## Indications for Use

XeraCem is a hybrid between glass ionomer cement and ceramic cement based on calcium aluminate. It combines the advantages of glass ionomer cements with those of calcium aluminum based cements. XeraCem is a hand mixed cement and consists of a powder (XeraCem powder) and a liquid (XeraCem liquid). XeraCem is intended for the permanent cementiation of - Porcelain Fused to Metal Crowns and Bridges . - Metal (gold etc.) crowns and bridges . - Gold inlays and onlays . - . Prefabricated metal and cast posts - . Prefabricated metal provisional crowns - . All-zirconia or all-alumina ceramic crowns and bridges

## Device Story

XeraCem is a hybrid glass ionomer-ceramic dental cement based on calcium aluminate; supplied as powder and liquid components. Clinician performs manual mixing of components prior to application. Used by dentists for permanent cementation of various dental restorations including crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, and posts. Provides mechanical fixation of dental prosthetics to tooth structure. Benefits include combining properties of glass ionomer and calcium aluminate cements for dental restoration stability.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Physical and mechanical studies compared XeraCem to predicate devices. Biocompatibility testing included cytotoxicity, genotoxicity, irritation, and sensitization. All performance observed was as expected.

## Technological Characteristics

Hybrid glass ionomer-ceramic dental cement; calcium aluminate-based; hand-mixed powder and liquid components. No specific ASTM standards cited. No software or electronic components.

## 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

- KetacTM Cem Maxicap ([K897188](/device/K897188.md))
- DoxaDentTM ([K011839](/device/K011839.md))

- . Prefabricated metal provisional crowns
- . All-zirconia or all-alumina ceramic crowns and bridges

## 5.5. Technological characteristics

XeraCem is a hybrid glass ionomer-ceramic dental cement, reconstituted prior to use by hand mixing the XeraCem powder with the XeraCern liguid.

### 5.5. Performance Data

XeraCem is technologically identical to the previously cleared Ketac Cem Maxicap. Various physical and mechanical studies were conducted to compare XeraCem the predical realidas XeraCem has been evaluated and passed biocompatibility testing of cytotoxicity, genotoxicity, irritation, and sensitization. In all instances, XeraCem functioned as intended and the performance observed was as expected.

## 5.6. Substantial Equivalence

XeraCem is as safe and effective as the predicate devices. XeraCem has the same intended uses and similar indications, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as its predicate devices. Thus, XeraCem is substantially equivalent.

Dear Mr. Kahan:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
