Intended Use
Zirdent Dental Zirconia Blank & Dental Zirconia Pre-Shaded Blank are used for dental restorations using different CAD/CAM or manual milling machines. All blanks are processed thought dental laboratories or by dental professionals.
Device Story
Zirdent Dental Zirconia Blanks are zirconia-based ceramic blocks/rods used to fabricate dental restorations. The device consists of yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia (Y-TZP) powder; pre-shaded versions include inorganic pigments (Fe2O3, Er2O3, MnO) for tooth-color matching. Dental professionals or laboratories use CAD/CAM or manual milling machines to shape the blanks into crowns, bridges, veneers, or inlays/onlays. The milled restorations are then sintered at temperatures >1450°C. The final output is a custom-fitted ceramic dental prosthesis. The device is used in dental laboratory settings to provide durable, biocompatible tooth replacements, benefiting patients by restoring dental function and aesthetics.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing performed per ISO 6872:2015 verified specifications including flexural strength, chemical solubility, density, and fracture toughness. Biocompatibility testing per ISO 10993 series (cytotoxicity, irritation, sensitization, systemic toxicity, mutagenesis, genotoxicity, and implantation) confirmed safety.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia (ZrO2, Y2O3, HfO2, Al2O3) conforming to ISO 13356. Pre-shaded versions include inorganic pigments (Fe2O3, Er2O3, MnO). Form factor: Blocks and rods. Processing: CAD/CAM or manual milling followed by sintering (>1450°C). Performance conforms to ISO 6872. Non-sterile, single-use.
Indications for Use
Indicated for dental restorations (crowns, bridges, veneers, inlays/onlays) in patients requiring prosthetic dental devices, processed by dental professionals or laboratories.
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.

## 5. Device Description
Zirdent Dental Zirconia Blank are derived from zirconia powder that has been processed into their final shapes. These blanks are then being further fabricated into all-ceramic restorations such as crowns, bridges, veneers, inlay/onlay. The zirconia powder is composed of ZrO2+ Y2O3+ HfO2+ Al2O3 with its composition conforms to ISO 13356, Implants for surgery - Ceramic materials based on yttriastabilized tetragonal zirconia (Y-TZP). The performance of the dental blanks conforms to ISO 6872, Dentistry - Ceramic materials.
Zirdent Dental Zirconia Pre-Shaded Blank are derived from the same Zirconia powder as the regular Zirdent Dental Zirconia Blank with the addition of very small amount of inorganic pigments before the composite material is processed into their final net shapes. These blanks are then being further fabricated into all-ceramic restorations such as crowns, bridges, veneers, inlay/onlay. The purpose of the inorganic pigments is to generate the color on the prosthetic dental devices, after sintering at dental labs, that matches natural color of patient's teeth. The performance of the dental blanks conforms to ISO 6872, Dentistry - Ceramic materials.
#### 6. Intended Use of Device
Zirdent Dental Zirconia Blank & Dental Zirconia Pre-Shaded Blank are used for dental restorations using different CAD/CAM or manual milling machines. All blanks are processed thought dental laboratories or by dental professionals.

## 7. Summary of Substantial Equivalence
Table 1 Comparison to Predicate Device
{5}------------------------------------------------
# Zirdent New Material Co., Ltd
The proposed device is essentially identical to the predicate devices in terms of indication for use, design between our device and the predicate devices. The minor
{6}------------------------------------------------
differences are that as below:
Note 1: Zirconia (ZrO2+ Y2O2+ HfO2+ Al2O3) of proposed device which is not less than 99.0% is higher than that of the predicate device. The three inorganic pigments of the proposed device contain Fe203, Er2O3 and MnO, while those of the predicate device are Fe2O3, ProO3, and Er2O3. These are minor differences and the biocompatibility testing of the overall proposed device passed.
Note 2: Processing (Sintering at temperature) of the proposed device is slightly lower 5°C than that of the predicate device. This is minor difference and the performance testing of the proposed device passed.
#### 8. Summary of Non-Clinical Testing
Bench testing was performed per ISO 6872:2015 and internal procedures to ensure that the Zirdent Dental Zirconia Blank & Dental Zirconia Pre-Shaded Blank met its specifications. All tests were verified to meet acceptance criteria. Test results on radioactivity, flexural strength, chemical solubility, linear thermal expansion coefficient, freedom from extraneous materials, uniformity, shrinkage factor, pre-sintered density, sintered density, and fracture toughness of the subject device are very similar to predicate device. Biocompatibility testing was performed to verify the equivalent safety of the materials that are used.
According to ISO 10993-1:2018 and ISO ISO7405:2018, we evaluated and conducted the compatibility test for the proposed device. The following table shows the biocompatibility testing results.
