It is intended to be used solely by certified dental technicians for fabrication of zirconium dioxide restorations for individual dental patients. ## Device Story BruxZir Steel™ is an alcohol-based tantalum ethoxide coloring liquid applied to 4.6-4.9 mol% yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) substrates prior to sintering. Used in dental laboratories by certified technicians; the liquid is brushed onto the zirconia ceramic. During the sintering process, the solution burns out, incorporating sub-micron sized tantalum pentoxide into the zirconia substrate. This process enhances the shade, flexural strength, and fracture toughness of the final dental restoration. The healthcare provider uses the resulting prosthesis to restore individual dental patients. The device benefits patients by providing a stronger, more esthetic, porcelain-like dental restoration. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Biocompatibility testing performed per ISO 10993-5:2009 (cytotoxicity) and ISO 10993-10:2010 (sensitization, irritation) confirmed non-toxicity and non-irritation. Mechanical testing per ISO 6872:2015 confirmed flexural strength (1 GPa), fracture toughness (≥5.0 MPa·m1/2), and solubility (≤100 µg/cm²). Color testing performed per ISO 11664-4:2019. ## Technological Characteristics Alcohol-based tantalum ethoxide solution; incorporates sub-micron tantalum pentoxide into zirconia substrate during sintering. Non-sterile. Designed for use on 4.6-4.9 mol% yttria-stabilized zirconia. Tested per ISO 6872:2015 (mechanical), ISO 10993 (biocompatibility), and ISO 11664-4:2019 (color). ## 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 - DMAX Coloring Liquid ([K173769](/device/K173769.md)) ## Reference Devices - ZirBlank®-FS ([K070045](/device/K070045.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

DEVICE DESCRIPTION BruxZir Steel™ is a Coloring Liquid used to produce a natural whitening effect while increasing the flexural strength and fracture toughness of 4.6 - 4.9 mol% yttriastabilized zirconia (YSZ). The product increases the shade esthetics of the restoration while maintaining the translucency. Application of the zirconia substrate prior to sintering provides enhanced shade characteristics and improved flexural strength and fracture toughness. #### E. INDICATIONS FOR USE BruxZir Steel™ can be used as an accessory to zirconium dioxide dental restorative material to provide individual tooth (or teeth) shading and to produce a strong prosthesis with a porcelain-like finish. It is intended to be used solely by certified dental technicians for fabrication of zirconium dioxide restorations for individual dental patients. #### F. DETERMINATION OF SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE The subject device, BruxZir Steel™, is substantially equivalent to the primary predicate device, DMAX Coloring Liquid, (K173769) in intended use, material, design and performance. The Indications for Use Statement (IFUS) for the subject device is substantially equivalent to that of the primary predicate. Both the subject device and the primary predicate device can be used as an accessory to zirconium dioxide dental restorative material to provide individual tooth (or teeth) shading and intended to be used solely by certified dental technicians for fabrication of zirconium dioxide restorations for individual dental patients. Slight difference in the subject device and primary predicate device Indications for Use does not affect the intended use and is supported by the reference device, ZirBlank®-FS (K070045). The subject device and the reference device include tantalum. The performance testing data also supports a new indication for use by showing that the subject device increases the flexural strength and fracture toughness of zirconia. Both IFUS express equivalent intended use to facilitate fabrication of zirconium dioxide restorations for individual dental patients, and indication for a strong prosthesis with a porcelain-like finish is expressed equivalently using different specific wording. {5}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/5/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for Prismatik Dentalcraft, Inc. The logo consists of a colorful triangle on the left and the company name on the right. The triangle is divided into several sections, each with a different color. The company name is written in blue, with "PRISMATIK" on the top line and "DENTALCRAFT, INC." on the bottom line. 3 ### K200131 The differences between the predicate device and the subject device in terms of chemical composition are the presence of tantalum(V) oxide, less amount of silicon dioxide, and absence of sodium in the subject device. After sintering, the remaining tantalum pentoxide, which is incorporated into the zirconia substrate, is proven biocompatible. Silicon dioxide in the predicate device is a whitening agent, which makes the zirconia restoration whiter. The absence of sodium in the subject device does not affect the intended use. Although the base solutions for BruxZir Steel™ and DMAX Coloring Liquid are not identical (i.e. alcohol-based solution and water-based solution respectively), the difference does not affect the intended use, performance characteristics, or principle of operation. The subject device and the reference device employ tantalum prior to sintering the zirconia substrate. Substantial equivalence of the subject device components to the reference device in terms of biocompatibility is supported by the fact that tantalum has been acknowledged as being biocompatible for use in dental applications. Nonetheless, biocompatibility testing was performed on the subject device and the device was proven biocompatible. The comparison table below (Table 7-1) outlines and provides the similarities and differences among the subject device, primary predicate device and reference device. In summary, the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. #### PERFORMANCE DATA G. Non-clinical data submitted to demonstrate substantial equivalence included: - Biocompatibility according to ISO 10993-5:2009 and ISO 10993-10:2010 ● - The Cytotoxicity Report shows that there was no evidence of causing cell । lysis or toxicity. - The Sensitization Report shows that there was no reaction on the tested subject. - The Irritation Report shows that the test article was considered a nonirritant. - - Mechanical testing for flexural strength, fracture toughness, solubility . according to ISO 6872:2015 - . L* value obtained from L*a*b* color space testing after applying BruxZir Steel™ onto zirconia for dental restoration according to ISO 11664-4:2019. Biological evaluation within a risk management process was performed in accordance with ISO 10993-1:2018 and EN ISO 14971:2012. No clinical data were included in this submission. {6}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/6/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for Prismatik Dentalcraft, Inc.
