Intended Use
HCG Zirconia Ceramic Block are intended for the fabrication and preparation of copings and full anatomical/full contour crowns, bridges, inlays, and onlays for anterior and posterior segment restorations.
Device Story
HCG Zirconia Ceramic Block is a ceramic material composed of zirconia compounds (ZrO2, Y2O3, Al2O3). It serves as a raw material for dental laboratories or clinics to fabricate dental restorations. The blocks are processed via conventional manual milling or CAD/CAM systems to create copings, crowns, bridges, inlays, and onlays. The device is non-sterile and intended for use by dental professionals. The final restoration is placed in the patient's mouth to restore dental function and aesthetics. The device provides a durable, biocompatible ceramic structure for long-term dental rehabilitation.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data was used to support the substantial equivalence determination. Evidence is based on non-clinical bench testing, including biocompatibility (ISO 10993-5, -4, -11, -10, -6, USP <151>), shelf life (ASTM F1980), and functional testing (ISO 6872, ISO 13356, CNS 13983, CNS 13958).
Technological Characteristics
Ceramic block composed of ZrO2, Y2O3, and Al2O3. Form factor: round disks and square blocks. Flexural strength > 800 MPa. Non-sterile. Complies with ISO 6872, ISO 13356, and biocompatibility standards (ISO 10993 series).
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring dental restorations including copings, full anatomical/full contour crowns, bridges, inlays, and onlays in anterior and posterior segments.
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 Chieh-Ju Huang:
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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing 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

# 12. Similarity and Difference
The HCG Zirconia Ceramic Block is compared with NexxZr™ S and NexxZr™ T and Copran Zr/Origin YZ. The subject device has same intended use and technology/mechanism of action, and similar safety and performance as the predicate and reference devices. Although there are some different specifications between these devices, the performance test was completed and demonstrated similar test results. The subject device has also undergone safety and performance tests, and the results complied with the test requests. Therefore, the differences between the subject device and the predicate and reference devices do not raise any problem of substantial equivalence. The subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate and reference devices in intended use, design and performance claims.
## 13. Conclusion
After analyzing non-clinical laboratory studies and testing data, it can be concluded that the HCG Zirconia Ceramic Block is substantially equivalent to the predicate and reference devices.
