• Decision: SESE
• Submission Type: Traditional
• Regulation: 21 CFR 872.3275
• Device Class: Class 2
• Attributes: Therapeutic

Intended Use

1. Cementation of all types of all ceramic, resin and metal-based inlays, crowns and bridges. 2. Cementation of metal, ceramic, fiber posts, and cast post and cores.

Device Story

GAM-200 is a dual-cured self-adhesive resin cement; supplied in a one-body syringe containing Paste A and Paste B. Pastes are automixed via mixing tip and applied directly to restorations or prepared cavities. Hardening occurs via polymerization activated by redox or photo initiator systems. Adhesion to tooth structure is achieved through phosphoric ester monomers forming ionic bonds with calcium ions. Used by dental professionals for permanent cementation of various dental restorations and posts. Provides stable fixation in the oral environment.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance evaluated against ISO 4049:2009 (polymer-based restorative materials) and ISO 11405:2003 (bond strength). Cytotoxicity evaluated via MTT Assay. Results show equivalence to predicate devices in setting properties, mechanical stability (flexural strength, water sorption, solubility), and bond strength.

Technological Characteristics

Dual-cured self-adhesive resin cement; methacrylate ester monomer chemistry; redox or photo initiator system; phosphoric ester monomers for adhesion. Supplied in one-body syringe with automix tip. Complies with ISO 4049:2009 and ISO 11405:2003.

Indications for Use

Indicated for the cementation of all-ceramic, resin, and metal-based inlays, onlays, crowns, and bridges, as well as metal, ceramic, fiber posts, and cast post and cores.

Regulatory Classification

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

#### 4. Description of Device:

GAM-200 is a dual-cured self-adhesive resin cement. The mixed cement is hardened through the polymerization activated by redox or photo initiator system. The adhesiveness to tooth structure develops with phosphoric ester monomers which form ionic bonds with calcium ions. The acidic monomers also can polymerize with frame-forming monomers.

The components consists of Paste A and B, which are filled in a one-body syringe. Both pastes are automixed with a mixing tip and directly applied to restorations or the prepared cavity.

#### న్. Indications for Use:

1. Cementation of all types of all ceramic, resin and metal-based inlays, onlays, crowns and bridges.

- 2. Cementation of metal, ceramic, fiber posts, and cast post and cores.
#### 6. Technological characteristics:

The curing mechanism of the predicates is polymerization of uncured methacrylate ester monomers. This reaction is caused by redox or photo initiator system. These devices contain an acidic ester monomer which develops adhesiveness to tooth structures. The applicant device also has a same curing and adhesive mechanism.

{1}------------------------------------------------

The setting time of GAM-200 comes in the same range of the comparative devices and the depth of cure is equivalent. These indicate the proper setting property of the applicant for clinical use. The applicant device also shows equivalent values in flexural strength, water sorption and solubility, which indicate the stability of materials in oral environment.

#### 7. Substantial equivalence:

The applicant device complies with all the requirements of ISO 4049: 2009 (Dentistry Polymer-based restorative materials). The bond strengths of the applicant in accordance with ISO 11405: 2003 are equivalent to the predicate devices. In terms of the biological evaluation, the cytotoxicity test in accordance with MTT Assay method showed that the applicant device . is equivalent to the predicates.

#### 8. Conclusion:

Thus, the new and predicate devices are the same in function, and similar in composition and intended use. This supports that the applicant device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
