Indications for Use

Dental Blanks made from StarCeram® are indicated for crowns, multi-unit bridges, inlay bridges and all-ceramic restoration. Applications include both anterior and posterior bridges.

Device Story

StarCeram® Z-Med TransColour Red is a yttrium-stabilized, pre-sintered zirconium dioxide dental blank. Used as a semi-finished material for the fabrication of dental restorations (crowns, bridges, inlays). Dental professionals use commercial CAD/CAM systems or hand-operated copy-milling to shape the blanks into final restorations based on patient-specific needs. The device is a material modification of previously cleared StarCeram® products, featuring the addition of a color additive. The output is a custom-milled ceramic dental prosthesis. Benefits include the provision of durable, biocompatible, and aesthetically colored all-ceramic restorations.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided. Bench testing only. Biocompatibility and cytotoxicity testing performed per ISO 10993-1 and ISO 10993-5 to validate the safety of the color additive modification.

Technological Characteristics

Yttrium-stabilized pre-sintered zirconium dioxide dental blanks. Form factor: semi-finished blocks for milling. Processing: CAD/CAM or hand-operated copy-milling. Biocompatibility: Complies with ISO 10993-1 and ISO 10993-5.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring crowns, multi-unit bridges, inlay bridges, and all-ceramic restorations, including anterior and posterior bridge applications.

Regulatory Classification

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.

{1}------------------------------------------------

#### Intended Use / Indications for Use

Dental Blanks made from StarCeram® are indicated for crowns, multi-unit bridges, inlay bridges and all-ceramic restoration. Applications include both anterior and posterior bridges.

### Technological Characteristics

Dental blanks made from StarCeram® products are semi finished products made of yttrium stabilized pre-sintered zirconium dioxide for milled production of crowns and bridge framework on commercial CAD/CAM systems or hand-operated copy-milling. StarCeram® Z-Med TransColour Red is a modification to the StarCeram® products that have already been cleared by the Food and Drug Administration in K133213. StarCeram® Z-Med TransColour Red has the same intended use and fundamental scientific technology as the StarCeram® products previously cleared by FDA. The only change is the addition of a new color additive.

# Performance Data

No performance data was required or provided. Biocompatibility and cvtotoxicity testing was performed which showed that all versions of the product comply with ISO 10993-1 and ISO 10993-5. Biocompatibility testing was performed under Design Controls to show that the modified version of the product continued to comply with the recognized consensus standards.

# Substantial Equivalence

H.C. Starck's StarCeram® Z-Med Transcolour Red is a modification to the StarCeram® products cleared in K133213. StarCeram® Z-Med TransColour Red has the same intended use and indications for use, principles of operation, and similar technological characteristics as the previously cleared predicate device. StarCeram® Dental Blanks are indicated for crowns, multiunit bridges, inlay bridges and all-ceramic restoration. Applications include anterior and posterior bridges. This is the exact indications for use statement cleared for StarCeram® in K133213. Thus, StarCeram® Z-Med TransColour Red has the same intended use and may be substantially equivalent.

StarCeram® Z-Med TransColour Red has the same technological characteristics as the predicate device. All of the devices are vttrium stabilized pre-sintered zirconium dioxide to be used in dental restorations. The StarCeram® products cleared in K133213 and StarCeram® Z-Med TransColour Red are all dental blanks which are fabricated to the desired shape by the user based on the specific needs of the patient. The only

{2}------------------------------------------------

difference between StarCeram® Z-Med TransColour Red and the StarCeram® products cleared in K133213 is the addition of a color additive.

This difference has been addressed by performing biocompatibility testing which shows that the new version of the product was found to be biocompatible. Therefore, the differences do not affect the safety or effectiveness of the products.
