Dentemp Pro-Comfort is indicated for protection against nighttime teeth grinding (bruxism). It is intended to reduce damage to teeth and prevent the noise associated with teeth grinding and bruxism.
Dentemp Pro-Comfort Dental Guard is an over-the-counter device to be used by lay people for protection against the effects of nighttime teeth grinding. It is manufactured with a two-shot, injection molded process. The first shot is a hard base of Ethylene Methyl Acrylate material (EMA), which contacts the lower tooth surfaces during grinding and prevents grind-through. The second shot is a soft, moldable surface layer of Ethylene Vinyl Acetate material (EVA), which is formed to hug the upper teeth for a comfortable fit. It is a custom fit dental guard, formed to an individual user's mouth by the traditional heat and form fitting technique. It is a full-occlusal guard worn on the upper teeth, providing a barrier to separate the upper and lower teeth and keep them apart while sleeping, thus reducing the damage to teeth caused by bruxism and preventing the noise associated with teeth grinding.
The provided FDA 510(k) Clearance Letter for the Dentemp Pro-Comfort Dental Guard focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than presenting a performance study against specific acceptance criteria for a novel AI/software medical device.
Therefore, many of the requested details about acceptance criteria, ground truth establishment, sample sizes for training/test sets, expert qualifications, and MRMC studies are not applicable to this type of submission. This document describes a traditional 510(k) for a physical medical device (a dental guard), not an AI/software device.
However, I can extract the information that is present and explain why other details are absent based on the nature of this 510(k) submission.
Analysis based on the Provided Document:
The Dentemp Pro-Comfort Dental Guard is a physical medical device, not an AI/software device. Its approval is based on demonstrating "substantial equivalence" to a legally marketed predicate device, rather than proving performance against quantitative acceptance criteria typical for AI/software in a clinical trial setting.
Therefore, the study performed is a comparative study and in-home use test to demonstrate equivalence, not a standalone performance study with strict numerical acceptance criteria for AI/software metrics.
Here's the breakdown of the available information:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:
The concept of "acceptance criteria" as quantitative metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, F1-score) is not explicitly detailed for this physical device in the manner it would be for an AI/software product. Instead, the "performance" is demonstrated through comparative equivalence and successful real-world use.
Acceptance Criterion (Implicitly for Equivalence) | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|
Material Equivalence: Same materials as predicate. | Met: Subject device uses EMA (hard base) and EVA (soft layer), identical to the predicate device, DenTek's Custom Comfort Nightguard Version 2 (K091660). |
Indications for Use Equivalence: Same intended use as predicate. | Met: Both subject and predicate devices are indicated for protection against nighttime teeth grinding (bruxism), reducing damage to teeth, and preventing noise. |
Technological Characteristics Equivalence: Similar principles of operation (barrier between teeth). | Met: Both function as a flexible barrier/cushion between upper and lower teeth to prevent bruxing damage and noise. Minor design differences (T-bars vs. concave curve for fit) are deemed not to raise new safety/effectiveness concerns. |
Biocompatibility: Meet safety standards for body contact. | Met: Biocompatibility requirements met due to identical materials, formulation, processing, sterilization, and geometry to the legally marketed predicate device. No new biocompatibility testing was conducted by the applicant, relying on the predicate's established biocompatibility. |
Fit Technology Performance (Comparative): Snug custom fit. | Met: A comparative study demonstrated the performance of the T-bars in the subject device (made of EMA) is equivalent to the T-bars in the reference device (Ora-GUARD, K150492, made of polycarbonate) in terms of "dimensional variation after forming." This ensures a snug custom fit. |
Overall Performance (In-Home Use): Ease of forming, fit, comfort, and effectively keeping teeth apart to prevent bruxing. | Met: An "In-Home Use Test" validated the overall performance of the subject device in terms of these criteria. The device was deemed equivalent to the predicate in these aspects. |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:
- Test Set Sample Size:
- Comparative Study (Fit Technology): The document states "A comparison study... demonstrated the performance of the T-Bars... is equivalent to the performance of the T-Bars...". It does not specify the number of devices or subjects included in this comparative study.
- In-Home Use Test: "An In-Home Use Test was conducted on the subject device..." The specific number of participants or duration is not provided in this summary.
