## Indications for Use

3M™ M.G. Material is designed for making impressions that record the occlusal relationship of the upper and lower dental arches. It is also intended to be used as a matrix when fabricating custom temporary crowns and bridges.

## Device Story

3M M.G. Material is a two-part vinyl polysiloxane paste; addition-cure reaction. Base and catalyst pastes extruded from dual-barrel cartridges through mixing tip onto occlusal surfaces. Material cures into rigid impression. Used by dental professionals to record occlusal relationships or as matrix for temporary crown/bridge fabrication. Benefits include fast, accurate, rigid records with minimal resistance to closure and slump resistance.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Comparative tests performed for strain in compression, detail reproduction, mixed consistency, and linear dimensional change.

## Technological Characteristics

Two-part vinyl polysiloxane paste; addition-cure chemistry. Dual-barrel cartridge delivery system with mixing tip. Rigid impression material.

## 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).

## Predicate Devices

- 3M Imprint II Vinyl Impression Material System
- 3M Fast Set Bite Registration Material
- Heraeus Kulzer Memoreg C.D. Bite Registration Material

3MTM M.G. Material is designed to make fast, accurate, and rigid interocclusal records. The material has a consistency which resists slumping and offers minimal resistance to closure to ensure proper occlusion. 3M™ M.G. Material may also be used as a matrix material when fabricating custom temporary crowns and bridges. It is a two-part vinyl polysiloxane paste with an addition-cure reaction. The base and catalyst pastes are extruded from dual-barrel cartridges through a mixing tip onto the occlusal surfaces of the teeth. The material quickly cures into a rigid impression.

3MTM M.G. Material is designed for making impressions that record the occlusal relationship of the upper and lower dental arches. It is also intended to be used as a matrix when fabricating temporary crowns and bridges. The predicate devices do not specifically say they are intended for use as matrices. However, the labeling for temporary crown and bridge materials has indirectly indicated the predicate devices for this use for many years. This use does not present any new issues of safety or efficacy.

3MTM M.G. Material and the predicate devices have similar technological characteristics as indicated by their vinyl polysiloxane addition-cure chemistry. This is further validated by the comparative results of the bench tests conducted, including strain in compression, detail reproduction, mixed consistency, and linear dimensional change.

Based on the safety analysis and the bench tests, 3MTM M.G. Material is safe, effective, and performs as well or better than the predicate devices.
