Intended Use
To construct cosmetic prosthetic dental restoratives for use in fixed restorations with or without metal frameworks to include: - single crowns, - telescope crowns, - conus crowns, - bridges, - Maryland bridges, - bridges on implants, - inlays, - onlays - facettes (laminate veneers), and - restorations.
Device Description
CRISTOBAL consists of a series of layered composite restorative glass strength materials, combining the benefit of porcelain, composite and dental alloys, whose combined properties of wear resistance, flexural strength, maximum compressive strength and bulk modulus, make it suitable for all types of fixed cosmetic prosthetic restorations. CRISTOBAL offers the patient a tooth colored occlusal surface with the feeling of natural teeth. CRISTOBAL is subject to complete polymerization for optimal reactions of the various materials. Due to the fact that the light curing material of CRISTOBAL is radioand its matrix has a very high content in inorganic particles (barium opaque. borosilicate), it allows for the production of fixed prostheses with functional, mechanical, and cosmetic longevity. CRISTOBAL is composed of silanized barium borosilicate particles, a non-fracturable filler material, which are closely packed (74.2 weight percent) providing optimal silanization and cohesion of glass thereby ensuring protection against fracture together, with strong resistance to damage. With the matrix of Bis-GMA, TEDMA and UDDMA, these elastic memory properties also ensure damage resistance.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the material composition and mechanical properties of the dental restorative material, with no mention of AI or ML for design, manufacturing, or analysis.

No
The device is described as a material for constructing cosmetic prosthetic dental restoratives, which falls under restoration rather than therapeutic treatment.

No

The device is a restorative material used to construct cosmetic prosthetic dental restoratives, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical material (layered composite restorative glass strength materials) used to construct dental prosthetics. There is no mention of software as the primary component or function of the device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to construct cosmetic prosthetic dental restoratives for fixed restorations. This is a direct treatment/restoration of a physical structure (teeth), not a diagnostic test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details the material composition and properties of a dental restorative material. It doesn't describe a test or assay used to analyze a biological sample.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status.

This device falls under the category of a dental restorative material, which is a medical device but not an in vitro diagnostic device.