- Data Provenance: The document does not specify the country of origin for the data or whether the studies were retrospective or prospective, though "In-Home Use Test" typically implies a prospective design.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth and Qualifications:
- This information is not applicable for this type of medical device and submission. The "ground truth" for a physical dental guard is its physical properties, material composition, and functional performance (e.g., fit, comfort, barrier function) assessed through physical and observational tests rather than expert interpretation of complex data (like radiology images for AI).
- The "validation" of the in-home use test would likely involve user feedback rather than expert-adjudicated ground truth.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
- This information is not applicable. Given that this is a physical device and not an AI/software requiring human interpretation of outputs against a "ground truth," adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 are not relevant.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done:
- No, this was not done. An MRMC study is relevant for AI/software devices that assist human readers (e.g., radiologists, pathologists) in interpreting medical images or data. This submission is for a physical dental guard.
6. If a Standalone (algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- No, this was not done. This concept is only applicable to AI/software algorithms. The "standalone" performance for this device would refer to its physical properties and mechanical function, which are assessed via the comparative study and in-home use test.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:
- For Material and Design Equivalence: The ground truth is the specified material composition (EMA, EVA) and design features of both the subject and predicate/reference devices, established through engineering specifications and potentially material analysis.
- For Fit Technology Performance: The ground truth is presumably quantitative measurements of dimensional variation after forming, demonstrating that the subject device achieves a fit comparable to the reference device.
- For In-Home Use Test: The ground truth is user experience and self-reported outcomes regarding ease of forming, fit, comfort, and perceived effectiveness in preventing bruxing. This is based on direct observation of functional performance and patient subjective feedback.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:
- This information is not applicable. "Training set" refers to data used to train machine learning models. This is a physical device.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established:
- This information is not applicable for the same reason as point 8.

The Anti Grinding Guard is a mouth guard intended to protect against grinding and clenching.
The Anti Grinding Guard is an over-the-counter (OTC), flexible and moldable one-piece dental mouth guard, which is used as a barrier between teeth for individual s who grind their teeth. The anti Grinding Guard is intended to be worn while sleeping. The guard is constructed of 100% thermoplastic ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer. When heated it forms to the individual's teeth. It is non-flavored and has no color additives. The mouth guard Is one model/size, is reusable by a single individual at least eighteen (18) years of age and is supplied as non-sterile.
The provided text is a 510(k) Pre-market Notification for a medical device called "Anti Grinding Guard." This type of submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device rather than undergoing a new, independent set of clinical efficacy studies. Therefore, much of the requested information about acceptance criteria, detailed study designs, sample sizes, and expert adjudication for proving efficacy is not typically found in these documents.
However, I can extract information related to the non-clinical testing performed to support the substantial equivalence claim.
Here's a breakdown of the available information:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:
The document doesn't explicitly state "acceptance criteria" in a quantitative table with specific target values and reported performance for each criterion in the way a clinical trial might. Instead, it states that "The non-clinical testing of Anti Grinding Guard demonstrates the device's performance in providing including hardness, water absorption and solubility testing, boiling/cooling water testing, impression test, separation test, and comparative wear test, which supports its substantial equivalence to the predicate device."
It implies that the "acceptance criteria" for these tests were met if the results demonstrated performance comparable to the predicate device and compliance with "pertinent standards and specifications."
Test Performed | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|
Hardness | Demonstrated performance to support substantial equivalence |
Water Absorption and Solubility Testing | Demonstrated performance to support substantial equivalence |
Boiling/Cooling Water Testing | Demonstrated performance to support substantial equivalence |
Impression Test | Demonstrated performance to support substantial equivalence |
Separation Test | Demonstrated performance to support substantial equivalence |
Comparative Wear Test | Demonstrated performance to support substantial equivalence |
Biocompatibility: Cytotoxicity | Met the requirements of the study protocols; considered non-toxic |
Biocompatibility: Oral Mucosa Irritation | Met the requirements of the study protocols; not an intracutaneous irritant |
Biocompatibility: Skin Sensitization | Met the requirements of the study protocols; considered non-sensitizing |
Biocompatibility: Acute systemic toxicity | Met the requirements of the study protocols |
Biocompatibility: Sub chronic systemic toxicity | Met the requirements of the study protocols |
Biocompatibility: Genotoxicity | Met the requirements of the study protocols |
2. Sample sizes used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective):
The document does not provide specific sample sizes for the non-clinical tests. It doesn't specify the country of origin of the data or whether the tests were retrospective or prospective; these details are typically not included in a 510(k) summary for non-clinical testing unless directly relevant to a specific regulatory standard.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience):
This information is not applicable to the non-clinical bench testing described. "Ground truth" and "experts" are concepts usually associated with clinical studies or performance evaluation where human interpretation of data is involved (e.g., image analysis, diagnosis). The non-clinical tests focus on material properties and physical performance.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
This is not applicable to the non-clinical bench testing. Adjudication methods are typically used in clinical studies where multiple human evaluators assess outcomes that may be subjective.
