KaVo Everest G-Ceram is used in the manufacture of inlays, crowns, and onlays. KaVo proposes that the materials, when intended for distribution in the United States, be labeled: CAUTION: Federal (US) law restricts the sale of this device to, or on the order of, licensed professionals. ## Device Story KaVo Everest G-Blank and G-Ceram are dental materials used by dental laboratories to fabricate custom dental prosthetics. G-Blank serves as a pre-formed material for prosthetic manufacturing, while G-Ceram is a porcelain powder used for inlays, crowns, and onlays. The system includes G-Stain for shading. These materials are processed by dental technicians in a laboratory setting to fulfill prescriptions from licensed dentists. The final prosthetics are used by dentists to restore patient dentition. The device benefits patients by providing restorative dental solutions. No clinical data is required as the device is a material for dental use. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data. Substantial equivalence is based on bench-level comparisons of material formulations and intended use to legally marketed predicate devices. ## Technological Characteristics Porcelain powder and pre-formed blanks for dental prosthetic fabrication. Classified as 21 CFR 872.6660 (Product Code EIH). Materials are intended for laboratory processing into dental restorations. ## Regulatory Identification Porcelain powder for clinical use is a device consisting of a mixture of kaolin, felspar, quartz, or other substances intended for use in the production of artificial teeth in fixed or removable dentures, of jacket crowns, facings, and veneers. The device is used in prosthetic dentistry by heating the powder mixture to a high temperature in an oven to produce a hard prosthesis with a glass-like finish. ## Predicate Devices - Empress - ProCAD ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
