The Cerec 2 System is used to obtain an optical impression using a threedimensional camera. The optical impression is used in the computer-aided design and milling of ceramic restorations including inlays, veneers and partial crowns. The modifications extend the capabilities to include full crowns. ## Device Story Cerec 2 Crown Software functions as an extension to the Cerec 2 Dicor Dental Restoration System. Device utilizes 3D camera to capture optical impressions of dental preparations. Software processes these inputs to facilitate computer-aided design (CAD) and milling of ceramic dental restorations. Used in clinical dental settings by practitioners to produce inlays, veneers, partial crowns, and full crowns. Output enables fabrication of custom ceramic prosthetics, improving efficiency of restorative dental procedures. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided; bench testing only. ## Technological Characteristics Software-based CAD/CAM system for dental restoration design. Operates via 3D optical camera input. Connectivity involves integration with milling hardware. System is a modification of existing Cerec 2 software architecture. ## 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 - Cerec 2 Dicor Dental Restoration System ([K972276](/device/K972276.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
