(Dba Continental - **Product Code:** [EIH](/submissions/DE/subpart-g%E2%80%94miscellaneous-devices/EIH.md) - **Decision Date:** Oct 24, 2012 - **Decision:** SESE - **Submission Type:** Traditional - **Regulation:** 21 CFR 872.6660 - **Device Class:** Class 2 - **Review Panel:** Dental - **Attributes:** Therapeutic ## Indications for Use CDC Zirconia Blanks are intended for use with CAD/CAM technology to produce all-ceramic dental restorations (copings, frameworks, inlays, onlays, crowns and bridges) as prescribed by a dentist. This product is for professional use only. Not for use by the general public or OTC. ## Device Story CDC Zirconia Blanks consist of pressed and sintered Yttria-stabilized zirconia blocks. Used in dental laboratories with CAD/CAM milling machines to fabricate all-ceramic dental restorations (copings, frameworks, inlays, onlays, crowns, bridges). After milling, blocks undergo sintering to achieve high-strength ceramic properties. Operated by dental professionals; output is a custom-milled dental prosthetic. Benefits include high-strength, durable, all-ceramic restorative material for clinical dental applications. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided. Safety and effectiveness supported by successful prior use of components in legally marketed devices and similarity of formulations to previously cleared devices. ## Technological Characteristics Material: Yttria-stabilized Zirconia. Form factor: Pressed and sintered blocks for CAD/CAM milling. Energy source: N/A (mechanical milling). Sterilization: Not specified. Connectivity: N/A. ## 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 - Upcera Zirconia Blanks ([K093560](/device/K093560.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
