Intended Use
The n!ce™ glass ceramic is intended to be used to manufacture ceramic prostheses for the restoration of natural teeth or on top of abutments.
Device Story
Straumann n!ce Glass-Ceramic Blocks are proprietary lithium disilicate (Li2O-SiO2) glass-ceramic blocks used for dental restorations. The blocks are milled using CAD/CAM systems to create inlays, onlays, veneers, partial crowns, and crowns for natural teeth or endosseous dental implant abutments. The device is used in dental clinics or laboratories by dental professionals. The material is supplied fully crystallized, distinguishing it from some predicates that require post-milling crystallization. The final restoration is placed by a clinician to restore tooth function and aesthetics. The device benefits patients by providing a durable, biocompatible, and esthetic restorative material for single-unit dental prostheses.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance evaluated per ISO 6872 (dental ceramic materials) and ISO 7991 (coefficient of linear thermal expansion). Biocompatibility assessed per ISO 10993-1, ISO 10993-5 (cytotoxicity), and ISO 10993-18 (chemical characterization). Shelf life validated per ASTM F1980. Transport and package testing performed per ISTA 2A.
Technological Characteristics
Lithium disilicate reinforced lithium aluminosilicate glass-ceramic. Form factor: C14 blocks (12.4 x 14.5 x 18.0 mm). Compatible with Sirona CEREC and inLab mills. Fully crystallized as supplied. Meets ISO 6872 Type II, Class 2 requirements. Flexural strength and chemical solubility comply with ISO standards.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use as inlays, onlays, veneers, partial crowns and crowns in patients requiring dental prosthetic restoration.
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.

Dear Jennifer Jackson:
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. Isting of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to 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.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical devicerelated adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in
{1}------------------------------------------------
the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Division of Industry and Consumer Education at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 796-7100 or at its Internet address
http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/ResourcesforYou/Industry/default.htm. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to
http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportaProblem/default.htm for the CDRH's Office of Surveillance and Biometrics/Division of Postmarket Surveillance.
