rainbow™ Trans is used in the manufacture of a dental core.
Device Story
rainbow™ Trans is a partially sintered dental ceramic block composed of colored ZrO2 (3Y-TZP). The device is used by dental professionals in a laboratory or clinical setting to manufacture dental cores. The process involves milling the preformed block into the desired core shape using CAD/CAM or MAD/MAM systems, followed by sintering in a furnace to harden the zirconia. Once hardened, the core is layered with porcelain to create a finished artificial tooth. The device provides a structural foundation for dental restorations, benefiting patients by enabling the creation of durable, biocompatible prosthetic teeth.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Evidence consists of bench testing performed according to ISO 6872:2008 and biocompatibility testing per ISO 10993. Bench tests confirmed flexural strength (902 MPa), chemical solubility (9 µg/cm²), radioactivity levels, and thermal expansion meet established specifications. Biocompatibility testing (cytotoxicity, sensitization, oral mucosa irritation, acute systemic toxicity, and genotoxicity) confirmed the material is non-toxic and non-sensitizing.
Technological Characteristics
Material: ZrO2 (3Y-TZP, 3mol% Yttria Tetragonal Zirconia Polycrystal). Form: Preformed block. Sintering density: 6.00-6.04 g/cm³. Flexural strength: 902 MPa. Chemical solubility: 9 µg/cm². Sterilization: Non-sterile. Complies with ISO 6872:2008 (Type II Class 6 dental ceramic) and ISO 10993 standards.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use in the manufacture of dental cores for artificial teeth in 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.
