Intended Use
PROCLUDE-SENSITIVE is a topical desensitizing dental cream for the management of sensitive teeth. PROCLUDE-SENSITIVE acts as a protective sealant for exposed dentine. The Indications for Use are: 1. Treatment of hypersensitivity associated with exposed root surface dentin. 2. Reduction of abrasion and erosion of exposed cervical dentin.
Device Story
PROCLUDE-SENSITIVE is a topical dental cream applied to teeth to manage sensitivity. It functions as a protective sealant for exposed dentine, covering open dentinal tubules to prevent pain-causing stimuli such as tactile, thermal, evaporative, and osmotic factors. The device is used in a clinical setting by dental professionals to treat hypersensitivity and reduce cervical dentin abrasion and erosion. By sealing the dentinal tubules, the cream provides a barrier that mitigates patient discomfort and protects the tooth surface from further degradation.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Topical dental cream formulated as a cavity varnish/sealant. Functions by coating and sealing exposed dentinal tubules. Class II device (Product Code LBH).
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with sensitive teeth, specifically for the treatment of hypersensitivity associated with exposed root surface dentin and the reduction of abrasion and erosion of exposed cervical dentin.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Cavity varnish is a device that consists of a compound intended to coat a prepared cavity of a tooth before insertion of restorative materials. The device is intended to prevent penetration of restorative materials, such as amalgam, into the dentinal tissue.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device, when it is an external cleaning solution, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 872.9.

Dear Mr. Mitchel:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531
