Overview

AI-generated summary, 1 Oct 2026

Written by a language model from registry data. Not verified by deviCERTS or the manufacturer. The registry data above is the record.

The Microhybrid Composite is a dental restorative material classified under Tooth Shade Resin Material (21 CFR 872.3690). It is designed as a direct esthetic restoration for use in both anterior and posterior regions of the mouth, providing durable and visually pleasing repairs for dental cavities and defects. This composite is suitable for Class I through Class V restorations, including diastema closure, ensuring versatility in clinical applications.

Supplied as a reusable dental material, the Microhybrid Composite is intended for single-patient use per application and requires proper handling to maintain sterility. It is regulated under 21 CFR 872.3690 and holds an FDA 510(k) clearance (K120237) as substantially equivalent to a predicate device. Storage conditions and expiration dates must adhere to manufacturer guidelines to ensure performance integrity, with no specific MRI safety considerations noted in the regulatory submission.

Questions

AI-generated answers, 1 Oct 2026

Written by a language model from registry data. Not verified by deviCERTS or the manufacturer. The registry data above is the record.

  • What types of dental restorations is the BPA-Free Microhybrid Composite designed for?

    This composite is specifically formulated for direct esthetic restorations in both anterior (front) and posterior (back) teeth. It is approved for Class I through Class V restorations, including filling cavities, repairing defects, and closing diastema (gaps between teeth). Its microhybrid formulation balances strength and aesthetics, making it versatile for a wide range of clinical scenarios where a durable, visually pleasing repair is needed.

  • How is the BPA-Free Microhybrid Composite supplied, and what are its sterility requirements?

    The composite is supplied as a reusable dental material intended for single-patient use per application. To maintain sterility, it must be handled according to manufacturer guidelines, which likely include sterile packaging and proper storage conditions. Since it is not pre-sterilized for multi-patient use, clinicians must ensure it remains uncontaminated before application to avoid cross-infection risks.

  • Is the BPA-Free Microhybrid Composite reusable or single-use, and how should it be stored?

    The material is single-use per patient application, though the packaging itself may be reusable for multiple sterile applications if handled correctly. Storage must follow the manufacturer’s instructions to preserve performance integrity, including adherence to expiration dates. Improper storage (e.g., exposure to moisture, extreme temperatures, or light) could compromise its mechanical properties or curing characteristics, reducing clinical effectiveness.

  • Does the BPA-Free Microhybrid Composite have any special considerations for MRI safety?

    The regulatory submission for this device does not include any MRI safety considerations, meaning it is not labeled as MRI-safe or MRI-conditional. Clinicians should confirm with the manufacturer if there are specific guidelines for patients requiring MRI scans post-restoration, though the composite itself does not appear to contain metallic or ferromagnetic components that would pose risks during imaging.

  • What regulatory pathway does the BPA-Free Microhybrid Composite follow, and what does FDA clearance mean for this product?

    The composite holds an FDA 510(k) clearance (K120237), classified under *Tooth Shade Resin Material* (21 CFR 872.3690). The clearance is based on a determination of substantial equivalence to a predicate device, meaning the FDA found it as safe and effective as an existing, legally marketed alternative. This does not imply it is the only option but confirms it meets regulatory standards for dental restorative materials. Always verify the latest labeling or manufacturer updates for compliance.
