Intended Use

GenesisZr® 4Y+(ST1100) Zirconia blanks are indicated for use by dental technicians for the production of full contour and substructures restorations up to a full arch.

Device Story

GenesisZr 4Y+ (ST1100) Zirconia consists of yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia (Y-TZP) ceramic discs/blocks. Dental laboratories use CAD/CAM systems to mill these blanks into custom dental restorations (crowns, bridges, copings) based on patient tooth anatomy. Milled restorations are sintered and colored as needed before fitting by a dentist. The device is used in dental laboratory settings by technicians. The final restoration provides structural support and aesthetic replacement for missing or damaged tooth structure, benefiting patients by restoring oral function.

Nonclinical Testing United Dental Resources Corporation performed a series of tests to assess whether the device is safe and effective to use. Sintered tests coupled with mechanical bench testing confirmed that the device meets specifications including established international standards and guidance documents. Density, bending strength, fracture toughness, chemical solubility and material characterization/ composition of finished product was conducted to confirm that the product is safe and effective, while meeting performance goals established by standards. GenesisZr® 4Y+ (ST1100) Zirconia blanks comply with ISO 6872:2015, "Dentistry - Ceramic materials" and ISO 13356: 2015, "Implants for surgery, Ceramic materials based on yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia (Y-TZP)". # 8. Clinical Testing Clinical tests have not been performed. # 9. Substantial Equivalence Discussion GenesisZr® 4Y+ (ST1100) Zirconia blank comparison to the predicate device, The Argen Corporation, ArgenZ HT+ (K190079), is based upon similar characteristics such as: intended use, indications, contra-indications, material properties, chemical composition, processing/fabrication and testing to recognized standards and guidelines. GenesisZr® 4Y+ (ST1100) Zirconia utilizes a substantially equivalent composition (ZrO2+HfO2+Y2Os: > 99), which results in a flexural strength of >1,100MPa and a fracture toughness of >5.0 MPa m0.5, therefore allowing for a classification of Class 5 in the ISO 6872:2015 standard. Thus the product meets the standards for "Monolithic-ceramic for prostheses involving four or more units or fully covered substructure for prostheses involving four or more units." The predicate device's Indications for Use provide for "the production of full contour and substructure restorations up to a full arch" and the subject device also meets the standards for this same indication based upon the specification with ISO 6872:2015, Section 4 and Annex A.
