## Indications for Use

The Accu-Dent XD impression materials are recommended for use to create highly detailed impressions of the hard and soft tissues of the oral cavity including the following list of indications: Complete and partial denture impressions Opposing models for fixed and removable prosthesis Study Model Temporary crown & Bridge impressions Whitening Trays Mouth Guards Orthodontic Impressions

## Device Story

Accu-Dent XD is a two-part alginate impression system comprising a tray material and a syringe material. The clinician mixes the powders with water, loads the tray material into a preformed perforated impression tray, and loads the syringe material into a plastic delivery syringe. The syringe material is dispensed directly onto oral tissues, followed by insertion of the filled tray. The materials polymerize in the mouth to capture the dentition structure. The tray material features a chromatic color change to indicate setting. Once set, the impression is removed, disinfected, and used to pour dental stone models. The system is used in a dental clinic setting by a dentist or dental professional. The output is a physical impression used to fabricate restorative prosthetic devices, study models, or orthodontic appliances, aiding in clinical decision-making and treatment planning.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. The device was evaluated against ISO 21563:2013 standards for dental hydrocolloid impression materials. Performance metrics included working time, setting time, compressive strength, tear strength, strain in compression, recovery from deformation, and gypsum compatibility. Results demonstrated compliance with ISO requirements and equivalence to predicate performance.

## Technological Characteristics

Two-part alginate impression system (Tray and Syringe materials). Materials conform to ISO 21563:2013. Delivered in pre-dosed sealed pouches. Tray material exhibits chromatic color change upon setting. Manual mixing with water. Mechanical polymerization in the oral cavity. No electronic components or software.

## Regulatory Identification

Impression material is a device composed of materials such as alginate or polysulfide intended to be placed on a preformed impression tray and used to reproduce the structure of a patient's teeth and gums. The device is intended to provide models for study and for production of restorative prosthetic devices, such as gold inlays and dentures.

## Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (Special Controls).

passion vision inr#### Intended Use:

The Accu-Dent XD impression materials are recommended for use to create highly detailed impressions of the hard and soft tissues of the oral cavity including the following list of indications:

- Complete and partial denture impressions
- . Opposing models for fixed and removable prosthesis
- Study Model ●
- . Temporary crown & Bridge impressions
- . Whitening Trays
- . Mouth Guards
- Orthodontic Impressions ●

Comparison to Predicate: The predicate device to which Accu-Dent XD has been compared is Tropicalgin (K043131) & Neocolloid (K981091) by Zhermack sPA . Accu-Dent XD consists of a tray material (comparable to Tropicalgin) and a Syringe material (comparable to Neocolloid) which, when used together are intended to take impressions of the oral cavity. The materials have been compared based on physical properties for working time, strain in compression, recovery from deformation, tear strength, gypsum compatibility and detail reproduction. Accu-Dent XD materials have been determined to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

Image /page/6/Picture/3 description: The image shows the logo for Ivoclar Vivadent. The logo is in blue and green, with the words "ivoclar vivadent" in a bold, sans-serif font. Above the words are a series of green and blue dots and squares. Below the words is the tagline "passion vision innovation" in a smaller, sans-serif font.

Discussion: No variation except that the Tray and Syringe materials are intended to be used together. The predicate materials were intended to be used alone. The tray and syringe materials have been tested to work together. Once inserted into the mouth, they adhere together and pose no additional safety or efficacy issues.

| Discussion  ISO 21563 is a consolidation of 3 standards relating to impression materials<br>including ISO 1563:1990 for Alginate impression materials.  Under the new standard, the<br>alginate materials are now required to be subject to the same tear strength test that has<br>been in effect for the agar hydrocolloid impression materials (ISO 1564 and ISO 13716)<br>instead of being subject to a compressive strength. This is understood to be a better<br>performance measure. |                                     |                                                                   |  |

Accu-Dent XD

Revised April 3, 2015

Image /page/8/Picture/3 description: The image shows the logo for Ivoclar Vivadent. The logo features the company name in two lines, with "Ivoclar" in a larger, bold blue font above "Vivadent" in a similar blue font. Above the company name is a semi-circular arrangement of green and blue dots and squares. Below the company name is the company slogan "passion vision innovation".

| Discussion:  The primary change from the predicate is the powder/water ratio for the mixed |                                                   |          |          |                                           |          |          |

alginate. This change impacts the physical properties, but not in a significant manner. The most notable change is the difference in the Recovery from deformation results. Although lower, the result remains within the acceptance criteria of the ISO 21563 and ISO 1563 of minimum 95%. Therefore, there is no expectation that the clinical outcome of the impression or the ultimate restoration will be affected.

Guidance Document: This submission follow the requirements set out in FDA Guidance Document entitled Dental Impression Materials - Premarket Notification dated August 17, 1998.

CONCLUSION: The above data and analysis demonstrates that Accu-Dent XD is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
