Intended Use
1. Direct dental restorations (e.g., resin-based composites, resin-modified glass ionomers, resin core build-ups, compomers). 2. Indirect dental restorations (e.g., metal, resin-based composite, dental ceramics such as porcelain, pressed ceramic, lithium disilicate, lithium silicate or zirconia). 3. Desensitization of dentin. 4. Sealing of dentin, cementum or enamel.
Device Story
Parkell Universal Adhesive is a single-component, light-cured dental bonding agent. It utilizes 4-META and 10-MDP chemistry to penetrate prepared enamel and dentin surfaces, establishing bonds to restorative composites, metals, and dental ceramics. Used in dental clinics by dentists; applied via brush to treatment surfaces. Functions as a self-etching, self-priming adhesive compatible with self-, dual-, and light-cure materials. Benefits include simplified application without prior acid-etching of dentin or cutting of enamel, and protection against microleakage. Output is a bonded interface between tooth structure and restorative material.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by bench testing, specifically shear bond strength testing performed in accordance with ISO standards on various dental substrates (enamel, dentin, metals, ceramics, composites).
Technological Characteristics
Single-component, light-cured, self-etching, self-priming dental adhesive. Contains 4-META and 10-MDP resins. Compatible with self-, dual-, and light-cure materials. Biocompatibility evaluated per ISO 10993-1, -3, -5, -10, -12, and -33.
Indications for Use
Indicated for direct and indirect dental restorations, dentin desensitization, and sealing of dentin, cementum, or enamel in patients requiring dental restorative procedures.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A resin tooth bonding agent is a device material, such as methylmethacrylate, intended to be painted on the interior of a prepared cavity of a tooth to improve retention of a restoration, such as a filling.

| Trade Name: | Parkell® Universal Adhesive |
|----------------------|-----------------------------------------------------|
| Common Name: | Dental Bonding Agent |
| Classification Name: | Resin Tooth Bonding Agent (21 CFR Section 872.3200) |
| Product Code: | KLE |
| Classification: | Class II |
- 5. Predicate Device:
Scotchbond® Universal Adhesive (K110302)/(3M ESPE)
- 6. Description of Proposed Device:
The Parkell® Universal Adhesive is a single-component, one-bottle, light-cured universal bonding agent which utilizes proven 4-META and 10-MDP chemistry to enhance penetration into prepared enamel and dentin surfaces and to establish strong bonds to dental surfaces such as restorative composites, metals, dentin, enamel, cementum, and dental ceramics (e.g., porcelain, lithium disilicate, zirconia, or hybrid ceramics). The Device is useful for all direct and indirect dental restorations, desensitizing teeth, and sealing tooth structures against microleakage. Moreover, the Device can be used without prior acid-etching of dentin or cutting of enamel surfaces.
The Parkell® Universal Adhesive will be provided in a single bottle, with standard applicator brushes for applying the adhesive to treatment surfaces.
- 7. Intended Use:
- Direct dental restorations (e.g., resin-based composites, resin-modified glass ionomers, ﮯ resin core build-ups, compomers).
- ನ Indirect dental restorations (e.g., metal, resin-based composite, dental ceramics such as porcelain, pressed ceramic, lithium disilicate, lithium silicate or zirconia).
- ನ Desensitization of dentin.
- Sealing of dentin, cementum or enamel. ব
As so described and as demonstrated in Table 5-A, the Device has the same intended uses as the Predicate Device (Scotchbond™ Universal Adhesive, 510K no. 110302, which has been marketed since about 2011), in that both devices are useful for direct and indirect dental restorations (e.g., inlays, onlays, crowns, bridges, varnishes and veneers), desensitizing

teeth and root surfaces, and sealing tooth structures and cavities. Any differences in the descriptions of intended uses of the Device and Predicate Device, to the extent that they exist, are minor, not critical to the intended therapeutic uses of the Device, and do not affect the safety and/or effectiveness of the Device when used as labeled.
#### 8. Technological Characteristics:
The proposed device, Parkell® Universal Adhesive, has the same intended use and contains similar chemical components to that of the predicate device (Scotchbond™ Universal Adhesive, K110302). The proposed device and its predicate both contain several of the same chemical components as well as identical functional categories of components, with the exception of a "filler" which is included only in the Predicate Device. The differences in chemical composition across the Device and Predicate Device are believed to have insubstantial effects on the intended use of the Device. This is evidenced by substantially similar performance by the proposed device and predicate devices in performance tests on a variety of dental substrates, as described in the device comparison table below.
Most importantly, all chemical components found in the proposed Device, but not within the Predicate Device, are commonly-used chemicals that are present in many FDA-cleared dental products which have long histories of safe use.
#### 9. Biocompatibility:
An evaluation of biocompatibility was conducted to determine the safety of Parkell® Universal Adhesive in accordance with ISO 10993-1:2009, ISO 10993-3:2014, ISO 10993-5: 2009, ISO 10993-10:2010, ISO 10993-12: 2012, ISO 10993-33:2015, and the Final FDA Guidance, "Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, "Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process" (June 16, 2016). The conclusion of the evaluation is that Parkell® Universal Adhesive can be considered biocompatible.
## 10. Substantial Equivalence2:
Information provided in this 510(k) submission demonstrates that Parkell® Universal Adhesive is substantially equivalent to the Predicate Device, 3M ESPE's Scotchbond® Universal Adhesive (K110302) in terms of bond strength to dentin, enamel,metals, composite resins, and dental ceramics. The shear bond strength tests were performed in accordance with ISO standards. The bond strengths achieved by the Device were compared to that of the Predicate Device and were determined to be equivalent.
Any differences between the Device and the Predicate Device, for purposes of this 510(k) submission, do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness. Thus, this submission demonstrates the safety and effectiveness of Parkell® Universal Adhesive. A brief comparison of Parkell® Universal Adhesive to the Predicate Device is provided below:
All statements contained herein are made solely for the purpose of demonstrating substantial equivalence as that term is defined in the context of SIO(k) submissions; the statements cannot be applied reliably or accurately in the context of U.S. patent or other intellectual property laws which involve vastly different legal standards and definitions (such as, e.g., within the context of 35 U.S.C. §§ 102, 103, 112, 271).

#### 11. Clinical Performance Data
There was no clinical testing required to support the Device as the indications for use are equivalent to the Predicate Device. These types of devices, including the Predicate Device, have been on the market for many years with no reported adverse events. The non-clinical testing detailed in this submission supports the substantial equivalence of the Device.
### 12. Statement of Substantial Equivalence:
By definition, a device is substantially equivalent to a predicate device when the device has the same intended use and the same technological characteristics as the previously cleared predicate device.
The Device (Parkell® Universal Adhesive) has the same or similar intended use, indications, principles of operation, and technological characteristics as the Predicate Device (Scotchbond® Universal Adhesive). The Device, as designed and manufactured, is determined to be substantially equivalent to the Predicate Device in terms of intended use, design, and function.
