## Intended Use

For use in repairing, adding to, or otherwise modifying the surface of resins . Especially useful for enhancing co-polymentzation between an old and a new composite resin when the former requires refreshing or repair in clinical life. May also be used as the primer of indirect, resin-based restorations to enhance the bond of these with resin-based luting materials. This agent is also useful for bond of highly cross-inked denture teeth, acrylic or composite, to denture base resins, This material will improve the union between resin surfaces in a myriad of situations, both intra- and exta-orally.

## Device Story

Comp.E is a light-cured, resin-based primer; applied to surfaces of existing composite resin restorations or indirect restorations to enhance co-polymerization and bonding with new resin materials or luting agents. Used by dental professionals in clinical settings; facilitates repair or modification of resin surfaces intra-orally or extra-orally. Improves union between old and new resin surfaces; enhances clinical longevity of restorations.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on technological characteristics and intended use.

## Technological Characteristics

Light-cured, resin-based primer. Formulated to enhance co-polymerization between resin surfaces. Applied as a liquid primer.

## Regulatory Identification

A resin tooth bonding agent is a device material, such as methylmethacrylate, intended to be painted on the interior of a prepared cavity of a tooth to improve retention of a restoration, such as a filling.

## Predicate Devices

- Special Bond
- Special Bond II

Dear Dr. Gendusa:

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.
