Questions
What is the Clearfil CR Inlay used for in clinical practice?
The Clearfil CR Inlay is designed for indirect dental restorations, specifically to fill cavities in posterior teeth (molars and premolars). It is a composite resin material that is cured with light to create a durable, tooth-colored filling that closely resembles natural dentition, improving both function and aesthetics.
How is the Clearfil CR Inlay supplied, and is it intended for single-use?
The Clearfil CR Inlay is supplied as a reusable kit containing composite resin components meant for dental technicians to fabricate inlays in a laboratory environment. It is not a single-use item, so sterilization instructions do not apply. However, it must be handled under aseptic conditions to maintain a controlled, sterile environment during use.
Can this device be reused, and if so, what precautions should be taken?
Yes, the Clearfil CR Inlay kit is reusable, as it is intended for laboratory fabrication of multiple inlays. Since it is not a single-use item, sterilization is not required, but it must be handled in a clean, controlled environment to prevent contamination. Dental professionals should follow standard aseptic techniques to ensure the components remain suitable for use.
What regulatory pathway was followed for FDA clearance of the Clearfil CR Inlay?
The Clearfil CR Inlay received FDA 510(k) clearance under the Traditional pathway in 1989, with the submission reviewed by the Dental Devices (DE) Advisory Committee. The device was determined to be substantially equivalent to a legally marketed predicate, as indicated by the decision code SESE (Substantially Equivalent to a Special Control Device).
