Intended Use
BisCem is a dual-cure radiopaque dental cement designed to be used as a luting cement. Its physical properties and uses are similar to the predicate device.
Device Story
BisCem is a dual-cured, self-etching, self-adhesive resin luting cement. It bonds to composite, metal, silanated porcelain, and tooth structure without requiring separate adhesive or etching steps. The device is supplied in a dual-syringe system; clinicians mix paste A and paste B using a mixing tip for direct dispensing to the working area. It can be self-cured or light-cured. Used by dental professionals in clinical settings to secure dental restorations (crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, veneers, posts, and orthodontic appliances). The cement provides radiopacity and physical properties similar to existing resin-modified glass ionomer cements, facilitating stable restoration placement.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Biocompatibility testing was performed, confirming the device is non-toxic.
Technological Characteristics
Dual-cured (self/light) resin cement; radiopaque; low-viscosity; dispensable composite; dual-syringe delivery system with mixing tip.
Indications for Use
Indicated for luting metal crowns, bridges, inlays, and onlays (including porcelain-fused-to-metal and composite-to-metal); luting resin crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, and veneers; luting metal or non-metal/fiber posts; and luting orthodontic appliances; and luting porcelain inlays, onlays, crowns, and veneers (including alumina and zirconia).
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Zinc oxide-eugenol is a device composed of zinc oxide-eugenol intended to serve as a temporary tooth filling or as a base cement to affix a temporary tooth filling, to affix dental devices such as crowns or bridges, or to be applied to a tooth to protect the tooth pulp. Dental cement other than zinc oxide-eugenol is a device composed of various materials other than zinc oxide-eugenol intended to serve as a temporary tooth filling or as a base cement to affix a temporary tooth filling, to affix dental devices such as crowns or bridges, or to be applied to a tooth to protect the tooth pulp.

#### Description of Applicant Device:
BisCem is a dual-cured self etching and self adhesive resin cement. It is a self-adhesive cement since it bonds to composite, metal, silanated porcelain and tooth structure without applying any adhesive. No etching step is required to bond to dentin or enamel. With its dual syringe system, BisCem can be self cured by simply mixing paste A and paste B or cured by light after mixing paste A and paste B. Using a mixing tip, the cement could be dispensed to the working area directly. It is intended for use as a luting cement.
### Intended uses of Applicant Device:
BisCem is a dual-cure radiopaque dental cement designed to be used as a luting cement. Its physical properties and uses are similar to the predicate device.
Predicate Devices: BisCem GI cleared under (K032597) dated November 4, 2003.
#### Significant Performance Characteristics:
