## Indications for Use

BISCOVER LED is a low-viscosity, light-cured resin formulation used to seal restorations and enamel while leaving a smooth polished surface. BISCOVER LED is used to Seal and Polish: 1. Direct composites (cured) 2. Indirect composites 3. Provisionals 4. Acrylic appliances 5. Resin-modified Glass Ionomers 6. Enamel before or after orthodontic bracket placement 7. Etched Enamel

## Device Story

BISCOVER LED is a low-viscosity, light-cured multifunctional acrylate resin used by dental professionals to seal and polish dental restorations and enamel. The material is applied to the surface and cured using standard LED dental curing lights. Its proprietary chemistry allows for polymerization without an oxygen-inhibited layer, resulting in a smooth, polished surface that reduces or eliminates the need for manual polishing. The device is intended for use in a clinical dental setting. By providing a sealed, smooth surface, it protects restorations and enamel, potentially improving the longevity and aesthetics of dental work.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Biocompatibility testing was performed to confirm the device is non-toxic.

## Technological Characteristics

Light-cured, multifunctional acrylate resin. Low-viscosity liquid form factor. Polymerization initiated by standard LED dental curing lights. No oxygen-inhibited layer formation.

## Regulatory Identification

A coating material for resin fillings is a device intended to be applied to the surface of a restorative resin dental filling to attain a smooth, glaze-like finish on the surface of the filling.

#### Description of Applicant Device:

BISCOVER LED is a low viscosity, light-cured resin formulation used to seal restorations and etched cnamel while leaving a smooth polished surface. Due to its unique proprietary chemistry, BISCOVER LED cures without any sticky oxygen-inhibited layer. BISCOVER LED may reduce or even eliminate the need for manual polishing. The photo-initiator used by BISCOVER LED allows most LD demal curing lights to achieve polymerization.

#### Intended uses of Applicant Device:

BISCOVER LED is used to seal and polish direct composites (cured), indirect composites, provisionals, acrylic appliances, Resin-Modified Glass Ionomers, Enamel before or after orthodontic bracket placement, and etched Enamel.

Predicate Devices: BISCOVER LV (K043168) dated February 1, 2005.
