Device Story
DIMENSION® BITE is a polyvinyl siloxane-based impression material used for bite registration and intraoral guide pin excursion tracing. It is intended for professional dental use. The device functions as a dental impression material to reproduce the structure of a patient's teeth. It was developed by ESPE Dental AG to replace a previously marketed private-label bite registration material. The formulation is based on the chemistry of the predicate DIMENSION® PENTA impression material, with the addition of a softening agent derived from PERMADYNE® GARANT®. The material is applied intraorally by a dental professional to capture dental structures or guide pin movements.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is based on comparison of physical and mechanical properties to predicate devices and established chemical composition.
Technological Characteristics
Polyvinyl siloxane-based addition type silicone impression material. Composition includes ingredients from DIMENSION® PENTA and a softening agent from PERMADYNE® GARANT®. Formulated for intraoral use as a bite registration material.
Indications for Use
Indicated for bite registration and intraoral guide pin excursion tracing in dental patients.
Regulatory Classification

## Description for the Premarket Notification
DIMENSION® BITE is classified as an impression material (21 C.F.R. § 872.3660) because it is a device intended to reproduce the structure of a patient's teeth.
DIMENSION® BITE is similar in intended use and substantially equivalent to Roydent's polyvinyl siloxane based impression and bite registration material PANASIL® and ESPE's polyvinyl siloxane based impression material DIMENSION® PENTA.
In recent years ESPE was already marketing a bite registration material tradenamed DIMENSION® BITE in USA. This material is a private label product and

manufactured by Kettenbach. The same device is marketed in USA under the name FUTAR® OCCLUSION by Roydent. Roydent holds the 510(k) for the material (K 954281). To be independent from suppliers, ESPE decided to develop an own polyvinyl siloxane based bite registration material which will replace the private label material.
The basis for ESPE's new development is the good experience with its addition type silicone based impression material DIMENSION® PENTA.
The physical and mechanical properties of the new DIMENSION® BITE have been compared to those of the old DIMENSION® BITE (FUTAR® OCCLUSION).
The composition of the new DIMENSION® BITE contains the same ingredients as ESPE's DIMENSION® PENTA® impression material except one softening agent which is contained in ESPE's polyether based impression material PERMADYNE® GArant®.
The above mentioned impression and bite registration materials are well established and considered to be safe and effective.
