Intended Use

Embrace™ Dual Cure Composite Materials are multi-purpose, hydrophilic, fluoride-releasing, resin-based materials that contain no Bisphenol A and bond tightly to dentition. Embrace™ Dual Cure Composite Materials are used to permanently cement dental posts, porcelain crowns, inlays, onlays, bridges, porcelain/laminate veneers and periodontal splints, to repair porcelain crowns intra-orally and as a build-up and repair material.

Device Story

Embrace™ Dual Cure Composite Materials are multi-purpose, hydrophilic, fluoride-releasing, resin-based dental materials; Bisphenol A-free. Used by dental professionals for permanent cementation of restorations (posts, crowns, inlays, onlays, bridges, veneers, splints), intra-oral porcelain repair, and tooth build-up. Material bonds to dentition; dual-cure mechanism allows for polymerization. Benefits include high benefit-to-risk ratio and established safety profile for dental restorative materials.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is based on comparison to legally marketed predicate devices and historical safety data for dental restorative materials cited from NIH Technology Assessment Conference.

Technological Characteristics

Hydrophilic, fluoride-releasing, resin-based composite material. Dual-cure polymerization mechanism. Bisphenol A-free formulation. Classified as tooth shade resin material under 21 CFR 872.3690.

Indications for Use

Indicated for permanent cementation of dental posts, porcelain crowns, inlays, onlays, bridges, porcelain/laminate veneers, and periodontal splints; intra-oral repair of porcelain crowns; and as a dental build-up and repair material. No specific patient population age or gender restrictions provided.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

Tooth shade resin material is a device composed of materials such as bisphenol-A glycidyl methacrylate (Bis-GMA) intended to restore carious lesions or structural defects in teeth.

#### DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE:

Embrace™ Dual Cure Composite Materials are multi-purpose, hydrophilic, fluoride-releasing, resin-based materials that contain no Bisphenol A and bond tightly to dentition.

Embrace™ Dual Cure Composite Materials are used to permanently cement dental posts, porcelain crowns, inlays, onlays, bridges, porcelain/laminate veneers and periodontal splints, to repair porcelain crowns intra-orally and as a build-up and repair material.

#### COMPARISON WITH PREDICATE PRODUCTS:

PULPDENT DUAL CURE COMPOSITE MATERIALS are substantially equivalent in design, composition, performance, intended use, safety and effectiveness to the predicate products listed above.

#### SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS:

PULPDENT DUAL CURE COMPOSITE MATERIALS are substantially equivalent in design, composition, performance, intended use, safety and effectiveness to the predicate products listed above. The predicate products have been found substantially equivalent under the 510/k) Premarket Notification process as Class II Dental Devices under CFR 872.3690, 872.3275 and 872.3765.

According to the NIH Technology Assessment Conference on Effects and Side-Effects of Dental Restorative Materials: "General usage of these materials over about 20 years indicates a high benefit-torisk ratio...both composites and glass ionomers are relatively trouble-free. There is no evidence of shortterm or long-term risk...There is no suspicion of any problems after virtually billions of procedures in the United States."

Dear Mr. Berk:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and 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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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 (PMA), 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 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
