Indications for Use
Fabrication of orthodontic and dental appliances such as mouthguards, splints and positioners. The product is for use with DLP / SLA printers that work at wavelengths of 385 nm or 405 nm.
Device Story
LuxaPrint Ortho Plus is a (meth)acrylate-based photocurable polymer resin used in dental laboratories to fabricate custom removable dental appliances via 3D printing (DLP/SLA). The system requires a compatible dental scanner, 3D printer (385 nm or 405 nm), and curing equipment. The resin is processed into physical appliances used by patients to manage bruxism, teeth grinding, or for post-orthodontic stabilization. The healthcare provider designs the appliance digitally and oversees the fabrication process. The final appliance provides mechanical support to the patient's dentition, benefiting the patient by protecting teeth from grinding forces or maintaining orthodontic alignment.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data. Performance testing confirmed physical properties (flexural strength, flexural modulus, water solubility, water sorption) meet ISO 4049 and ISO 20795-2 standards. Biocompatibility evaluated per ISO 10993. Risk management performed per ISO 14971.
Technological Characteristics
(Meth)acrylate-based photocurable polymer resin; additive manufacturing (DLP/SLA); compatible with 385 nm or 405 nm light sources; non-sterile; single-use. Physical properties meet ISO 4049 and ISO 20795-2. No software, electronics, or EMC requirements.
Indications for Use
Indicated for fabrication of orthodontic and dental appliances including mouthguards, nightguards, splints, and positioners for patients requiring bruxism relief, teeth grinding management, or stabilization of tooth position post-orthodontic treatment.

Dear Pamela Papineau:
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 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for

# Non-clinical Performance Testing
Performance data demonstrated that finished devices manufactured using the LuxaPrint Ortho Plus material meet all predetermined acceptance criteria contained in the product specification and are suitable for use in the fabrication of reusable orthodontic splints and mouthguards. 3D printed devices fabricated using LuxaPrint Ortho Plus have been tested for and found to have comparable physical properties appropriate for removable dental appliances flexural strength, flexural modulus, water solubility, and water sorption. The risks associated with the use of the new devices were found acceptable when evaluated in accordance with ISO 14971. Risks and benefits associated with the proposed and the predicate device are the same. Design verification and validation activities consisted of physical testing, biocompatibility evaluation, and stability (shelf life) validation.
# Comparison of Technological Characteristics with the Predicate Device
The intended use, performance specifications, and additive method of manufacturing of LuxaPrint Ortho Plus are substantially equivalent to the predicate device, E-Guard. While the specific resin formulation of the predicate is different from LuxaPrint Ortho Plus, both are (meth)acrylate-based photo-curable resins used in additive manufacturing and are of the same material category. The additive manufacturing processes both use a resin, scanner, printer, and curing unit. The testing performed on LuxaPrint Ortho Plus produced results similar to data reported for the predicate device. Although the wording is not identical, the indications for use
{7}------------------------------------------------
for LuxaPrint Ortho Plus are equivalent to those of the predicate E-Guard in that both devices are intended for the fabrication of removable dental appliances such as mouthguards, nightguards, splints, and positioners. The LuxaPrint Ortho Indications for Use further state "the product is for use with DLP / SLA printers that work at wavelengths of 385 nm or 405 nm," while the predicate Indications for Use states "the resin in combination with a scanner, printer, and curing unit make up the system". The specific 3D printer units recommended for use with LuxaPrint Ortho Plus are prominently identified in the device Instructions for Use. The predicate device Indications for Use statement identifies E-Guard as "a light-cured resin". The same information is presented in the LuxaPrint Ortho Plus Instructions for Use under the heading "Product Description." These minor differences do not adversely affect substantial equivalence.
### Conclusion
The DMG Dental Enterprises SE LuxaPrint Ortho Plus meets all the pre-determined acceptance criteria of the testing performed to confirm substantial equivalence to the predicate device.
