Intended Use

Allux® is a dental silicate-glass ceramic that can be used by dental technicians to fabricate all-ceramic restorations by veneering aluminium oxide (Al2O3) frameworks. The coefficient of thermal expansion [CTE (25 - 500°C)] of these aluminium oxide (Al₂O₃) frameworks had to equal approximately 8.0 x 10˚K¹ .

Device Story

Allux is a dental porcelain system comprising 127 ceramic powders; used by professional dental technicians to fabricate all-ceramic dental restorations. Device functions as a veneering material for alumina oxide (Al2O3) frameworks with a specific coefficient of thermal expansion (approx. 8 x 10⁻⁶ K⁻¹). Technicians apply the ceramic powders to frameworks to create aesthetic dental appliances. Output is a finished dental restoration; used to restore patient dentition. Benefits include improved aesthetic results for all-ceramic dental appliances.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Device meets requirements of ISO 6872:1995 "Dental ceramic". No clinical data provided.

Technological Characteristics

Silicate-glass ceramic powder system. Composed of 127 ceramic powders including liners, dentines, modifiers, incisals, and stains. Designed for veneering alumina oxide (Al2O3) frameworks with a CTE of approximately 8 x 10⁻⁶ K⁻¹. Complies with ISO 6872:1995 standards.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use by professional dental technicians to fabricate all-ceramic dental restorations by veneering alumina oxide (Al2O3) frameworks for patients requiring dental prosthetics.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

Porcelain powder for clinical use is a device consisting of a mixture of kaolin, felspar, quartz, or other substances intended for use in the production of artificial teeth in fixed or removable dentures, of jacket crowns, facings, and veneers. The device is used in prosthetic dentistry by heating the powder mixture to a high temperature in an oven to produce a hard prosthesis with a glass-like finish.
