## Indications for Use

Zirox is a dental ceramic that can be used by dental technicians to fabricate all-ceramic restorations by veneering zirconium oxide (ZrO2) frameworks. The coefficient of thermal expansion [CTE (25-500°C) of these zirconium oxide (ZrO₂) frameworks has to equal approximately 10x10*9K1

## Device Story

Zirox is a dental porcelain system comprising 127 ceramic powders; used by professional dental technicians in laboratory settings to fabricate all-ceramic dental appliances. Device functions as a veneering material for zirconium oxide (ZrO2) frameworks; provides aesthetic dental restorations. Technician applies ceramic powders to framework; material meets ISO 6872:1995 standards for dental ceramics. Output is a finished dental restoration for patient use; aids in restoring dental function and aesthetics.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Device meets ISO 6872:1995 requirements for dental ceramics.

## Technological Characteristics

Dental ceramic powder system; 127 variants including liners, dentines, modifiers, incisals, stains, and glazes. Material properties designed for compatibility with zirconium oxide frameworks having a CTE of approximately 10 x 10^-6 K^-1. Complies with ISO 6872:1995.

## 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.

Trade/Device Name: ZIROX Regulation Number: 21 CFR 872.6660 Regulation Name: Porcelain powder for clinical use Regulatory Class: II Product Code: EIH Dated: May 4, 2005 Received: May 16, 2005

Dear Mr. Polzer:

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 cither 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. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Page 2 - Mr. Polzer

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050. This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0115. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97).
