No
The description focuses on the material properties and fabrication process of a dental restoration system, with no mention of AI or ML.
No.
Explanation: This device is a dental material used for fabricating restorations, not for treating a disease or condition. Its purpose is to repair or replace existing dental structures.
No
This device is a material (glass-ceramic) used for fabricating dental restorations, not for diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device description clearly outlines a physical glass-ceramic material and a process involving heat, pressure, and molding to create dental restorations. This involves tangible hardware and materials, not just software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the fabrication of dental restorations (inlays, onlays, veneers, crowns). This is a manufacturing process for a medical device (the dental restoration), not a diagnostic test performed on a biological sample.
- Device Description: The description details a process of creating a dental restoration using a glass-ceramic material and porcelain. It involves heating, molding, and crystallization. This is a material and manufacturing process, not a diagnostic test.
- Lack of Diagnostic Activity: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing information about a patient's health status, disease, or condition.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies mentioned are biocompatibility tests (cytotoxicity, mutagenicity, irritation), which are relevant for materials used in the body, but not indicative of a diagnostic device.
IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device's purpose is to create a physical restoration for a tooth.

Device Description
The FINESSE™ALL-CERAMIC SYSTEM is a glass-ceramic material designed to be used with Finesse™ Low-Fusing Porcelain. By combining the core material with the Finesse™ Low-Fusing Porcelain, the laboratory can offer the recognized aesthetics wear characteristic and chair-side polishability of Finesse™ Low-Fusing Porcelains combined with the aesthetic benefits of an all-ceramic system.
A dental restoration is prepared by placing a glass material in a heat and pressure deformable crucible. Heat is applied to the crucible to bring the glass to a "working" temperature. The glass is brought into contact with a mold having a preformed dental restorative cavity. The crucible is crushed and the molten glass is then injected into the mold. After cooling, the glass coping is removed from the mold. The glass restoration is heat treated to crystallize into a glass-ceramic. Finesse™ Low-Fusing Porcelain is then applied on the glass-ceramic coping to complete the restoration.

§ 872.6660 Porcelain powder for clinical use.
(a)
Identification. Porcelain powder for clinical use is a device consisting of a mixture of kaolin, felspar, quartz, or other substances intended for use in the production of artificial teeth in fixed or removable dentures, of jacket crowns, facings, and veneers. The device is used in prosthetic dentistry by heating the powder mixture to a high temperature in an oven to produce a hard prosthesis with a glass-like finish.(b)
Classification. Class II.

INTENDED USE: The FINESSE™ ALL-CERAMIC SYSTEM is used only with Finesse™ Low-Fusing Porcelain for the fabrication of dental restorations: for inlays, onlays, veneers, complete crowns on anterior teeth, and for single crowns on selected posterior teeth.
TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS: All components in the FINESSE™ ALL-CERAMIC SYSTEM have been used in predicale medical devices or have been found safe for dental use.
The FINESSE™ ALL-CERAMIC SYSTEM has been evaluated by the MEM Elution Test and found to be non-cytotoxic, by the Ames Mutagenicity Assay and found to be non-mutagenic, and by the Hamster Cheek Pouch Irritation Study (mucous membrane) and found to be a non-irritant.
We believe that the prior use of the components in predicate devices, the results of the toxicity and irritation testing, and the performance data support the safety and effectiveness of the FINESSE™ ALL-CERAMIC SYSTEM for the intended uses.
