No
The device description and intended use clearly define it as a dental filling material, with no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology that would incorporate AI/ML.

No.
A therapeutic device is one that treats a disease or condition. This device is a dental filling material used to restore teeth, but it does not "treat" a disease.

No

The device is a composite filling material used for restorative dental procedures, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "light-curing, radiopaque ceramic microhybrid composite filling material," which is a physical substance, 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 used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states that Arabesk® Top is a "light-curing, radiopaque ceramic microhybrid composite filling material" used for "anterior and posterior applications, as well as for inlay techniques." Its intended uses are all related to restoring and modifying teeth directly within the patient's mouth.
  • No Mention of Samples or Testing: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze samples or perform any kind of diagnostic test on biological material.

Therefore, Arabesk® Top is a dental restorative material used for direct application in the mouth, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

TECHNOLOGICAL COMPARISON BETWEEN SUBJECT AND PREDICATE DEVICES

Arabesk Top, Tetric Ceram, and Charisma are all single-component, lightcuring composite filling materials that are composed of inorganic silicates ( 72-77%, w/w), methacrylates (~20-22%, w/w), photoinitiators and pigments (~1%. w/w). The subject and predicate devices are substantially alike with respect to such performance properties as compressive strength, polymerization shrinkage, color stability, and resistance to abrasion.

SUMMARY OF PRECLINICAL PERFORMANCE STUDIES AND CONCLUSIONS FROM PRECLINICAL PERFORMANCE STUDIES

Arabesk Top is formulated from chemical components that are commonly associated with currently marketed dental composite materials.

The chemistry of Arabesk Top raises no new issues or questions that effect safety, effectiveness, or biocompatibility for a dental composite product.
