The device creates a physical barrier between posterior occlusal surfaces and/or anterior incisal edges, preventing damage from grinding and potentially alleviating jaw and muscle pain. It is customized for each patient based on a clinician's prescription. The device is intended for use in a clinical or home setting under the guidance of a healthcare provider. By providing a protective interface, the device mitigates the mechanical wear and stress on dental structures caused by bruxing. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data were submitted. Substantial equivalence is supported by non-clinical bench testing, including biocompatibility (cytotoxicity, sensitization), static compression performance testing, and cleaning validation. ## Technological Characteristics Patient-specific, removable, reusable, non-sterile intraoral splint. Material: Nylon. Function: Physical barrier for posterior occlusal surfaces and/or anterior incisal edges. Biocompatibility per ISO 10993. ## Predicate Devices - SomnoMed Inc., SomnoBrux® Splint(s) ([K102909](/device/K102909.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

It consists of patient-specific splints that fit separately over the upper or lower teeth. The design of the splints is dependent on the patient needs. The device functions as a protective barrier for teeth and restorations by creating physical separation between posterior occlusal surfaces and/or anterior incisal edges which will prevent tooth damage caused by grinding, bruxing and may help alleviate jaw and muscle pain. The device is customized for each patient based on the clinician prescription. - Intended Use The Narval Brux is intended for protection of teeth and restorations from the forces of bruxism. #### Technological - Characteristics Based on the comparative analysis of technological characteristics. Narval Brux and SomnoBrux are substantially equivalent. Both are patient-specific devices which cover posterior occlusal surfaces and/or anterior incisal edges and act as protective barriers for teeth and restorations from the effects of bruxism. Any minor design and material differences do not affect safety and performance. {4}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/4/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for ResMed.
