DentaTOOTH resins are used with digital light processing (DLP) based 3D printers to produce denture temporary dental restorations. DentaTOOTH resin has been validated for use with the Asiga Max Series and Pro Series printers for the manufacture of temporary dental restorations at 385nm wavelengths.
DentaTOOTH is a light-cure methacrylate-based resin with photoinitiator, UV absorber, dispersant and pigments. DentaTOOTH is a Type
{5}
2, Class 2 resin per ISO 10477:2020 and Type 1, Class 2, Group 2 resin per ISO 4049:2019.
DentaTOOTH has a shelf life of 36 months. The device may be stored in Asiga Max and Pro Series printers for up to 4 weeks with hood closed.
DentaTOOTH is compliant to ISO 10477:2020 and ISO 4049:2019 for polymer based crown and veneering materials, and polymer based restorative materials, respectively.
## Intended Use/Indications for Use
21 CFR 807.92(a)(5)
Asiga DentaTOOTH is intended exclusively for professional dental work.
Asiga DentaTOOTH is a 3D print resin indicated for the manufacturing of 3D printed temporary crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays and veneers.
## Indications for Use Comparison
21 CFR 807.92(a)(5)
The subject device and primary predicate are both indicated for the manufacturing of temporary dental restorations such as crowns and bridges. Crowns are dental restorations that fully encapsulate a tooth. Bridges are used to fill tooth gap(s) by mounting the restoration onto existing teeth. Compared to the predicate, the subject device has additional indications for inlays, onlays and veneers which are also temporary dental restorations. Inlays are those that fill an empty space between the cusps of a tooth while onlays are cover one or more cusps of a tooth. Onlays may also be referred to as partial crowns which is an indication of the predicate device. Veneers are shells that fit over the front surfaces of teeth.
Product code EBG under regulation 21 CFR 872.3770 is defined as:
‘A temporary crown and bridge resin is a device composed of a material, such as polymethylmethacrylate, intended to make a temporary prosthesis such as a crown or bridge, for use until a permanent restoration is fabricated.’
The differences do not constitute a new intended use as inlays, onlays and veneers are still considered a type of temporary prosthesis used for temporary restorations.
As the primary predicate is indicated only for temporary crowns and bridges, a secondary predicate has been referenced to include indications for temporary inlays, onlays, and veneers. The secondary predicate device is P pro Crown & Bridge (K200039), which is a light curable resin indicated for the fabrication of veneers, inlays and onlays.
The subject device has been tested in accordance with ISO 10477:2020 Dentistry — Polymer-based crown and veneering materials and ISO 4049 Dentistry — Polymer-based restorative materials.
There are no differences between the subject and predicate devices with respect to classification, regulation number, product code, indications for use and prescription status.
## Technological Comparison
21 CFR 807.92(a)(6)
The subject and predicate devices are resin materials intended for 3D printing of temporary device restorations. There are no differences between the subject and predicate devices with respect to classification, regulation number, product code, prescription status, resin type, product state, performance testing, and biocompatibility profile.
The subject and predicate devices differ in terms of material formulation. All devices rely on the same type of equipment comprising a scanner, design software, DLP-based 3D printer and post-curing unit as part of the temporary restoration manufacturing process, although the specific equipment itself differs. All resins have a different shelf life.
The subject device, DentaTOOTH, is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed primary predicate device, E-Temp (K211101) and secondary predicate device, P pro Crown & Bridge (K200039). The devices have similar indications for use and technological differences do not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness. Therefore, DentaTOOTH is substantially equivalent to the predicates.
## Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Tests Summary & Conclusions
21 CFR 807.92(b)
Nonclinical tests per performed in accordance with the below standards:
- ISO 10477:2020 Dentistry — Polymer-based crown and veneering materials (4-302)
- ISO 4049:2019 Dentistry — Polymer-based restorative materials (4-298)
{6}
Safety and performance of DentaTOOTH has been evaluated in accordance with ISO 10477:2020 Dentistry — Polymer-based crown and veneering materials:
- Depth of cure
- Surface finish
- Flexural strength
- Water sorption
- Solubility
- Shade consistency
- Color stability
Safety and performance of DentaTOOTH has also been evaluated in accordance with ISO 4049:2019 Dentistry — Polymer-based restorative materials
- Flexural strength
- Water sorption and solubility
- Shade of restorative materials
- Color stability after irradiation and water sorption
- Shade of restorative materials
All tests conducted demonstrated compliance with the above referenced standards. DentaTOOTH was subjected to validation of packaging (according to ASTM D4169-22 / 14-576), shelf life, and biocompatibility according to ISO 10993-1:2018 / 2-258 and its relevant parts).
Not Applicable.
All tests demonstrated acceptable results and did not raise any new questions of safety or efficacy for DentaTOOTH. Therefore performance characteristics are considered equivalent to the primary predicate device, E-Temp (K211101) and secondary predicate device, P pro Crown & Bridge (K200039).

Two short videos show you everything — or skip straight to the written tutorial if you'd rather read. You can reopen this any time from the Tutorial button in the top bar.
