Intended Use
TESCERAFLO is a dual-cure (heat/light) composite designed to be used for direct or indirect restorations. Its physical properties are similar to the predicate device and uses are identical.
Device Story
TESCERAFLO is a dual-cured (light/heat), moderately filled (60% by weight) low modulus flowable composite restorative material. Supplied in a syringe; used by dental professionals for direct or indirect dental restorations, including veneers, core buildups, and repairs. Curing achieved via conventional light-curing or specialized heat/light processing (e.g., TESCERA ATL) in oxygen-free environments. Material replaces missing tooth structure or masks dental anomalies; provides structural support and esthetic restoration. Benefits include versatility in restorative applications and biocompatibility.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Biocompatibility testing performed; device found to be non-toxic.
Technological Characteristics
Dual-cured (light/heat) flowable composite; 60% by weight barium glass and silica filler; dimethacrylate resin matrix. Supplied in syringe. Compatible with heat/light curing devices (e.g., TESCERA ATL).
Indications for Use
Indicated for: 1. Esthetic restorative material for Class III, IV, and V. 2. Conservative Class I and Class II not involving opposing occlusal contact for direct or indirect use. 3. Direct Esthetic veneer restorative for masking stains and developmental anomalies. 4. Pit and fissure sealant. 5. Core buildup material to replace missing tooth structure. 6. Direct cement/luting agent and dental liner. 7. Indirect cement for use with reinforcement materials to fabricate crowns and bridges. 8. Composite/porcelain repair material.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Tooth shade resin material is a device composed of materials such as bisphenol-A glycidyl methacrylate (Bis-GMA) intended to restore carious lesions or structural defects in teeth.

Dear Dr. Joung:
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.
