stains and glaze materials used for the
characterization of metal ceramic
restorations.

In addition:
IPS 99 Ceram is a conventional multi-
layer veneering ceramic for the
fabrication of metal-ceramic restorations
using the most popular dental alloys in
the CTE range of 13.8-15.0 x10-6/K (25-
500°C).

IPS 99 One is a one-layer veneering
ceramic for the fabrication of metal-
ceramic restorations using the most
popular dental alloys in the CTE range of
13.8-15.0 x10-6/K (25-500°C).

IPS 99 is intended to be used for inlays,
onlays, veneers and anterior/posterior
PFM crowns.

As a reference device, the Eris system
includes shades, stains and glaze
materials (currently sold under the brand
name IPS Empress Universal) which are
used for the characterization of all-
ceramic restorations.

In addition, Eris layering materials are
porcelain powders used in the pressable
ceramic system Empress 2, which is
used for metal free single unit, and
multiple unit bonded crown and bridge
restorations. | Staining and/or characterization and glazing
of ceramic materials from Ivoclar Vivadent
and Wieland Dental:
- Veneering ceramics
- Press ceramics
- Milling ceramics
- Zirconium oxide (framework and full-
contour) | | Summary
Indications | IPS Ivocolor is a universal stains and glaze assortment. Its indication for
individualized staining, characterization and glaze of ceramic materials is the same as
IPS 99 shades, stains and glaze. IPS Ivocolor Essence are shade materials.

The difference is that IPS Ivocolor can be used with both metal-ceramic and full-
ceramic materials whereas the primary predicate - IPS 99 shades, stains and glaze -
was supplied as part of the IPS 99 system for metal-ceramic and the reference device
- Eris Layering Materials - shade, stains and glaze were supplied as part of the Eris
system for full-ceramics | | | Working principle | IPS 99 shades and stains are used in very
small amounts and thin layers to
customize the esthetics of a restoration.
The glaze is used for the glaze firing to
achieve a shiny surface.
Compatible with IPS 99, IPS InLine, IPS
InLine PoM. | The Essence and Stains are used in very
small amounts and thin layers to
customize the aesthetic of a restoration.
The Glaze is used for the glaze firing to
achieve a shiny surface.

Zenostar (sintered) | | Summary Working
Principle | The working principle of the new product is the same as the primary predicate
device and the reference device. The significant difference is that IPS
Ivocolor will be marketed for use with the whole range of ceramic materials
from Ivoclar Vivadent AG and the zirconium oxide ceramic material from
Wieland Dental+Technik GmbH.
This is a benefit to the dental technician because he can use a universal
product.
In the past each brand of ceramic was supplied in a system and had its own
shades, stains and glaze. | | | | Technically it was not difficult to develop shade, stains and glaze which are
compatible with a range of ceramics because the material is applied in very
small quantities and very thin layers. The potential tension which can be
developed between the shade, stains and glaze and the ceramic materials is
minimal and does not cause a compatibility problem. It was only necessary to
ensure that the CTE of the shade, stains and glaze is not above that of the
ceramic material and this has been achieved. | | | Summary
Composition | The key ingredients, the silica-based dental glass ceramic are the same as
the primary predicate device. IPS Ivocolor includes a new pigment. The
biocompatibility of the new formulation was fully assessed and is equivalent to
IPS 99 | | | Physical Properties | The product has been tested to ISO 6872 and meets the requirements. | The product has been tested to ISO 6872 and meets the requirements.
IPS Ivocolor is the same Type and Class material as the primary predicate.

The device has been tested for the following physical properties according to ISO 6872:
Uniformity Cleanliness Radioactivity of ceramic Color Coding Flexural Strength Coefficient of Linear Thermal Expansion Glass Transition Temperature Chemical Solubility | | Summary Physical properties | The CTE and Glass transition temperature for IPS Ivocolor are slightly lower than those of the primary predicate. This is to ensure that the new materials are compatible with the chosen range of ceramics. | | {5}------------------------------------------------ # 510(K) SUMMARY Image /page/5/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for Ivoclar Vivadent, a dental company.