5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:
This is not applicable. The device is a physical "Anti Grinding Guard," not an AI diagnostic or assistance tool that would involve human readers.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
This is not applicable, as the device is a physical product, not an algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
For the non-clinical tests, the "ground truth" would be established by objective measurements and standardized testing procedures to determine material properties and performance characteristics according to relevant international standards (e.g., ISO 10993 for biocompatibility) and engineering principles. The document states that the testing demonstrated compliance with "pertinent standards and specifications" and met "the requirements of the study protocols."
8. The sample size for the training set:
This is not applicable. There is no "training set" as this is a physical medical device, not a machine learning algorithm.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
This is not applicable for the same reason as point 8.

The Mouth Guard is indicated for protection against bruxism or nighttime teeth grinding. It is intended to reduce damage to the teeth and reduce the noise associated with bruxing or grinding.
The Mouth Guard is an over-the-counter (OTC) device to be used by lay people for protection against the effects of nighttime teeth grinding. The guard is constructed of a thermoplastic ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and is fitted by molding the bite pads to the user's teeth after the guard has been heated via submersion in boiled water. The fully occlusive guard is worn on the upper teeth, maintaining separation between the upper and lower teeth, thereby reducing the noise and damage associated with teeth grinding.
This document is a 510(k) summary for a Mouth Guard device, not a typical diagnostic AI or image analysis device that would be evaluated with specific metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or improvement with AI assistance. Therefore, many of the requested points regarding acceptance criteria and study details (e.g., ground truth, MRMC study, sample size for test/training sets, number of experts, adjudication methods) are not applicable to the information provided in this document.
The Mouth Guard is a physical device, and its acceptance criteria and performance are based on bench testing (non-clinical) rather than clinical studies or the analysis of medical images by AI.
Here's an analysis of the provided text based on the questions, highlighting what is (and isn't) present:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
The document does not provide a formal table of acceptance criteria with specific numerical thresholds and corresponding performance values for the Mouth Guard. Instead, it states that "Bench testing has demonstrated that the device is in compliance with pertinent standards and specifications, the expectations of the dental community and the product labeling."
It lists the types of performance tests conducted:
- Hardness
- Tear strength
- Impact and rebound
- Water absorption
- Impression test
- Separation test
- Stability test
It also lists biocompatibility tests:
- Cytotoxicity
- Oral Mucosa Irritation
- Skin Sensitization
- Acute systemic toxicity
- Sub chronic systemic toxicity
- Genotoxicity
The reported performance is a qualitative statement: "The non-clinical testing of Mouth Guard demonstrates the device's performance in providing including hardness, tear strength, impact and rebound, and water absorption, which supports its substantial equivalence to the predicate device." And for biocompatibility: "The results of the testing met the requirements of the study protocols and the material is considered non-toxic, non-sensitizing and is not an intracutaneous irritant. The results of the studies further support a determination of substantial equivalence to the predicate."
2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
This information is not provided because the submission did not include a clinical study or a "test set" in the context of AI/ML evaluation. The testing was non-clinical (bench testing) and biocompatibility testing. No mention of data provenance like country of origin or retrospective/prospective nature is made for these types of tests in this document.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)
Not applicable. As this is a physical device measured through bench tests and biocompatibility, there are no "experts" establishing ground truth in the sense of medical image interpretation. Performance is measured against physical standards and parameters.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
Not applicable. There is no "test set" or adjudication process described for the evaluation of this physical device.
5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device, and no MRMC study was conducted.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert concensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
For the non-clinical tests, the "ground truth" would be established physical standards, material specifications, and validated test methods for properties like hardness, tear strength, and biocompatibility. It's not "expert consensus" or pathology outcomes as would be seen in diagnostic claim evaluations.
8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable. There is no concept of a "training set" for this kind of physical device submission.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable. There is no concept of a "training set" for this kind of physical device submission.
