## Intended Use

Simidur KF plus is a palladium-base ceramic alloy that can be used by dental technicians to fabricate dental appliances for patients. It is intended for manufacturing - Crowns . - Short span bridges . - Long span bridges . - Removable partials . and can be used for - . Telescopic and milling work Simidur KF plus can be veneered with suitable dental ceramics as well as with dentalcomposites.

## Device Story

Simidur KF plus is a palladium-based (79.7%) ceramic dental alloy. Used by dental technicians in laboratory settings to fabricate dental restorations, including crowns, bridges, and removable partials. Material is copper-free, corrosion-resistant, and biocompatible. It serves as a substrate for veneering with dental ceramics or composites. The device is processed by technicians to create custom dental appliances, which are then placed by dentists to restore patient dentition. Benefits include structural support for dental prosthetics and compatibility with standard milling and telescopic techniques.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. The device complies with international standard ISO 9693 and European directive 93/42/ECC requirements for dental alloys.

## Technological Characteristics

Palladium-based (79.7%) ceramic alloy. Copper-free. Complies with ISO 9693. Suitable for veneering with dental ceramics and composites. Form factor: dental alloy for laboratory fabrication.

## Regulatory Identification

A noble metal alloy is a device composed primarily of noble metals, such as gold, palladium, platinum, or silver, that is intended for use in the fabrication of cast or porcelain-fused-to-metal crown and bridge restorations.

## Special Controls