Part 1 — Search, results, and everyday workflows 16 min
Part 2 — Embeddings: the galaxy map 3 min
1. Search: exact and fuzzy
Type a phrase like "coronary artery calcification" into the search box. You get two kinds of results. Exact results match the literal phrase — prefix searches work ("coronary artery calcificati") but suffix searches do not. Fuzzy results match on the meaning and intent of your phrase rather than the exact words, and are sorted by relevance score. Hover over the Exact or Fuzzy badge on any row to see exactly why it matched.
Use the checkboxes above the results to narrow: SaMD keeps only software-only devices, AI / ML keeps only devices with AI.
Exact vs. fuzzy search: what's the difference?
Exact matches on the literal phrase (prefix search works, suffix does not). Fuzzy matches on the meaning and intent of the phrase rather than the exact words. Hover over the badge on any row to see why it matched.
You search "coronary artery calcification" and want only software devices with AI. What two filters do you apply?
Narrow by SaMD (software-only devices), then narrow by AI/ML (devices with AI).
2. The results table
Scroll right in the results table. The intended use is extracted for you — no need to open the PDF. The device story gives a high-level snapshot of what the device does and how it's used. The AI Performance sub-table shows each output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, and development/test dataset descriptions — the same format Innolitics uses for regulatory strategy outputs, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. It is AI-generated but has been very reliable in practice.
Where do you find a device's intended use without opening the PDF?
Scroll right in the search results table. The intended use column is extracted for you; no need to dig into the 510(k) summary PDF.
What does the AI Performance sub-table show, and why is it useful?
Output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, development dataset description, and test dataset description. It's the same format we use for regulatory strategy output and Fast 510(k) input, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. AI-generated but reliable in practice.
3. Judging fuzzy relevance
Fuzzy results trail off in relevance as you scroll. Use three signals to decide how far down to go: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether your target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, you're past the relevant zone. A top hit with a low score (~0.4) and a stretched explanation is a hint the closest predicates are far away — the project may be headed for De Novo. Note the fuzzy search is a pattern match: it doesn't handle negation ("not") well, and hardware devices can appear — filter by SaMD/AI ML to cut them.
How do you judge how far down fuzzy search results to go?
Use the relevancy signals: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether the target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, results are trailing off in relevancy.
4. Device detail page: chat and citations
Click a device name to open its detail page: device facts on the left, a chat window on the right. Ask something like "Describe the training data". The answer carries little citation bubbles — click one to jump to the highlighted passage in the source PDF, so you can verify every AI answer against the document. There's also a Download PDF button for sharing.
How do you verify an AI chat answer on the device detail page?
Click the citation bubbles to jump to the relevant highlight in the source document.
Reading rule for every project: how many summaries do you read in full?
At least the three most relevant 510(k) or De Novo summaries, in full. After that, use targeted chat questions to confirm your memory quickly. The tool supports this professional habit — it doesn't replace it.
5. Side-by-side comparison
Select multiple rows in the results table (aim for under ~10), then open the PDF Viewer tab. Ask one question — it goes to all selected devices in parallel, each with citations. This is the fastest way to compare and contrast devices: training data, PCCP scope, how they handled adding new scanners, and so on.
What does the side-by-side PDF viewer mode do?
Select multiple devices, open the PDF viewer tab, and ask one question (e.g., "Describe the training data"). It queries all selected devices simultaneously with citations, so you can compare and contrast quickly.
6. Collections
With rows selected, go to the Collections tab and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). Reload that selection any time — before a client call, pull up the collection and ask questions across all of its devices at once.
How do you save a set of selected devices for later use?
Select the rows, go to the Collections tab, and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). You can reload the selection anytime and carry it into the PDF viewer and other tabs that support selections.
7. Product codes and the regulations tree
Click a product code in the results to jump to it in the regulations tree — identification text, sibling product codes, and devices you can open in a PDF viewer on the right. Click a regulation number to see its identification, special controls, and related product codes. You can also search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree. Always read the special controls if any exist for your device — it broadens your search and sharpens pre-kickoff research.
What can you do from the regulations tree view?
Browse product codes and regulation numbers, read the identification text and special controls, browse sibling product codes, open device PDFs on the right, and search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree.
8. Chart view
Click Show Chart and segment by regulation number (or product code) to see which regulations dominate your result set. Clicking a regulation takes you into the regulations tree. Great for spotting that most matches are, say, hardware laparoscopic devices — a cue to go back and filter.
How do you see which regulations dominate a search result set?
Click "Show Chart" and segment by Regulation Number. Clicking a regulation takes you to the regulations tree.
9. The predicate graph
Open the Predicates tab for a family-tree view of predicate relationships. Click a node to trace its parents and children; selections from search carry over pre-selected. Commonly predicated devices are worth reading — a lot of people predicated them for a reason. The visual lineage is also handy on client calls, e.g. to show how a predicate family evolved and justify why your predicate still holds.
In the predicate graph, why are commonly predicated devices worth reading?
A lot of people predicated them for a reason. Clicking a node traces parents and children, and selections from search carry over pre-selected.
10. Embeddings: the galaxy map
The Embeddings tab plots every matching document in a 2-D "galaxy map" where semantically similar devices cluster together. Hover or click clusters to explore, and let AI label the clusters for you. Embeddings beat product codes for grouping: two devices can carry different product codes (LLZ vs. QIH) yet do the same thing — the embedding captures the meaning of the intended use and device story. This is also exactly how retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) works under the hood, and it makes a great visual on client calls.