In summary, the provided document is a 510(k) clearance letter for a non-AI/ML medical device (a mouth guard). The substantial equivalence determination is based on a comparison to predicate devices and non-clinical bench testing. The nature of the device and the submission means that most of the questions relating to AI/ML device evaluation criteria are not applicable.

The FBCC Night Guard is indicated for protection of teeth and restorations against grinding and clenching.
The FBCC Night Guard is a mouth guard used as a barrier between teeth for nighttime teeth grinding by creating physical separation between upper and lower tooth surfaces preventing tooth damage caused by bruxism (e.g., grinding and clenching).
This document describes an FDA 510(k) clearance for the FBCC Night Guard. It is a submission that declares the device is "substantially equivalent" to predicate devices, meaning it does not introduce new questions of safety or effectiveness. As such, the information provided focuses on demonstrating this equivalence rather than detailing an extensive clinical study with specific acceptance criteria and performance metrics for a novel AI device.
Therefore, many of the requested elements (e.g., acceptance criteria for AI performance, sample size for test sets, expert-established ground truth, MRMC studies, standalone AI performance, training set details) are not applicable to this type of regulatory submission, as the FBCC Night Guard is a physical medical device (a mouth guard), not an AI-powered diagnostic or therapeutic device.
However, I can extract the relevant information regarding the performance testing that was conducted to support its substantial equivalence:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
Since this is a physical device and a 510(k) submission based on substantial equivalence, there are no "acceptance criteria" in the traditional sense of a specified performance metric (e.g., accuracy, sensitivity, specificity) for an AI algorithm. Instead, the "acceptance criteria" were implied to be the demonstration of similarity to legally marketed predicate devices and satisfactory non-clinical performance.
Criterion Type | Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|---|
Substantial Equivalence | Device must be substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate device, demonstrating similar indications for use, technological characteristics, and safety/effectiveness without raising new questions of safety or effectiveness. | The FBCC Night Guard was found substantially equivalent to the Bright Guard (K181099) and the JS Dental Lab Mouth Guard (K210011). Similarities were established in: |
- Product Code (OBR)
- Classification Panel (Dental)
- Device Class (Unclassified)
- OTC or Rx (OTC, same as predicate)
- Anatomical Sites (maxillary or mandibular teeth)
- Sterile (Non-Sterile)
- Patient Removable (Yes)
- Mechanism of Action (Disocclusion)
- Indications for Use (protection of teeth and restorations against grinding and clenching). |
| Material Safety | Material must be suitable for its intended use and not introduce new risks. | The FBCC Night Guard uses Thermoplastic Polyurethane or Ethylene-Vinylacetate. The predicate uses Thermoplastic resin (Propylene Elastomer: ethylene-vinylacetate [Elvax]). The submission states: "While these are not identical polymers, each material is a known dental thermoplastic polymer with similar characteristics. The use of thermoplastic polyurethane does not introduce or reduce any risks when compared to the other." |
| Manufacturing Process | Manufacturing process must be appropriate and not introduce new risks. | The FBCC Night Guard is Thermoforming. The predicate (Bright Guard) is Injection Molding, and the reference device (JS Dental Lab Mouth Guard) is Thermoforming. The submission states: "While these are not identical processes, both are commonly used to create mouth guards and other dental devices... The use of thermoforming does not increase the risk associated with manufacturing." An internal manufacturing validation demonstrated "dimensional accuracy of the manufacturing process" and "robustness of the process... from 3D printing through thermoforming." |
| Durability Testing | Must demonstrate suitability for the intended period of use under simulated real-world conditions. | "Durability testing was completed on these night guards. Real world use was simulated to ensure that the Night Guard material and manufacturing process produced Night Guards that were suitable for the intended period of use." (Specific quantitative results or "acceptance criteria" for durability are not provided in this summary document, but the statement indicates it passed this internal testing). |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
This information is not applicable as there was no AI test set with case data. The testing mentioned (durability, manufacturing validation) would be internal laboratory testing on physical prototypes/products.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)
Not applicable. This device is a physical mouth guard, not an AI diagnostic/imaging device requiring expert interpretation for ground truth.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
Not applicable. No AI test set or clinical image review was performed for this 510(k) submission.
