These blanks serve as raw material for dental laboratories to fabricate prosthetic dental devices, including artificial teeth for fixed or removable dentures, jacket crowns, facings, and veneers. The device is used by dental professionals in a laboratory setting to create custom dental restorations. The blanks are milled or shaped into the final prosthetic form, providing a durable ceramic base for dental applications. The final product benefits patients by restoring dental function and aesthetics. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data; bench testing only. ## Technological Characteristics Zirconia-based ceramic material; supplied as pre-formed blanks for dental milling/fabrication; non-sterile; standalone material for dental prosthetic production. ## 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 - Bisque Zirconia Blanks, Type BYZ ([K081850](/device/K081850.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
