The Tooth Shade Resin Material is a dental restorative material formulated to closely match the color and translucency of natural tooth structure, used for direct or indirect restorations where esthetics are a primary requirement. It is classified as FDA Class 2, indicating moderate risk, and requires 510(k) clearance before marketing. The product code is EBF and the applicable regulation is 21 CFR 872.3690, under the Dental medical specialty. This device is eligible for third-party 510(k) review.

A predicate device is a legally marketed device that a new 510(k) applicant uses to demonstrate substantial equivalence. The FDA's 510(k) pathway requires manufacturers to show that their device has the same intended use and similar technological characteristics as one or more predicate devices already cleared for commercial distribution.
Finding the right predicate is a critical step in 510(k) strategy. Manufacturers typically search for cleared devices with the same FDA product code, which groups devices by their intended use and regulatory classification. This tool helps you identify potential predicates by browsing all clearances within a product code.
Note that predicate devices must be legally marketed — they cannot be devices that were cleared but never commercialized, or devices subject to a mandatory recall. The determination of substantial equivalence considers intended use, technological characteristics, and performance data.