5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
Not applicable. This is a physical device, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
Not applicable. There is no algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
Not applicable. As a physical device submission focused on substantial equivalence, the "ground truth" for the claims rested on:
- Comparison of specifications to legally marketed predicate devices.
- Results of non-clinical, mechanical, and material testing (e.g., durability, dimensional validation).
- Scientific literature supporting the use of the materials and mechanism of action for night guards.
8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable. There is no AI model or training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable. There is no AI model or training set.
Summary of the Study Proving the Device Meets Criteria (Based on Provided Document):
The "study" proving the device met the criteria for 510(k) clearance was primarily a demonstration of substantial equivalence to existing predicate devices already on the market. This involved:
- Comparison of Technical Characteristics: A detailed comparison table (Table 1) was presented, highlighting similarities in product code, classification, device class, OTC status, anatomical sites, sterility, patient removability, indications for use, and mechanism of action with the Bright Guard (K181099) and JS Dental Lab Mouth Guard (K210011).
- Material Equivalence: Although different specific polymers (thermoplastic polyurethane vs. thermoplastic resin), the submission argued both are "known dental thermoplastic polymer with similar characteristics" and introduce no new risks.
- Manufacturing Process Equivalence: While the subject device uses thermoforming and the primary predicate uses injection molding, the submission highlighted that thermoforming is also used by the reference device and is a "commonly used" method that "does not increase the risk."
- Non-Clinical Performance Testing:
- Durability Testing: Simulated real-world use was conducted to ensure the night guards were suitable for the intended period of use. (Specific quantitative results were not detailed in this summary).
- Manufacturing Validation: An internal validation was performed to check the dimensional accuracy and robustness of the manufacturing process (3D printing through thermoforming).
- Conclusion: Based on these comparisons and non-clinical tests, the FDA determined the FBCC Night Guard to be "substantially equivalent" to the predicate devices, and therefore, no clinical studies were deemed necessary to demonstrate its safety and effectiveness.

The relevant sections of the document describe:
- Substantial Equivalence Discussion: This is the core of the submission, comparing the subject device to a predicate (DenTek Oral Care, Inc.'s Ready-Fit Disposable Dental Guard - K151149) and a reference device (DenTek Oral Care, Inc.'s Custom Comfort Nightguard Version 2 - K091660) across various characteristics like manufacturer, 510(k) #, device classification, regulation #, product code, regulatory class, description, packaging, design, indications for use, OTC/Rx status, user population, technological characteristics, duration of use, materials, physical properties (tensile strength, elongation, hardness, melt index, density), fit, dimensions, weight, sterilization, and cleaning method.
- Non-Clinical Performance Testing: This section details "bench testing" and "biocompatibility testing."
- Bench Testing: An "in-home use test (IHUT)" was conducted to validate the design and performance expectations, specifically verifying reusability. The document references "Section 18: Bench Testing, Attachment 4A: Bench Test Protocol, 4B: Bench Test Engineering Study, and Attachment 4C: Bench Test Data" which are not provided in the given text.
- Biocompatibility Testing: Four tests were performed according to ISO standards: In-vitro Cytotoxicity (ISO 10993-5:2009(E)), Skin Sensitization (ISO 10993-10:2021(E)), Intracutaneous Reactivity (ISO 10993-23:2021(E)), and Oral Mucosa Irritation (ISO 10993-23:2021(E)). The results indicated the device was non-cytotoxic, non-sensitizer, non-reactive, and non-irritant, respectively.
In summary, the provided document is a regulatory submission for substantial equivalence of a physical dental guard, not a study proving an AI/ML device meets acceptance criteria through a rigorous test set and expert review. Therefore, I cannot extract the specific information requested in your prompt.

Protection against bruxism or nighttime teeth grinding
Reduce damage to the teeth and to prevent the noise associated with bruxing or grinding
Protection against teeth grinding, bruxism, and jaw clenching
Short-term pain relief from muscle spasm due to occlusal interference
Prevention of chronic tension and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) syndrome that is caused by chronic jaw clenching of the mandibular and maxillary teeth by the temporalis muscle
The subject devices, the SleepRight® ProRx® + Custom Dental Guard (K212706) and the SleepRight® ProRx® Custom Dental Guard (K212706) are the second-generation quard to the SleepRight® ProRx™ Custom Dental Guard (K172223). Both subject devices (K212706) are completely identical to each other, except for the material that makes up the internal core of each guard. The subject devices (K212706) are both a full occlusal custom formable protector that acts as a barrier between the upper and lower teeth to protect the teeth against bruxism or nighttime teeth grinding. The subject devices (K212706) both contain the exact same horizontal core design with a vertical sectional lattice structure, primarily wrapping around the labial and buccal side of the teeth, as well as around the lingual posterior side of the teeth. The core and lattice are fully encapsulated by a moldable thermoplastic material in both guards. The guards are designed to be fit using the exact same method to heat the guard in hot (not boiling) water until it becomes malleable and can be formed to the consumers upper teeth. To achieve a custom fit, the guard is inserted into the mouth and the side walls/lattice are gently pushed to surround the teeth. The lattice retains the malleable material up against the teeth until the device hardens in approximately four minutes.
