Intended Use

The above name products are intended for use as base metal casting alloys for casting removable partial denture frameworks.

Device Story

Base metal casting alloys (Vitallium 2000, Vitallium 2000 Plus, Cobalt Chrome Casting Alloy) used by dental laboratory technicians to cast removable partial denture frameworks. Alloys melted and cast into molds to create prosthetic structures. Provides structural support and durability for dental restorations. Clinical benefit includes restoration of oral function and aesthetics for patients requiring partial dentures.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Substantial equivalence is based on bench testing of compositional and mechanical properties (yield strength and elongation) compared to established ISO and ANSI/ADA standards.

Technological Characteristics

Cobalt-chrome based casting alloys. Composition: Cobalt, Chromium, Molybdenum (≥ 85%). Mechanical properties: 0.2% Yield Strength ≥ 500 MPa; % Elongation ≥ 3%. Complies with ISO 6871 (Base Metal Casting Alloys - Part I Cobalt Based Alloys) and ANSI/ADA Standard Specification #14.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use as base metal casting alloys for the fabrication of removable partial denture frameworks in patients requiring dental prosthetics.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A base metal alloy is a device composed primarily of base metals, such as nickel, chromium, or cobalt, that is intended for use in fabrication of cast or porcelain-fused-to-metal crown and bridge restorations.
