Intended Use
ZenSeal Pro, a Bioceramic sealer intended for use as a permanent endodontic sealer after removal of infected or necrotic pulp tissue.
Device Story
ZenSeal Pro is a premixed, injectable bioceramic root canal sealer based on calcium silicate. It is an insoluble, radiopaque paste that requires moisture to set and harden. The device is supplied in a pre-loaded syringe with disposable delivery tips. It is used by dental professionals in a clinical setting to perform permanent root canal obturation. The sealer is placed into the canal either by direct injection or by coating a gutta-percha point before insertion. It is compatible with warm vertical condensation, single cone, cold lateral condensation, and gutta-percha carrier techniques. The clinician uses the sealer to fill the root canal space after pulp removal; the radiopacity allows for post-operative radiographic assessment of the obturation quality. The device benefits patients by providing a biocompatible, effective seal for endodontic treatment, facilitating healing and preventing reinfection.

## Non-Clinical Test Data:
Performance testing was performed per ISO 6876:2012 to ensure that the ZenSeal Pro meets specifications for its intended use. All test results met their acceptance criteria and support that the ZenSeal Pro is appropriately designed for their intended use.
Test results on Flowability, Setting time, Film thickness, Solubility, pH, and radiopacity of the subject device are very similar to predicate device.
Biocompatibility testing was performed to verify the equivalent safety of the materials.
- ISO 6876: 2012, Dentistry - Root canal sealing materials
- Shelf-life testing conducted per ISO 6876: 2012
## Flowability
The flowability test was performed on three (3) samples according to ISO 6876:2012 test method described in ISO 6876:2012 and TM-Patch-001. The paste's flowability was verified and all samples met the required flowability specification of ≥ 17mm when tested.
## Setting Time
Setting time was performed on three (3) samples using gypsum mold as stated in ISO 6876:2012 section 5.4 as Zenseal Pro is an endo sealer that requires moisture for setting. The paste's setting time was verified, and all samples met the required setting time of ≤ 48 hours when tested.
Setting time was tested at various time intervals. The time interval to test setting time is as follows: 8 hours after start of sample preparation, 24 hours after start of sample preparation, 32 hours after start of sample preparation and 48 hours after start of sample preparation.
## Film thickness
The film thickness was performed on three (3) samples according to ISO 6876:2012. The paste's film thickness was verified, and all samples met the required film thickness of ≤ 50 μm when tested.
## Radiopacity
Radiopacity was performed according to TI 920.013, and it was verified to be ≥ 3mm aluminum (300%Al) when tested. TI 920.013 refers to radiopacity measurement based on the gray scale of the 1 mm thick sample as correlated to the gray scale of standard aluminum step wedge with known thickness. This is similar to the described test method in ISO 13116:2014 using digital equipment and currently is implemented for radiopacity measurement of restorative dental materials per ISO 4049:2019.
The test method in ISO 6876:2012 is based on radiopacity determination by optical density comparison of the 1 mm thick sample versus a standard aluminum step wedge with known thickness. This is similar to the described test method in ISO 13116:2014 using analogue equipment.
Therefore it can be concluded that the digital radiopacity test method TI 920.013 is equivalent to the analog radiopacity test method listed in ISO 6876:2012.
## Solubility
Solubility was tested per ISO6876:2012 on three (3) samples. The paste's solubility was verified, and all samples met the required solubility specification of ≤ 3% and showed no visible disintegration.
## pH
pH was performed following TI905.002 on five (5) samples with a 10mm diameter and 1mm thickness. Samples were immersed in 25 mL distilled/MilliQ water. Results indicated an average of 11.02 pH.
The 24 hours of storage was conducted at 37°C oven to mimic oral/root canal environment. One-sample t-analysis shows that the product is able to increase the pH of water to reach pH ≥ 9 after 24 hours immersion.

# Clinical Performance Data:
The clinical evaluation of ZenSeal Pro was conducted as a prospective, in-vivo study at the Autonomous University of San Luis Potosí, Mexico. The study aimed to validate the safety and efficacy of ZenSeal Pro across three obturation techniques: warm vertical condensation, single cone, cold lateral condensation and gutta-percha carrier obturator technique.
**Primary endpoints:**
Evaluation of clinical safety and efficacy of ZenSeal Pro on an anterior or a posterior tooth when used following the manufacturer’s Instruction For Use.
**Secondary endpoints:**
Evaluation of ZenSeal Pro when obturating the teeth with cold and warm obturation techniques.
Quality of root canal obturation assessed on periapical radiographic – length and density of the root canal obturation.
Pre-operative pain and post-operative pain – 48h after the procedure.
Post-operative evaluation 6 month and 1 year after the procedure.
A total of 112 teeth in 99 patients were treated by 10 qualified clinicians, exceeding the minimum requirements for sample size and procedural diversity.
ZenSeal Pro demonstrated consistent clinical performance across all techniques. Radiographic assessments showed that over 98% of root canals achieved adequate obturation length, and 100% met the criteria for obturation density and taper.

Traditional 510(k) Premarket Notification ZenSeal Pro
Clinician satisfaction scores were uniformly high, with average ratings ranging from 4.20 to 4.78 across all evaluated parameters, including flowability, radiopacity, obturation quality, and ease of use.
All three techniques passed the acceptance criteria with no statistically significant differences in performance. Post-operative outcomes further supported the product's safety profile.
Within 48 hours of treatment, 91% of patients reported minimal or no pain (pain score 0–1), and no patients reported pain above level 4. Only 6.25% of patients required analgesics post-operatively, and all reported effective pain relief. Importantly, no adverse events, serious adverse events, or protocol deviations were reported during the study.
The study also confirmed ZenSeal Pro’s adaptability to various clinical scenarios, including cases with periapical radiolucency and complex canal anatomies. The product’s high flowability facilitated effective obturation even in accessory and curved canals, and its radiopacity allowed for clear post-operative assessment. In conclusion, ZenSeal Pro has been clinically validated as a safe, effective, and user-friendly bioceramic sealer suitable for a wide range of endodontic procedures. Its performance across multiple obturation techniques, combined with high clinician satisfaction and excellent patient outcomes, supports its readiness for clinical use and market release. Additionally, all Voice of the Customer (VOC) requirements were successfully met, confirming the product’s alignment with key user expectations and clinical demands.
