Device Story
EsCem RMGI is a radiopaque resin-modified glass ionomer (RMGI) luting cement. It is supplied in a dual-syringe system containing base and catalyst pastes. The clinician mixes the two pastes and applies the cement to the internal surface of indirect dental restorations (inlays, onlays, crowns, bridges, or posts) before seating them. The device features a tack-cure option, allowing the clinician to partially set the cement to facilitate the removal of excess material. Used in dental clinics by licensed professionals, the cement provides a secure bond for indirect restorations, aiding in the long-term retention and stability of the dental prosthesis.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance evaluated per ISO 9917-2 for flexural strength and film thickness, showing results comparable to the predicate. Biocompatibility testing conducted per ISO 10993-1, including in vitro cytotoxicity (ISO 10993-5), skin sensitization (ISO 10993-10), and irritation testing (ISO 10993-23).
Technological Characteristics
Radiopaque resin-modified glass ionomer (RMGI) cement; ISO 9917-2 Class 3 compliant. Dual-syringe delivery system. Self-curing setting mechanism with tack-cure capability. Biocompatibility evaluated per ISO 10993-1 for externally communicating devices with >30 days contact.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the final cementation of metal, resin, and ceramic inlays, onlays, crowns, and bridges, as well as metal, ceramic, and fiber posts in patients requiring indirect dental restorations.

# Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Tests Summary & Conclusions 21 CFR 807.92(b)
The flexural strength and film thickness tests of the subject device (EsCem RMGI) were conducted in accordance with ISO 9917-2. Additionally, the technical data sheet of the predicate device (RelyX™ Luting Plus Automix) was referenced for mechanical properties such as flexural strength and film thickness. The flexural strength and film thickness test results of the subject device and predicate device meet the ISO 9917-2 requirements, and the values of those performances are comparable to those of the predicate device.
In addition, biocompatibility testing was performed in accordance with ISO 10993-1, Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process. The subject device is classified as externally communicating with tissue/bone/ dentin (direct patient contact) for $>30$ days. Test performed for the subject device include in vitro cytotoxicity (ISO 10993-5), skin sensitization (ISO 10993-10), and irritation testing (ISO 10993-23).
Based on the indications for use, technological characteristics, performance testing, and comparison to the predicate device, the data demonstrates that the subject device, EsCem RMGI, is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
