The 3M ESPE Lava Chairside Oral Scanner (COS) is an optical impression system (CAD/CAM) used to record the topographical characteristics of teeth.
Device Story
3M ESPE Lava Chairside Oral Scanner (COS) is an optical impression system for dental CAD/CAM. System components include a computer, proprietary software, and a handheld dental wand. Operator (dentist/qualified personnel) uses the wand in close proximity to teeth to capture surface images. Software processes inputs to generate a 3D model of teeth, stored with patient information. Accessory includes a patterning powder and sprayer applied to teeth to enhance contrast, resolution, and accuracy of 3D images. Used in clinical dental settings. Output allows clinicians to visualize dental topography for restorative planning.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Biocompatibility of the patterning powder was evaluated per ISO 10993 standards. Device safety and effectiveness supported by compliance with IEC 60601-1 (safety), IEC 60601-1-2 (EMC), and IEC 60601-1-4 (programmable electrical medical systems).
Technological Characteristics
Optical impression system; handheld wand scanner; computer-based processing. Materials: Patterning powder meets ISO 10993 biocompatibility requirements. Standards: IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-1-4, ISO 14971. Software: Programmable electrical medical system. Connectivity: Standalone system with disk storage.
Indications for Use
Indicated for recording topographical characteristics of teeth for dental CAD/CAM applications. For prescription use only.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An optical impression system for computer assisted design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) is a device used to record the topographical characteristics of teeth, dental impressions, or stone models by analog or digital methods for use in the computer-assisted design and manufacturing of dental restorative prosthetic devices. Such systems may consist of a camera, scanner, or equivalent type of sensor and a computer with software.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (Special Controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of the chapter subject to the limitations in § 872.9. The special control for these devices is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Optical Impression Systems for Computer Assisted Design and Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) of Dental Restorations; Guidance for Industry and FDA.” For the availability of this guidance document, see § 872.1(e).

### Indications for Use
The 3M ESPE Lava Chairside Oral Scanner is an optical impression system (CAD/CAM) used to record the topographical characteristics of teeth.
## Device Description
The 3M ESPE Lava Chairside Oral Scanner (Lava COS) is a system intended to obtain 3D images of the topographical characteristics of Teeth. The System consists of a computer, proprietary software and a hand held dental 'wand' for scanning the surface of the teeth.
Using the wand in close proximity to the teeth, the image of the teeth is communicated to the software and a 3D model is created by the software. The 3D model is then stored on disk along with pertinent patient information.
In this 510K pre-market notification, a powdering material and powder sprayer is added as an accessory. The 'patterning powder' to be applied to the teeth prior to obtaining 3D CAD/CAM images. The powder is intended to enhance the contrast level of the image and allow for better resolution and accuracy of the CAD/CAM images obtained by the 3M ESPE Lava Chairside Oral Scanner System. This powder is similar in composition to powders sold for use with the predicate device and as a 'stand alone' material. The powder provided by Brontes meets the applicable requirements for biocompatibility under the recognized standard ISO 10993 and does not add any new issues of safety or effectiveness.
### Performance Standards
The 3M ESPE Lava Chairside Oral Scanner (COS) meets the following Performance Standards:
