Intended Use
Final cementation of ceramic, composite, or metal inlays, onlays, crowns, bridges, posts, and screws. Final cementation of ceramic, composite, or metal restorations on implant abutments. Permament cementation of ceramic or composite veneers.
Device Story
EDS Universal Cement is an automix, dual-curing, self-adhesive resin cement used by dentists to affix ceramic, composite, or metal restorations to tooth surfaces (dentin/enamel) or implant abutments. The device eliminates the need for separate etchants or bonding agents. It consists of two pastes (base and catalyst) containing dimethacrylate resins, inorganic fillers (60% wt), and a photoinitiator system, packaged in a 5 mL dual-barreled syringe. The clinician dispenses the material via the automix system and applies it to the restoration; the cement cures via chemical reaction and/or light activation. The resulting bond provides radiopacity and resistance to mechanical stress and water damage. The device benefits patients by providing a stable, durable fixation for dental prosthetics.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only. Biocompatibility testing performed per ISO 10993-5 (cytotoxicity), ISO 10993-10 (sensitization), ISO 10993-6 (implantation), and ISO 10993-3 (genotoxicity). Performance testing included comparative shear bond strength to dentin, enamel, zirconia, and lithium disilicate surfaces. Fluoride release testing showed no fluoride release over 7 days.
Technological Characteristics
Automix, dual-curing, self-adhesive resin cement. Composition: dimethacrylate resins, 60% wt inorganic filler, photoinitiator. Form factor: 5 mL dual-barreled syringe. Non-sterile. Shelf-life: 2 years. Radiopaque.
Indications for Use
Indicated for final cementation of ceramic, composite, or metal inlays, onlays, crowns, bridges, posts, screws, and restorations on implant abutments, as well as permanent cementation of ceramic or composite veneers.

{5}------------------------------------------------
EDS Universal Cement is similar to the predicate devices Unicem HM and Calibra™ in that they are all automix, self-adhesive, dual-curing resin cements intended for ceramic, composite, or metal restorations. All devices are paste/paste systems with similar filler ratios. EDS Universal Cement is also similar to Calibra™ in that they are intended for the cementation of veneers.
EDS Universal Cement is different from the predicate devices in the number and type of shades available. EDS Universal Cement is also different from Unicem HM in that Unicem HM does not have an intended use for the cementation of veneers. The subject device and primary predicate have slightly different Indications for Use language. However, the difference in language does not change the intended use or substantial equivalence.
All of the components found in the predicate devices have been used in legally marketed devices. We believe that prior use of components in legally marketed devices, the performance and biocompatibility data provided support the substantial equivalence of EDS Universal Cement for the indicated uses.
### 7. Discussion of Non-Clinical Tests Performed for Determination of Substantial Equivalence are as Follows:
Testing of biocompatibility, physical properties, and adhesion to dentin and ceramic surfaces were conducted to determine equivalence of EDS Universal Cement to the predicate device Unicem HM.
Equivalence in safety to the predicate device was demonstrated by conducting four biocompatibility tests:
- Cytotoxicity testing according to ISO 10993-5
- Sensitization testing according to ISO 10993-10
- Implantation testing according to ISO 10993-6
- Genotoxicity testing according to ISO 10993-3
Equivalence in performance to the predicate device was demonstrated by conducting comparative shear bond strength testing to natural tooth structure and various crown materials.
Samples of the subject and predicate devices were cured onto dentin, enamel, zirconia, and lithium disilicate surfaces. Shear loading was applied at the cement-surface interface until debonding occurred.
Fluoride release testing was conducted on the subject device to determine its fluoride release profile.
{6}------------------------------------------------
Samples of the subject device were immersed in distilled water. The fluoride concentration was measured at 1, 3, and 7 days. No fluoride was released over a 7 day period.
#### 8. Discussion of Clinical Tests Performed:
Not Applicable
#### 9. Conclusions:
EDS Universal Cement is substantially equivalent to the cleared and marketed predicate device Unicem HM.
