Used in dental clinics, the blocks are mounted to a metal carrier, inserted into a Sirona CAD/CAM grinding machine, and milled into custom dental restorations (crowns/veneers). Final color appearance is achieved via stain and glaze firing. The device enables dentists to produce patient-specific restorations chairside, potentially reducing wait times for dental prosthetics. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data. Bench testing only, specifically bending strength tests performed per ISO 6872:2008. ## Technological Characteristics Silicate glass ceramic block; composition includes SiO2 (55-65%), Al2O3 (17-24%), Na2O (5-9%), K2O (7-11%), B2O3 (0-2%). Mounted on metal carrier for grinding. Biocompatible per ISO 10993-1:2009. Bending strength 123 ± 18 MPa. CTE (20–500 °C) (9.3 ± 0.3)10^-6 K^-1. Density 2.36 g/cm³. Transformation range 620 ± 20 °C. ## 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 - Vita's Vitablocs® ([K090644](/device/K090644.md)) - Wieland Dental + Technik's Press X Zr ([K070772](/device/K070772.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

The block consists of an inlying, highly-chromatic dentine core and an overlying translucent enamel layer. It is grinded to custom made dental restorations using Sirona CAD/CAM systems. The block is initially manufactured in a sintered state; then, is individually processed to specification. One end plane of a block is mounted to a metal carrier that is inserted in the spindle's clamping chuck of the grinding machine. CEREC Blocs C In are available in several colors and additional bleach color. The dental restorations obtain their individual color appearance by stain and glaze firing. #### 8 Scientific Concept The underlying scientific concept is - · Processing dental restorations by Sirona Dental CAD/CAM System - · Restorations are grinded from an CEREC C In by a Sirona CAM machine #### Physical and Performance Characteristics 9 #### 9.1 Design The design of the CEREC Blocs C In is described in section 7, Device Description. #### 9.2 Material Used CEREC C In ceramics constitute blocks comprised of silicate glass ceramic. One end plane of a block is mounted to a metal carrier that is inserted in the spindle's {2}------------------------------------------------ clamping chuck of the grinding machine. The material is biocompatible according to ISO 10993-1: 2009, "Biological evaluation of medical devices -- Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process". #### 9.3 Physical Properties Final technical data of CEREC C In: | Properties | Value | |-------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------| | Coefficient of thermal expansion CTE
