It functions as a self-adhesive material, bonding to composite, metal, silanated porcelain, and tooth structure (dentin/enamel) without requiring separate adhesive or etching steps. The device is supplied in a dual-syringe system; clinicians mix paste A and paste B using a mixing tip for direct application to the working area. It can be self-cured or light-cured. Used by dental professionals in clinical settings to secure various dental restorations and appliances. The radiopaque properties assist in post-operative radiographic assessment. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Biocompatibility testing was performed to confirm the device is non-toxic. No clinical studies were required or provided. ## Technological Characteristics Dual-cured (light/self) resin-modified glass ionomer cement. Radiopaque. Dual-syringe delivery system with mixing tips. Low viscosity. Class II device per 21 CFR 872.3275. ## Regulatory Identification Zinc oxide-eugenol is a device composed of zinc oxide-eugenol intended to serve as a temporary tooth filling or as a base cement to affix a temporary tooth filling, to affix dental devices such as crowns or bridges, or to be applied to a tooth to protect the tooth pulp. Dental cement other than zinc oxide-eugenol is a device composed of various materials other than zinc oxide-eugenol intended to serve as a temporary tooth filling or as a base cement to affix a temporary tooth filling, to affix dental devices such as crowns or bridges, or to be applied to a tooth to protect the tooth pulp. ## Predicate Devices - GC FujiCem ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

It is a self-adhesion cement bonding to composite, metal, silanated porcelain and tooth structure without applying any adhesive. For bonding to dentin and enamel, no etching step is required. With its dual syringe system, BisCem GI can be self cured by simply mixing paste A and paste B or cured by light after mixing paste A and paste B. Using a mixing tip, the cement could be dispensed to the working area directly. #### Intended uses of Applicant Device: BisCem GI is a dual-cure radiopaque dental cement designed to be used as a luting cement. Its physical properties are similar to the predicate device and uses are identical.

You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. {2}------------------------------------------------ ## Page 2 – Kathy Joung, PhD Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies.