The provided text describes performance testing for the SleepRight® ProRx® + Custom Dental Guard and SleepRight® ProRx® Custom Dental Guard.

Study Details
The provided text describes several types of studies performed, primarily comparative evaluations.
-
Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Material Properties (Tensile Strength, Flexural Strength, Flexural Modulus, Elongation, Shore D Hardness): The document reports that these tests were performed on "the subject devices" and "predicate devices." No specific sample sizes for these tests are mentioned. The provenance of the data is not specified (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective).
- Biocompatibility (Cytotoxicity, Sensitization, Irritation): No specific sample sizes (e.g., number of cell lines, animal subjects) are given. The provenance of the data is not specified.
- Wear and Abrasion Resistance: The "longevity of the guards was evaluated by comparing the number of 'bruxing' cycles that the guards could withstand before failure." No specific sample size (i.e., number of guards tested) is provided. The provenance of the data is not specified.
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- The document does not mention the involvement of experts for establishing ground truth in any of the described tests. The tests appear to be laboratory-based evaluations against established standards (ASTM, ISO) or comparative performance evaluations, where the "ground truth" is defined by the test procedure itself (e.g., cytotoxicity grade, skin reaction score, number of bruxing cycles to failure).
-
Adjudication method:
- Not applicable as no human assessment or consensus-based ground truth establishment is described.
-
If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:
- An MRMC study is not relevant here as the device is a dental guard, not an AI-assisted diagnostic or decision support system for human readers.
-
If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not an algorithm. The reported performance refers to the device itself.
-
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
- For material properties and biocompatibility, the "ground truth" is defined by the validated testing methodologies and acceptance criteria specified in international standards (ASTM, ISO).
- For wear and abrasion resistance, the "ground truth" is defined by the number of "bruxing" cycles to failure observed during the test, with comparative analysis against other devices.
-
The sample size for the training set:
- Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not a machine learning model that requires a training set.
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable, as there is no training set for this type of device.

Not Found
I apologize, but the provided text only contains an FDA 510(k) clearance letter for the NTI ClenchGuard device. It does not include information about acceptance criteria, study details, device performance data, sample sizes, ground truth establishment, or expert qualifications.
The letter explicitly states that the device is "substantially equivalent" to legally marketed predicate devices. This means that the FDA reviewed how the NTI ClenchGuard compares to existing devices for the same intended use. The letter does not detail any novel studies conducted to prove the device meets specific acceptance criteria in the way you've described for an AI/algorithm-based device.
Therefore, I cannot fulfill your request to describe the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them based on the information provided.

The DenTek™ Fresh Protect™ Dental Guard is indicated for protection against bruxism or nighttime teeth grinding. It is intended to reduce damage to the teeth and reduce the noise associated with bruxing or grinding.
The DenTek™ Fresh Protect™ Dental Guard is an over-the-counter (OTC) device to be used by lay people for protection against the effects of nighttime teeth grinding. The guard is constructed of an ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer and utilizes a ready-to-wear, one-size-fits-all design. The fully occlusive guard is worn on the lower teeth, maintaining separation between the upper and lower teeth, thereby preventing the noise and damage associated with teeth grinding.
This document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification from the FDA for a dental guard, not a study evaluating an AI/ML device. Therefore, the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, study details, expert involvement, and ground truth for an AI/ML device is not present.
The document discusses the substantial equivalence of the DenTek™ Fresh Protect™ Dental Guard to a predicate device based on non-clinical performance data and biocompatibility tests.
Here is a summary of the non-clinical performance data presented for the DenTek™ Fresh Protect™ Dental Guard:
Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance (Non-Clinical)
Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance |
