Device Story
Adhese 2 is a dual-curing, single-component dental adhesive for enamel and dentin. It is used by dentists in clinical settings for restorative procedures and cementation. The device is applied to prepared tooth surfaces following isolation and conditioning with phosphoric acid gel. It is delivered via VivaPen, bottles, or single-dose units. For self-curing, it is used with initiator-coated cannulas/applicators. For light-curing, it is activated by dental curing lights at specified intensities and durations. The adhesive facilitates the bonding of restorative or luting composites to tooth structure. By providing a reliable bond, it enables the restoration of missing tooth structure and repair of defective restorations, benefiting patients through improved structural integrity and reduced sensitivity.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance evaluated via shear bond strength testing per EN ISO 29022:2013. Biocompatibility evaluated per ISO 10993, ISO 7405, ISO 21726:2019, and ISO 14971:2019, concluding no clinical cytotoxic, pyrogenic, or toxicological risk when used according to instructions.
Technological Characteristics
Dual-curing, single-component resin adhesive. Materials include initiator vanadyloxalat in VivaPen cannulas. Compatible with self-etch, selective-enamel-etch, and etch & rinse techniques. Standards: EN 1641, ISO 29022. Delivery: VivaPen, bottle, or single-dose units. Curing: Light-curing (500-3300 mW/cm2) or self-curing via initiator-coated applicators.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with missing tooth structure or defective restorations requiring adhesive cementation of indirect restorations, endodontic posts, or direct restorative procedures including build-ups, composite/compomer restorations, repair of fractured restorations, and desensitization of hypersensitive cervical areas. Contraindicated in patients with known allergies to any ingredients or where the stipulated working technique cannot be employed; not for direct pulp capping.
Regulatory Classification
Identification

Dear Anderjeet Gulati:
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 (the 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 available 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.

## Substantial Equivalence to the predicate:
The indications of Adhese Universal and Adhese Universal DC are basically the same regarding the curing times for adhese 2. The biocompatibility of the new formulation was fully assessed and is substantially equivalent to Adhese Universal DC. The device performance was tested according to ISO 29022:2013 and was found to meet the relevant performance criteria.
Therefore, Adhese 2 is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
## Differences:
Indication differs in that Adhese 2 indications include additional information regarding the curing times.
The Working Principle is the same for both devices, but as Adhese 2 is also available in the VivaPen, cannulas coated with the initiator are required. This application form (VivaPen) is new compared to the predicate device Adhese Universal DC. However, there are no significant differences.

Adhese 2 is available in the VivaPen Delivery forms/dosage that the predicate device is not available in. To enable the function for the VivaPen, the cannulas are coated with the initiator vanadyloxalat. However, there are no significant differences, and the products are considered to be substantially equivalent.
The Chemical Composition in Adhese 2 is slightly different, but the biocompatibility of the new formulation was assessed and is substantially equivalent to Adhese Universal DC.
The device specification for shear bond strength LC for adhese 2 is higher (25 MPa) as the light-curing mode generally shows higher values.
## Non-clinical performance testing:
Bench testing was performed to test the physical properties included in the Finished Device Specification for the subject device including: Shear bond strength according to EN ISO 29022:2013 Dentistry – Adhesion- Notched-edge shear bond strength test
## Biocompatibility:
The subject devices were evaluated for Biocompatibility according to ISO 10993, ISO 7405, ISO 21726:2019 and ISO 14971:2019. The biological evaluation was performed based on toxicological data on relevant component materials / compounds, information on prior use of relevant component materials / compounds, data from biological tests, data on the history of clinical use or human exposure. Based on the information included in the biological evaluation reports it can be concluded that the products under evaluation are acceptable in relation to its clinical benefit.
The product under assessment Adhese 2 has no clinical cytotoxic risk, holds no potential for material-mediated pyrogenicity, presents no risks for acute, sub-acute, sub-chronic or chronic toxicity, is not an inducer of adverse implantation effects, is not genotoxic, is not carcinogenic, and is not causing reproductive and development toxicity.
While Adhese 2 can cause irritation and sensitization mostly likely in its unpolymerized state. If proper safety measures (according to the IFU) during handling and use are employed, health risks can be avoided.
The products do not represent a toxicological risk for the patient and the user.
On the basis of the toxicological evaluation of the products and the longstanding worldwide clinical use of similar materials it can be concluded that the benefits provided by the final product will exceed any potential risks produced by device materials providing that the instructions for use have been followed.
## Conclusion:
Adhese Universal DC and the new device Adhese 2 are both dental adhesives. The main difference between the two is that Adhese 2 is available in the VivaPen beside the delivery forms single dose and bottle. In addition, the recipe is slightly changed for the new device.
Therefore, Adhese 2 is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, Adhese Universal DC.
