Used by dental professionals to fuse sections of aluminium oxide frameworks for dental bridges. The addition of aluminium oxide particles to the joint material provides increased fracture resistance compared to the predicate device. The device functions as a dental restorative material. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Evidence demonstrates increased fracture resistance (24-47% improvement) compared to the predicate device. ## Technological Characteristics Material: Aluminium oxide particles, glass material, dispersant, binder, de-ionized water. Function: Dental bridge framework fusion. Form: Suspension. The device is a dental porcelain powder/suspension for clinical use. ## 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 - Procera® AllCeram Fusing Material ([K983453](/device/K983453.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
