Device Story
AdheSE DC Activator is a dental bonding agent component used by dentists in clinical settings. It functions as an activator for dual- or self-curing composite materials. The device is applied during the cementation of indirect metal-free restorations (inlays, onlays, crowns, bridges) or posts, and during direct restorations or core build-ups. By facilitating the curing process of the composite, it ensures proper bonding of the restoration or build-up material to the tooth structure. The clinician applies the activator to the composite material to initiate or accelerate polymerization, resulting in a stable, bonded dental restoration. This process benefits the patient by providing secure, durable retention of dental prosthetics and restorative materials.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Resin tooth bonding agent (21 CFR 872.3200). Chemical activator for dual- or self-curing composite materials. Class II device.
Indications for Use
Indicated for adhesive cementation of indirect metal-free restorations (inlays, onlays, crowns, bridges) or metal-free posts using dual or self-curing composites, and for direct restorations and core build-ups using dual or self-curing composites.

Dear Mr. Gulati:
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.
