Dentsply Sirona Universal Spray Glazes are aerosol glazing porcelains used to glaze high-strength glass ceramic and zirconia dental restorations. The glaze sprays are applied to restorations and fired.
Device Story
Dentsply Sirona Universal Spray Glazes are aerosol-based glazing porcelains for dental restorations (e.g., crowns, bridges). Supplied in ready-to-use spray cans, they are available with or without fluorescing agents to enhance aesthetics. Dental professionals apply a thin, uniform layer to the restoration surface, followed by firing in a dental furnace. A second layer may be applied and fired if necessary. The device simplifies the glazing process by eliminating manual mixing. The organic components and propellant burn off during the firing process, leaving only the ceramic glaze on the restoration. This process improves the surface finish and aesthetic appearance of the dental restoration, benefiting the patient by providing a natural-looking, durable dental prosthesis.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing per ISO 6872:2015 (Dentistry - Ceramic materials) and ISO 10993-5 (in vitro cytotoxicity). Bench testing confirmed compliance with specifications for uniformity, freedom from extraneous material, linear thermal expansion, glass transition temperature, flexural strength (>50 MPa), chemical solubility (<100µg/cm²), and radioactivity (<1 Bq/g U238).
Technological Characteristics
Aerosol spray glazing porcelain containing oxides, organic components, and propellant. Form factor: ready-to-use spray can with cap. Standards: ISO 6872:2015 (Type I Class 1 ceramic materials). Biocompatibility: ISO 10993-5. Shelf life: 3.5 years. Storage: <50°C.
Indications for Use
Indicated for glazing high-strength glass ceramic and zirconia dental restorations in patients requiring dental prostheses.
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 Karl Nittinger:
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.

# 4. Description of Device:
The proposed devices, Dentsply Sirona Universal Spray Glazes are sprayable glazing porcelains, intended for glazing the surface of dental restorations. The glazes are supplied to dental professionals in an aerosol can. Different variations of glazes are available to meet the aesthetic preferences of dental professionals and patients. Variations with or without fluorescing agent come in a ready-to-use spray can. Variations are distinguished by the names, "Fluo" or "No Fluo" to designate the presence of fluorescing agents in the product.
No mixing is required by dental professionals as different glaze options (with or without fluorescing agent) are supplied to dental professionals in a ready-to-use form. The addition of the fluorescing agent contributes to a more aesthetic natural looking restoration.
The proposed devices, Dentsply Sirona Universal Spray Glazes, are applied on the surface of the dental restoration (example: fixed dental prostheses such as crown or bridge) in a thinuniform layer. After initial application, the restoration is then fired in a furnace for further processing. An additional layer of the proposed Dentsply Sirona Universal Spray Glazes can be applied after first firing, if necessary. If additional layer is applied, the dental restoration is placed again in the dental furnace for final firing.
### 5. Indications for Use:
Dentsply Sirona Universal Spray Glazes are aerosol glazing used to glaze highstrength glass ceramic and zirconia dental restorations. The glaze sprays are applied to restorations and fired.
# 6. Substantial Equivalence:
