Radiopaque, fluoride-releasing, resin-modified glass ionomer luting cement; used for permanent cementation of pediatric crowns (stainless steel, zirconia, resin composite). Packaged in Automix syringe delivery system for consistent mix ratios. Employs dual-cure mechanism: self-curing (acid-base reaction between fluoroaluminosilicate glass and methacrylated polycarboxylic acid; free radical polymerization of methacrylated copolymer/monomers) and light-curing (photoinitiator system with camphorquinone and 4-(dimethylamino)-phenethyl alcohol). Light-curing step enhances bond strength specifically for resin composite crowns. Used by dental professionals in clinical settings to fill gaps between crowns and prepared teeth, providing mechanical interlock and interfacial adhesion. Benefits include improved restoration longevity and versatility across different restorative materials.

# Description of Device:
3MTM RelyX™ Pediatric Resin Modified Glass Ionomer Cement is a radiopaque, fluoride-releasing, resin-modified glass ionomer luting cement. RelyX Pediatric Cement is intended for the cementation of preformed pediatric crowns made of stainless steel, zirconia, and resin composite material.
RelyX Pediatric Cement consists of a base paste and a catalyst paste packaged in the Automix delivery system for direct delivery in consistent mix ratios. The mixing tip attachment offers convenience over traditional hand mixed cement systems and delivers consistent mix ratios. The cement is available in a white shade. The Automix syringe contains 8.5 g of cement material. The product provides both selfcuring and light curing mechanisms which makes it uniquely versatile for the cementation of different restorative materials.
## Indications for Use:
Permanent cementation of pediatric crowns:
- . Stainless Steel Crowns
- . Zirconia Crowns
- 3MTM Pediatric Esthetic Crowns .
### Technological Characteristics:
Luting cements, including resin modified glass ionomer cements, are widely used to cement crowns for children and adults. Luting cements fill the gap between the crown and prepared tooth; the cured cements provide the mechanical interlock between the crown and the tooth structure. The cured resin modified glass ionomer cements not only provide strong mechanical property but also interfacial adhesion to different materials. These properties ensure the longevity of dental restoration for patients. The unique chemistry of resin modified glass ionomer cements provides strong interfacial adhesion to different materials.
RelyX Pediatric Cement is identical to the predicate device, 3M RelyX Luting Plus Automix, in terms of formulation and delivery. RelyX Pediatric Cement is marketed specifically for use with pediatric crowns of stainless steel or zirconia. with an additional indication to cement the 3M Pediatric Esthetic Crown, which is a resin composite crown.
Bonding between the cement and tooth structure or the restorative material occurs by two mechanisms: mechanical bonding through a self-curing mechanism and chemical bonding through a light-curing mechanism. The cement product performs with both self-curing and light-curing mechanisms.
{5}------------------------------------------------
Image /page/5/Picture/0 description: The image shows the 3M logo. The logo is red and features the number 3 followed by the letter M. The logo is simple and recognizable.
Self-curing: Two mechanical setting reactions occur through the self-curing mechanism.
- . An acid-base reaction between the FAS (fluoroaluminosilicate) glass and methacrylated polycarboxylic acid; and
- A free radical polymerization of the methacrylated copolymer and ethylenically ● unsaturated monomers/agents.
Light-curing: Through the light curing mechanism, a chemical bond forms in the presence of the photoinitiation system, camphorquinone (CPQ) and 4-(dimethylamino)-phenethyl alcohol (DMAPE); and can enhance the interaction between the cement and restorative material, specifically in the case of resin composite crowns.
The cementation of stainless steel and zirconia crowns is adequately achieved by the self-curing mechanism. In comparison, the cementation of 3M Pediatric Esthetic Crown requires an additional step of light-curing during the self-curing process to enhance the bonding between the cement and the resin composite material. When irradiated by light, the methacrylate functionalities of the resins in conjunction with the photoinitiator system polymerize to form a stronger and quicker bond to the resin composite crown. Therefore, the light cure step enhances an adhesive interaction between RelyX Pediatric Cement and 3M Pediatric Esthetic Crown.
## Substantial Equivalence:
Information provided in this 510(k) submission shows that the product is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices, 3M ESPE RelyX™ Luting Plus Automix (K11185) and GC FujiCEM™ 2 Luting Cement (K001730).

The technological characteristics and mode of action of RelyX Pediatric Cement is identical to the primary predicate device RelyX Luting Plus Automix in terms of fundamental reactions in self-curing and light-curing modes, in spite of its added enhancement to bond to the resin crown in light-curing mode. RelyX Pediatric Cement is also substantially equivalent to the secondary predicate device GC FujiCEM with respect to the characteristics of resin modified glass ionomer cement and fundamental reactions of acid-base reaction and polymerization.
The safety and efficacy of RelyX Pediatric Cement with stainless steel and zirconia crowns remains unchanged from the primary predicate, 3M RelyX Luting Plus Automix. The indication for use of RelyX Pediatric Cement with stainless steel and zirconia crowns is a subset of the indications for use of the primary predicate device. As RelyX Pediatric Cement is identical to the primary predicate device in formulation and delivery system, no new questions of safety and effectiveness are raised with these indications.
The product was also assessed to ISO 10993-1:2018 and it was confirmed that no additional biocompatibility testing was required to support the submission because the formulation of RelyX Pediatric Cement is identical to the predicate device since the clearance its original 510(k) and continues to meet biocompatibility requirements.
Testing was undertaken to substantiate the use of the RelyX Pediatric Cement with the 3M Pediatric Esthetic Crown, the new indication being added when compared to the predicate devices. This 510(k) submission includes data from in vitro testing per FDA Guidance "Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff Dental Cements - Premarket Notification" issued on August 18, 1998 and ISO 9917-2:2017 Dentistry - Waterbased Cements - Part 2: Resin-modified Cements. To evaluate the performance of RelyX Pediatric Cement with 3M Pediatric Esthetic composite crowns, comparative testing results for the following physical properties were included in this submission:
- . Adhesion to dentin and enamel
{8}------------------------------------------------
Image /page/8/Picture/0 description: The image shows the 3M logo. The logo consists of the number "3" and the letter "M" in a bold, red font. The background is white, which makes the red color of the logo stand out.
- Adhesion to 3M Pediatric Esthetic Crown ●
- Compressive strength ●
- Flexural strength ●
- Fluoride release
- Linear expansion
- Radiopacity
- Color Stability for esthetic properties ●
The results submitted in the 510(k) demonstrated equivalent or superior bonding of the 3M RelyX Pediatric Cement to the 3M Pediatric Esthetic Crown, dentin and enamel as compared to the primary and secondary predicates.
The stability studies conducted with the primary predicate device, RelyX™ Luting Plus Automix are applicable to RelyX Pediatric Cement because they are identical in formulations, packaging, and intended use. The established shelf life for RelyX Pediatric Cement is 24 months at room temperature within a sealed foil pouch.
### Conclusion:
3MTM RelyX™ Pediatric Resin Modified Glass Ionomer Cement is substantially equivalent to the primary predicate device 3M RelyX™ Luting Plus Automix in terms of intended use, formulation, biocompatibility, physical properties, technological characteristics, and indications for use to cement stainless steel and zirconia crowns. 3MTM RelyX™ Pediatric Cement with additional light curing step is substantially equivalent to the secondary predicate device GC FuiiCEM™ 2 in terms of intended use and the indication for use to cement 3M Pediatric Esthetic Crown, a resin composite crown. Testing has been conducted that demonstrates the 3MTM RelyX™ Pediatric Resin Modified Glass Ionomer Cement performs as intended with the 3M Pediatric Esthetic composite crowns and the new indication for use with the 3M Pediatric Esthetic composite crowns does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.
