a prepared tooth surface during the interim period until a permanent restoration is available, and to provide an esthetically pleasing appearance. It is not described as treating or preventing any disease or condition.

No

The device description indicates that TempFil F is a temporary restorative material used in dentistry to protect prepared tooth surfaces and provide esthetic appearance until a permanent restoration is available. It is a treatment material, not a device used for diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical material (paste) used for dental restorations, not a software application.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for temporary dental restorations to protect prepared tooth surfaces and provide esthetics during the fabrication of permanent restorations. This is a direct treatment/restorative application within the oral cavity.
  • Device Description: The description details the material composition and physical properties designed for dental restoration, not for analyzing samples from the human body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health condition.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or screening purposes. This device is a material used directly in the mouth for a restorative purpose.
