Device Description
DIMENSION® BITE is classified as an impression material (21 C.F.R. § 872.3660) because it is a device intended to reproduce the structure of a patient's teeth. DIMENSION® BITE is similar in intended use and substantially equivalent to Roydent's polyvinyl siloxane based impression and bite registration material PANASIL® and ESPE's polyvinyl siloxane based impression material DIMENSION® PENTA. The composition of the new DIMENSION® BITE contains the same ingredients as ESPE's DIMENSION® PENTA® impression material except one softening agent which is contained in ESPE's polyether based impression material PERMADYNE® GArant®.

No
The device description and intended use clearly state it is an impression material, and there is no mention of AI, ML, or any computational processing of data.

No
The device is classified as an impression material intended to reproduce the structure of a patient's teeth; it is not designed to treat, cure, or prevent any disease or condition.

No
The device is described as an impression material intended to reproduce the structure of a patient's teeth for bite registration, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device is described as an "impression material" and its description focuses on its chemical composition and physical properties, comparing it to other impression materials. This indicates it is a physical material, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended uses are "Bite registration" and "Intraoral guide pin excursion tracing." These are procedures performed directly on the patient's teeth to record their structure and relationship.
  • Device Description: It is classified as an "impression material" intended to "reproduce the structure of a patient's teeth." This is a physical process of creating a mold of the teeth.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not involve the analysis of bodily specimens.

The description clearly indicates a device used for a physical procedure within the patient's mouth, not for laboratory testing of biological samples.

Device Description

DIMENSION® BITE is classified as an impression material (21 C.F.R. § 872.3660) because it is a device intended to reproduce the structure of a patient's teeth.

DIMENSION® BITE is similar in intended use and substantially equivalent to Roydent's polyvinyl siloxane based impression and bite registration material PANASIL® and ESPE's polyvinyl siloxane based impression material DIMENSION® PENTA.

In recent years ESPE was already marketing a bite registration material tradenamed DIMENSION® BITE in USA. This material is a private label product and manufactured by Kettenbach. The same device is marketed in USA under the name FUTAR® OCCLUSION by Roydent. Roydent holds the 510(k) for the material (K 954281). To be independent from suppliers, ESPE decided to develop an own polyvinyl siloxane based bite registration material which will replace the private label material.

The basis for ESPE's new development is the good experience with its addition type silicone based impression material DIMENSION® PENTA.

The physical and mechanical properties of the new DIMENSION® BITE have been compared to those of the old DIMENSION® BITE (FUTAR® OCCLUSION).

The composition of the new DIMENSION® BITE contains the same ingredients as ESPE's DIMENSION® PENTA® impression material except one softening agent which is contained in ESPE's polyether based impression material PERMADYNE® GArant®.

The above mentioned impression and bite registration materials are well established and considered to be safe and effective.
