{5}------------------------------------------------
- Fully anatomical 4-unit bridges (anterior and posterior)
- Fully & partially veneered single tooth and up to 4-unit bridge substructures
- Inlays, onlays, veneers
Primary Predicate (VITA YZ ST) - Fully anatomical anterior and posterior crowns
- Multi-unit fully anatomical anterior and posterior bridges (not limited to 4 units)
- Direct screw-retained restorations (crowns & bridges)
- Single-tooth and multi-unit bridge frameworks
Secondary Predicate (VITA Enamic) - Inlays, onlays, veneers, crowns
Key Differences in Indications:
· Subject device vs. primary predicate:
o Subject device is limited to 4-unit bridges, while the primary predicate allows multi-unit bridges.
o Primary predicate supports screw-retained restorations, which the subject device does not.
o Subject device includes inlays, onlays, and veneers, which the primary predicate does not.
· Subject device vs. secondary predicate:
o Subject device covers bridges and veneered structures, whereas Enamic does not.
o Enamic only covers inlays, onlays, veneers, and crowns, making it more similar to lithium disilicate-based materials rather than zirconia frameworks.
## Technological Comparison
## 21 CFR 807.92(a)(6)
Composition Differences:
- 1. Subject Device (VITA YZ Multi Translucent) vs. Primary Predicate (VITA YZ ST)
o Both are yttria-stabilized zirconia-based materials.
o The subject device has slightly lower aluminum oxide (AlgO ) content (0-1%) than the primary predicate (1-3%), improving translucency.
- o The primary predicate has higher Al2O3, making it stronger but less translucent.
2. Subject Device vs. Secondary Predicate (VITA Enamic)
- o The subject device is zirconia-based, while Enamic is silica-based (hybrid ceramic).
- o Enamic contains polymer-infiltrated silica, making it more flexible and shock-absorbent.
o Zirconia (subject & primary predicate) is stronger but brittle, while Enamic is more aesthetic and wear-friendly but lacks bridge strength.
Why Composition Matters:
1. Translucency & Aesthetic Use
o The subject device has improved translucency, making it ideal for anterior crowns, veneers, and esthetic restorations.
o The primary predicate is stronger but less translucent, better for large bridges and screw-retained restorations.
o Enamic has the highest translucency but lacks zirconia's strength.
2. Mechanical Strength & Bridge Use
o Subject device: Suitable for 4-unit bridges due to its translucent composition.
o Primary predicate: Supports multi-unit bridges and screw-retained restorations due to higher strength.
o Enamic: Not suitable for bridges due to lower strength.
3. Application Differences
o Subject device: Optimized for high-translucency esthetic restorations and smaller bridges.
o Primary predicate: Optimized for strength, making it suitable for large bridges and screw-retained crowns.
o Secondary predicate (Enamic): Best for veneers, inlays, and onlays due to its flexibility and aesthetics.
