Device Story
KaVo Everest G-Blank and G-Ceram are dental materials used by dental laboratories to fabricate custom dental prosthetics. G-Blank serves as a pre-formed material for prosthetic manufacturing, while G-Ceram is a porcelain powder used for inlays, crowns, and onlays. The system includes G-Stain for shading. These materials are processed by dental technicians in a laboratory setting to fulfill prescriptions from licensed dentists. The final prosthetics are used by dentists to restore patient dentition. The device benefits patients by providing restorative dental solutions. No clinical data is required as the device is a material for dental use.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence is based on bench-level comparisons of material formulations and intended use to legally marketed predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
Porcelain powder and pre-formed blanks for dental prosthetic fabrication. Classified as 21 CFR 872.6660 (Product Code EIH). Materials are intended for laboratory processing into dental restorations.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use by dental laboratories to manufacture dental prosthetics, including inlays, crowns, and onlays, upon the order of licensed dental professionals.
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.

Dear Ms. Pottala:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898.
