Rhondium One-Visit-Crown is intended for restoration of permanent teeth with a single unit crown.
Device Story
Rhondium One-Visit-Crown (OVC) is a preformed hybrid ceramic crown for single-visit restoration of structurally compromised posterior teeth. Device consists of a fully-cured anatomical occlusal layer and an uncured sub-layer; clinician selects size based on tooth location; no impressions required. Accessories include OVC Replica (vinyl polysiloxane) for checking occlusal clearance; OVC Wedges (polyacetal resin) for interproximal working surface; Selector Keys (polycarbonate) for sizing and stabilization during curing. Clinician places OVC on prepared tooth; uncured layer allows customization to preparation; light-cured to finish. Output is a customized, bonded crown. Benefits include single-visit restoration and simplified procedure compared to traditional onlays or partial crowns.

510(k) Summary K143694
### INTENDED USE
Rhondium One-Visit-Crown is intended for restoration of permanent teeth with a single unit crown.
### DEVICE DESCRIPTION
Rhondium One-Visit-Crown (OVC) is a hybrid ceramic crown consisting of a fully-cured anatomical occlusal layer and an uncured sub-layer that allows customization of the OVC to the tooth preparation. When finished, the customized OVC is bonded to a prepared natural tooth. The OVC is for restoring structurally compromised posterior teeth in cases normally restored with an onlay or a partial crown in a single dental visit. The OVC is selected based on tooth location and size and therefore no impressions are necessary. The OVC is provided in designs for the upper and lower first and second premolars and the first and second molars, and each design is provided in six (6) sizes (extra-small (XS), small (S), medium (M), large (L), extra-large (XL), and extra-extra-large (XXL)). The OVC is made from a ceramic tooth shade resin material, and is provided nonsterile for single use only.
Accessories to the OVC Device include the OVC Replica, an exact replica of the cured (occlusal layer) portion of the OVC. The OVC Replica is used to confirm that sufficient occlusal clearance was obtained during tooth preparation and to provide direct visualization of the overall 3D position of the OVC on the prepared tooth and the relationship with adjacent and opposing dentition. The OVC Replica is manufactured from vinyl polysiloxane impression material. OVC Wedges are accessories provided in four configurations (small right, large left and large right), and are placed interproximally to create a working surface and to block out undercuts of the preparation. The Wedges are manufactured from polyacetal resin. The Selector Keys are accessories that allow the clinician to measure the mesial-distal distance in order to choose the appropriate size OVC for the restoration, and are used during the curing of the uncured resin to prevent disturbing the placement of the crown. The Selector Keys are manufactured from polycarbonate resin. All accessories are provided nonsterile for single use only.
# PERFORMANCE DATA
Performance testing to demonstrate substantial equivalence included methods described in the following standards: ASTM F1980 Standard Guide for Accelerated Aging of Sterile Barrier Systems for Medical Devices; ISO 10993-1 Biological evaluation of medical devices – Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process; ISO 10993-5 Biological evaluation of medical devices – Part 5: Tests for in vitro cytotoxicity; and ISO 4049 Dentistry – Polymer-Based Restorative Materials. Non-clinical testing data submitted, referenced, or relied upon to demonstrate substantial equivalence included: product shelf life testing, biocompatibility testing, flexural strength testing, static compressive strength testing, and resin depth of cure testing. No clinical data were included in this submission.

| Other Accessory | OVC Wedges<br>polyacetal resin | None |
The subject device and the predicate device K072733 have the same intended use and very similar indications for use (restoration of permanent teeth with a single unit crown). The subject device and the predicate K072733 are provided in a range of designs and sizes to restore the premolars and molars of the upper and lower jaw. The subject device and the predicate K072733 encompass similar ranges of physical dimensions and characteristics, including design and dimensions, and both are made of light-cured resin materials. The subject device and the predicate devices are provided nonsterile for single use only.
{6}------------------------------------------------
The subject device consists of a fully-cured layer of tooth shade resin, a bonding layer, and a layer of uncured tooth shade resin to allow for customization and to assist with a cohesive fit of the crown to the prepared tooth.
Any differences in the technological characteristics between the subject device and the predicate devices do not affect substantial equivalence.
## CONCLUSION
The data included in this submission demonstrates substantial equivalence to the predicate devices listed above.
