Base and catalyst components extruded from two-part cartridges via mixing tip; material inserted into patient mouth; cures into rigid dental impression. Used by dental professionals for heavy body/light body impression techniques; tray material compatible with 3M Imprint monophase materials. Output is a physical dental impression used for crown, bridge, and denture fabrication. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Comparative tests performed on strain in compression, compression set, mixed consistency, and linear dimensional change. ## Technological Characteristics Hydrophilic vinyl polysiloxane addition cure chemistry. Two-part cartridge delivery system with mixing tip. Material cures to rigid state. No electronic or software components. ## Regulatory Identification Impression material is a device composed of materials such as alginate or polysulfide intended to be placed on a preformed impression tray and used to reproduce the structure of a patient's teeth and gums. The device is intended to provide models for study and for production of restorative prosthetic devices, such as gold inlays and dentures. ## Special Controls *Classification.* Class II (Special Controls). ## Predicate Devices - 3M™ Imprint™ Vinyl Polysiloxane Impression Material Single Phase System ([K882690](/device/K882690.md)) - Caulk®/Dentsply® Reprosil® Cartridge System ([K863287](/device/K863287.md)) - Kerr® Extrude™ Polyvinylsiloxane Impression Material System ([K940379](/device/K940379.md)) - Examix™ Hydrophilic Vinyl Polysiloxane Impression Material ([K880849](/device/K880849.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Name: Amy E. Fowler Address: 3M Dental Products Laboratory 3M Center, Building 260-2B-09 St. Paul, MN 55144-1000 Phone: (612) 736-1590 Fax: (612) 736-0990 Date: September 6, 1996 Trade Name: 3M™ ProPlus System Common Names: Dental impression material Classification Name: Impression material (21 CFR 872.3660) Predicate devices: 3M™ Imprint™ Vinyl Polysiloxane Impression Material Single Phase System (K882690) Caulk®/Dentsply® Reprosil® Cartridge System (K863287) Kerr® Extrude™ Polyvinylsiloxane Impression Material System (K940379) Examix™ Hydrophilic Vinyl Polysiloxane Impression Material (K880849) 3M™ ProPlus System is composed of three hydrophilic vinyl polysiloxane dental impression materials. The system includes a tray material and two wash materials with different viscosities. The base and catalyst are extruded from two-part cartridges through a mixing tip. The pastes are inserted into the mouth and they cure into a rigid dental impression. 3M™ ProPlus System tray and wash materials are specially formulated to meet the demands of the heavy body/light body impression technique. The tray material may also be used in combination with 3M Imprint™ monophase materials. 3M™ ProPlus System, like the predicate devices, is designed for making precise crown and bridge and denture impressions. 3M™ ProPlus System and the predicate devices have similar technological characteristics as indicated by their vinyl polysiloxane addition cure chemistry. This is further validated by the comparative results of the bench tests conducted. These tests include strain in compression, compression set, mixed consistency, and linear dimensional change. Based on the safety analysis and the bench tests, 3M™ ProPlus System is safe, effective, and performs as well or better than the predicate devices. --- **Source:** [https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/DE/subpart-d%E2%80%94prosthetic-devices/ELW/K963766](https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/DE/subpart-d%E2%80%94prosthetic-devices/ELW/K963766) **Published by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com)** — a medical-device software consultancy.
