Intended Use
to promote strong bonds to enamel and dentin for a) direct restorative materials such as composite resins, compomers, amalgam, and b) resins cements used in the bonding of indirect restorative materials, such as ceramic veneers, inlays, and crowns. to seal dentinal tubules to reduce sensitivity due to exposed tubules in abrasion/erosion lesions of teeth to promote bonds between incremental layers of composite resins when building a composite restoration to bond composite resins repairs to ceramics and metals
Device Description
Adhere is an adhesive system used for the bonding of directly and indirectly placed restorative materials to tooth structure. It consists of surface conditioners, primers, an adhesive resin, initiators and accessories for applying the components to tooth surfaces. After tooth conditioning, a primer is applied, and an adhesive resin overlayer is subsequently placed on the surface to interact with restorative materials. Other primers are used for surface reactions with indirect restorative materials.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a dental adhesive system and its components, with no mention of AI or ML technology.

No
The device is described as an adhesive system used in dental restorations and does not indicate a therapeutic intent beyond bonding and sealing dentinal tubules to reduce sensitivity, which is a structural rather than therapeutic function.

No

The device description and intended use indicate that Adhere is an adhesive system used for bonding restorative materials to tooth structure, sealing dentinal tubules, and reducing sensitivity. These are therapeutic or restorative functions, not diagnostic ones. There is no mention of identifying, detecting, or measuring a medical condition or disease.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of physical components like surface conditioners, primers, adhesive resin, initiators, and accessories, which are not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices intended for use in vitro for the examination of specimens derived from the human body solely or principally for the purpose of providing information concerning a physiological or pathological state, or concerning a congenital abnormality, or to monitor therapeutic measures.
  • Device's Intended Use: The intended use of "Adhere" is to promote bonding of restorative materials to tooth structure, seal dentinal tubules, reduce sensitivity, and bond composite repairs. These are all procedures performed directly on the patient's tooth within the oral cavity.
  • Device Description: The description details a system of surface conditioners, primers, and adhesive resins applied to tooth surfaces. This is a direct application to the patient's anatomy, not an examination of a specimen outside the body.

The device is clearly intended for direct clinical use in dentistry, not for laboratory testing of human specimens.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

Adhere is used to bond restorative materials to enamel and dentin. The materials include composites, compomers, amalgam, ceramic veneers and ceramic inlays. In addition, Adhere is used to seal dentin, and reduce tooth sensitivity in non-bacterial mediated cervical lesions of teeth. Adhere is also used to promote composite bonds to ceramics and metals.
