Device Story

Leucite-ceramic pellets used for dental restoration fabrication via heat-pressing technique. Operates as press-on-metal or all-ceramic system. Used by dental professionals in clinical/lab settings. Input: ceramic pellets; Output: anatomical crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, veneers. Benefits patient by providing aesthetic, functional dental restorations. Device is a material modification (pigment percentages) of existing porcelain systems.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Tested per ISO 6872:2008 (Type II Class 1a&b and 2a esthetic dental ceramic) and ISO 9693:1999/A1:2005 (Metal-Ceramic Bond Strength). Evaluated for flexural strength, chemical solubility, CTE, and glass transition temperature. Results demonstrate substantial equivalence to predicate devices.

Technological Characteristics

Leucite-ceramic material. Form factor: pellets. Processing: heat-pressing technique. Compatible with dental alloys (CTE 13.6-14.6 x 10^-6/K, copper-free, <14% silver). Tested to ISO 6872:2008 and ISO 9693:1999 standards.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring dental restorations, including single unit fully anatomical crowns, splinted crowns, and bridges in anterior/posterior regions (press-on-metal), or single unit anterior all-ceramic restorations (crowns, inlays, onlays, veneers). Contraindicated for patients with bruxism, substantially reduced residual dentition, or deep sub-gingival preparations.

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.

Predicate Devices

• Prismatik NetPress (K050144)
• IPS InLine PoM System (K071848)

# 510(K) SUMMARY

#### Synspar Advanced Pressable Ceramic

Rev. 1

Technological Characteristics: The Synspar Advance Pressable Ceramic (Pellets) represents a shade modification (pigment percentages) to the Prismatik NetPress (510k No. K050144) and can be used in the same "Press on Metal" technique as IPS InLine POM (K071848). Both Synspar Advance and Prismatic Netpress pellets represent modifications to the Synspar and Avante Porcelain Systems by Ardent Inc. Changes have been made in the device's formulation and processing technique.

Testing Summary: Synspar Advance Pressable Ceramic (Pellets) was tested according to ISO 6872:2008 and is classified as Type II Class 1a&b and 2a esthetic dental ceramic. Synspar Advanced Pressable Ceramic was also tested for Metal-Ceramic Bond Strength in accordance with ISO 9693:1999, A1:2005 Dentistry: Metal-ceramic dental restorative systems for its use in the Press on Metal technique. The device has been tested for flexural strength, chemical solubility, CTE, Metal-Ceramic Bond Strength, and Glass transition temperature and the results of such testing are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

All of the components have been used in legally marketed devices. The formulations have not been changed in ways that may adversely impact safety or efficacy.

We believe that the prior use of the components in legally marketed devices, the similarity in the formulations between the modified device and the marketed device, and the data provided regarding the modifications to the marketed device support the safety and effectiveness of the Synspar Advance Pressable Ceramic (Pellets) for the intended use.
