Intended Use
To construct cosmetic prosthetic dental restoratives for use in fixed restorations with or without metal frameworks to include: - single crowns, - telescope crowns, - conus crowns, - bridges, - Maryland bridges, - bridges on implants, - inlays, - onlays - facettes (laminate veneers), and - restorations.
Device Story
CRISTOBAL is a layered composite restorative dental material; composed of silanized barium borosilicate particles (74.2 weight percent) in a matrix of Bis-GMA, TEDMA, and UDDMA. Device functions as a tooth-colored restorative material for fixed prosthetics; provides wear resistance, flexural strength, and damage resistance. Applied by dental professionals in a clinical setting to construct crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, and veneers. Material requires light curing for complete polymerization; radio-opaque properties allow for functional and mechanical longevity. Output is a prosthetic restoration providing natural tooth aesthetics and occlusal function; benefits patient through durable, cosmetic tooth replacement.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is based on bench testing comparing physical and mechanical properties, including flexural strength, modulus of flexibility, compressive strength, Vickers hardness, abrasion, and polymerization shrinkage against predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
Composite restorative material; composition: silanized barium borosilicate particles (77% by weight), Bis-GMA, TEDMA, UDDMA matrix. Light-cured polymerization. Radio-opaque. Mechanical properties: 155 MPa flexural strength, 8500 MPa flexural modulus, 670 N/mm² Vickers hardness. Form factor: layered composite material for dental prosthetics.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring fixed cosmetic prosthetic dental restorations, including single crowns, telescope/conus crowns, bridges (with or without metal frameworks), Maryland bridges, implant-supported bridges, inlays, onlays, and laminate veneers.
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.

#### B. Device Identification
Common/Usual Name Proprietary Name:
Glass Strength Restorative Dental Materials CRISTOBAL
#### C. Identification of Predicate Device(s)
CRISTOBAL is substantially equivalent to the following previously cleared and currently marketing devices:
> Kulzer Dentacolor (K831215) Heraeus Kulzer ArtGlass (K954115)
#### D. Device Description
CRISTOBAL consists of a series of layered composite restorative glass strength materials, combining the benefit of porcelain, composite and dental alloys, whose combined properties of wear resistance, flexural strength, maximum compressive strength and bulk modulus, make it suitable for all types of fixed cosmetic prosthetic restorations. CRISTOBAL offers the patient a tooth colored occlusal surface with the feeling of natural teeth.
CRISTOBAL is subject to complete polymerization for optimal reactions of the various materials. Due to the fact that the light curing material of CRISTOBAL is radioand its matrix has a very high content in inorganic particles (barium opaque. borosilicate), it allows for the production of fixed prostheses with functional, mechanical, and cosmetic longevity.
CRISTOBAL is composed of silanized barium borosilicate particles, a non-fracturable filler material, which are closely packed (74.2 weight percent) providing optimal silanization and cohesion of glass thereby ensuring protection against fracture together, with strong resistance to damage. With the matrix of Bis-GMA, TEDMA and UDDMA, these elastic memory properties also ensure damage resistance.
{1}------------------------------------------------
## E. Substantial Equivalence
The technical characteristics of CRISTOBAL are almost identical to those of the Heraeus Kulzer ArtGlass and the Kulzer Dentacolor. Refer to Table A for a comparison of these predicate devices. Differences that exist between these devices relating to technical specifications, materials, physical appearance, and control systems, do not affect the relative safety or effectiveness of the CRISTOBAL materials.
The Newave Medical CRISTOBAL, the Heraeus Kulzer ArtGlass, and the Kulzer Dentacolor are intended to be used for construction of cosmetic prosthetic restoratives for use in fixed restorations, with or without metal frameworks for:
- single crowns, .
- telescope crowns, .
- conus crowns, .
- bridges, (with metal-frame) ●
- Maryland bridges, .
- bridges on implants, .
- inlays, .
- onlays .
- facettes (laminate veneers), and ●
- restorations. .
