Intended Use
Intended to restore carious lesions or structural defects in teeth. It is intended for use in cavities Classes I, II, and V (inlays and onlays) and as a restorative material intended for veneers, crowns and bridges.
Device Description
Denzir™ is a zirconium dioxide-yttrium oxide ceramic, capable of machining by modern methods. The dentist prepares the tooth surfaces, sends a properly prepared impression of those surfaces to the dental laboratory where it is scanned and an inlay or onlay prepared by modern computerized lathe methods and returned to the dentist. The dentist then finally prepares the tooth surfaces involved and cements (lutes) the inlay or onlay in place with standard dental adhesives (luting) materials.Denzir™ inlays are alternatives to gold, amalgam, porcelain, or composite filling materials, except that their application more closely resembles gold inlays or porcelain inlays, onlays or veneers in that they are actually prepared in a dental laboratory. The material is radio-opaque, for ready visualization.

No
The description focuses on the material properties and manufacturing process (computerized lathe methods) of the dental restoration, with no mention of AI or ML for analysis, diagnosis, or treatment planning.

No
The device, Denzir™, is a dental restorative material used to restore structural defects in teeth, such as inlays, onlays, veneers, crowns, and bridges. Its purpose is to physically replace missing or damaged tooth structure, which is a restorative function, not a therapeutic one that treats disease or provides biological therapy.

No

The device is described as a restorative material (zirconium dioxide-yttrium oxide ceramic) used to restore carious lesions or structural defects in teeth, rather than to diagnose medical conditions or diseases.

No

The device description clearly states it is a ceramic material (zirconium dioxide-yttrium oxide) and is physically prepared in a dental laboratory using computerized lathe methods. This indicates a physical, hardware-based device, not software only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to restore carious lesions or structural defects in teeth. This is a direct treatment of a physical condition within the body (in vivo).
  • Device Description: The device is a ceramic material used to create dental restorations (inlays, onlays, veneers, crowns, bridges) that are placed in the patient's mouth.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples like blood, urine, tissue, etc., outside of the body (in vitro) to diagnose or monitor conditions. This device is a restorative material used directly on the patient's teeth.

§ 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.

I. Classification Names and numbers: Material, tooth shade resin, 76EBF, Class II.

Porcelain powder for clinical use, 76EIH, Class II.

  • II. Common/Usual Name: Dental restorative material, porcelain powder/blocks
  • III. Proprietary Names: Denzir™

IV. Establishment Registration Number: Foreign, in process

V. Classification: These are Class II devices, intended to restore carious lesions or structural defects in teeth, described in CFR 872.3690. Like porcelain powder, this device is delivered in final form for use by the dentist, and is ceramic in nature. Porcelain powder is described in CFR 872.6660.

VI. Device Description: Denzir™ is a zirconium dioxide-yttrium oxide ceramic, capable of machining by modern methods. The dentist prepares the tooth surfaces, sends a properly prepared impression of those surfaces to the dental laboratory where it is scanned and an inlay or onlay prepared by modern computerized lathe methods and returned to the dentist. The dentist then finally prepares the tooth surfaces involved and cements (lutes) the inlay or onlay in place with standard dental adhesives (luting) materials.Denzir™ inlays are alternatives to gold, amalgam, porcelain, or composite filling materials, except that their application more closely resembles gold inlays or porcelain inlays, onlays or veneers in that they are actually prepared in a dental laboratory. The material is radio-opaque, for ready visualization.

VII. Substantial Equivalence: The "510(k) "Substantial Equivalence" Decision-Making Process (Detailed) from ODE Guidance Memorandum #86-3 was followed as described below:

  1. These products have the same intended use, to restore carious lesions or structural defects in teeth and are used as inlays, and onlays,

  2. The technological characteristics for this product are similar to those for the predicate devices and those currently on the market except for differences in methods of use. The technological features, although distinct, have the same intended use as the devices listed as equivalent.

  3. Descriptive information provided shows that the materials from which Denzir™ are made are well established as the basis of many different kinds of implants, mainly more demanding than is the mouth. Denzir™ is equivalent in use and properties to devices described in K-973221, K-971869, and K-943168.
