## Indications for Use

Imagine Reflex is a dental ceramic that can be used by dental technicians to fabricate porcelain-fused-to-metal restorations. It is suitable for veneering dental alloys with a coefficient of thermal expansion [CTE(25 -500°C): 13.8 – 15.1 x 10*K¹] and a solidus temperature that has to exceed 1000°C (1830°F) as well as electroformed galvanogold. Imagine Reflex can be used for veneering inlays, partial crowns, single crowns, and bridges.

## Device Story

Imagine Reflex is a dental ceramic powder used by dental technicians to create porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) restorations. The material is applied as a veneer over compatible dental alloys or electroformed galvanogold to fabricate inlays, partial crowns, single crowns, and bridges. The device functions as a restorative material in a dental laboratory setting. By providing a ceramic coating, it enables the creation of durable, aesthetic dental prosthetics that restore tooth function and appearance for patients requiring crown or bridge work.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

Dental ceramic powder for porcelain-fused-to-metal restorations. Compatible with dental alloys having CTE (25-500°C) of 13.8–15.1 x 10⁻⁶/K and solidus temperature >1000°C, or electroformed galvanogold. Material is a powder for clinical/laboratory 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.
