KG Schwenninger Straße 13 D-75179 Pforzheim Postfach 20 40 D-75120 Pforzheim Telefon 0 72 31/37 05-0 Telefax 0 72 31/35 79 59 510 (k) Summary APR 3 0 2007 ## Device description PressX Zr is a dental press ceramic system that is intended to be used by professional dental technicians to manufacture all-ceramic dental prostheses for the sole use of particular patients. The PressX Zr system consists of solid glass ceramic (porcelain) pellets, which are intended to be pressed onto zirconium dioxide frameworks at high temperature, and of porcelain powders, which are intended to stain these all-ceramic restorations, individually. After overpressing, the restoration can be finished either by using the staining- or by using the layering-technique. For staining, the PressX Zr powders (Bodystains + Glaze) which are components of the PressX Zr system have to be applied. For lavering, the ZIROX -- powders (a product of Wieland Dental + Technik, K051249) have to be used. PressX Zr can be pressed onto any zirconium dioxide material, which has a coefficient of thermal expansion [CTE (25-500°C]] of about 10 x 10° K'. ### Indications for use The indications of the all -ceramic restorations, which are fabricated with zirconium dioxide frameworks and PressX Zr are mainly determined by the specifications of the zirconium dioxide framework materials and are fixed by their manufacturers. Usually, zirconium dioxide frameworks are intended for manufacturing dental crowns and bridges for the anterior and posterior region. Additionally, PressX Zr can be used to manufacture all-ceramic inlays, onlays, and veneers without zirconium dioxide frameworks. There is no limitation of the device regarding the patient population, in which commonly known contraindications for all-ceramic restorations, like bruxism, have to be considered by the dentists. #### Comparison with the predicate device PressX Zr equals the predicate device with regard to the intended use, material constituents, application process (overpressing technique), recommended framework material, biocompatibility and chemical solubility. Compared to the predicate device, PressX Zr has a higher flexural strength according to ISO 6872, and "standard crowns" made of PressX Zr have a significantly higher fracture resistance. For this reason, PressX Zr is at least as safe, as effective and performs as well or better than the predicate device. {1}------------------------------------------------ # DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Image /page/1/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.

The indications of these all-ceramic restorations are defined by the manufacturers of the zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) framework material, and normally encompass dental crowns and bridges. The coefficient of thermal expansion [CTE (25 - 500°C]] of these zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) frameworks has to equal approximately 10 x 10°K1 In addition, PressX Zr can be used to manufacture all-ceramic inlays, onlays, and veneers without zirconium dioxide frameworks.
