1) Intended Purpose (Intended Use)
Dandy’s ceramic crowns are made to restore worn, carious, broken, and aesthetically unpleasing dentition.
They:
● Restore single, permanent teeth (crowns) that are fractured, carious, discolored, or severely worn.
● Replace one or more missing permanent teeth by spanning the edentulous space and supporting them with dental implants.
● Restore the form, function, and esthetics of natural dentition.
● Provide occlusal stability and maintain proper interarch relationships.
If used to restore an implant:
● Connected to the implant fixture with an abutment
● Cases that are screw-retained are permanently fixed to the abutment in the lab
2) Device Description / Key Specifications
● Custom-made, patient-specific device manufactured per dental professional prescription and digital input data.
● Configuration: Dandy’s ceramic crowns are fabricated using digital technology, allowing for a precise fit and customization to the patient's specific needs. They are made of a highly durable and biocompatible material, ensuring long-term comfort and function.
● Material: Zirconia Monolithic (3Y & 4Y), Porcelain-Fused-To-Zirconia (PFZ), E.Max (full contour), E.Max (layeref)

Full Contour E.MAX Material Safety Data Sheet
3) Contraindications
Crowns should be used with caution in patients with uncontrolled periodontal disease, severe bone resorption, or oral lesions.
4) Warnings / Precautions / Potential Risks
⚠WARNING
The use of fixed restorations may have potential risks, including failure, misfit, breakage, and
recurrent caries.
**Warning – Sensitivity:
This device contains trace levels of cobalt and chromium oxides used as colorants in the ceramic material. The treating clinician should inform patients with sensitivity or allergy to cobalt or chromium of the presence of these compounds in the device before treatment. In rare cases, allergic reactions can occur in individuals who are sensitized.
*Warning – Irritation:
Localized irritation of surrounding oral tissues may occur in certain individuals due to individual variability in tissue response. Patients should be monitored post-placement, and the treating clinician should evaluate any signs of irritation, inflammation, or discomfort.
⚠CAUTION
NA
5) Cleaning and Care
Daily Cleaning
Oral Hygiene:
Brushing:
● Recommended brushing teeth twice a day, using a soft-bristled toothbrush and a fluoride
toothpaste.
Flossing:
● Recommend daily flossing to remove plaque and debris from between the teeth and around the fixed
restoration. A floss threader may be needed for hard-to-reach areas (for bridges).
Mouthwash:
● Alcohol-based mouthwashes tend to dry out the mouth, leading to increased plaque and tartar
buildup.
● Dietary and Habit Recommendations
● Avoid abrasive foods: Limit hard, crunchy, or sticky foods that can damage the restoration or cause it
to loosen.
● Avoid sugary foods: where new cavities can form or cause premature decay of the restorative margins.
● Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water will help keep your patient’s mouth clean and prevent gum
disease.
● Avoid bad habits: Refrain from using teeth to open packages or bite on hard objects.
6) Storage
Use dedicated dental crown/veneer boxes with soft foam or silicone inserts to prevent chipping, scratching, or movement, ensuring they are kept clean, dry, and protected during transport or while awaiting placement in a clinic or lab setting..
7) Expected Life / Service
Ceramic dental restorations (crowns, fillings, veneers) generally last 10 to 20 years, with modern materials like zirconia potentially exceeding this, but lifespans vary significantly based on care, location (back teeth wear faster), and type (implants are more permanent than crowns on top). Excellent oral hygiene (brushing, flossing) and avoiding hard foods or teeth grinding (bruxism) are key to maximizing longevity, though some chipping or wear is possible.
8) Incident / Complaint Reporting
Report suspected serious incidents associated with this device to:
● The Manufacturer and/or Dandy Australia entity using the contacts above, and
● Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA)
In Australia, serious incidents involving medical devices must be reported to the TGA in accordance with the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989.
INFO
For full contact details of the local Authorized Representative, refer to: Authorized Representatives — end of this document.
9) Disposal
● All-ceramic (porcelain) restorations are often disposed of as regular solid waste or taken to specific recycling centers that accept mixed ceramics/construction debris, as they're challenging to recycle like typical items.
● Household Trash: Place in your regular garbage bin, as they don't break down in standard recycling
● Always check with your local municipality or waste hauler for specific rules; however, ceramic items are generally not accepted in standard curbside recycling bins.
● Recycling Centers: Take them to a local recycling center that accepts mixed ceramics, concrete, or construction debris, as they can sometimes be repurposed.
● If the restoration has been in the patient's mouth or has come into contact with saliva, discard it as biomedical waste.

⚠PRECAUCIONES
NA
5) Limpieza y cuidado
Limpieza diaria
Higiene bucal:
Cepillado:
● Se recomienda cepillarse los dientes dos veces al día con un cepillo de cerdas suaves y un dentífrico fluorado.
Uso de hilo dental:
● Recomiende el uso diario de hilo dental para eliminar la placa y los restos entre los dientes y alrededor de la restauración fija. Puede ser necesario utilizar un enhebrador de hilo dental en zonas de difícil acceso (en el caso de los puentes).
Enjuague bucal:
● Los enjuagues bucales a base de alcohol tienden a secar la boca, lo que provoca un aumento de la placa y la acumulación de sarro.
● Recomendaciones alimentarias y de hábitos
● Evite los alimentos abrasivos: Limite los alimentos duros, crujientes o pegajosos que puedan dañar la restauración o hacer que se afloje.
● Evite los alimentos azucarados: ya que pueden favorecer la aparición de nuevas caries o el deterioro prematuro de los márgenes de la restauración.
● Manténgase hidratado/a: Beber abundante agua ayudará a mantener limpia la boca del paciente y a prevenir la enfermedad periodontal.
● Evite los malos hábitos: Absténgase de usar sus dientes para abrir paquetes o morder objetos duros.
6) Almacenamiento
Utilice estuches específicos para coronas o carillas dentales con insertos de espuma blanda o silicona para evitar astillamientos, arañazos o desplazamientos, asegurándose de que se mantengan limpios, secos y protegidos durante el transporte o mientras esperan su colocación en la clínica o el laboratorio.
7) Vida esperada / Servicio
Las restauraciones dentales cerámicas (coronas, obturaciones y carillas) suelen durar entre 10 y 20 años, y los materiales modernos, como el circonio, pueden incluso superar ese periodo. No obstante, su vida útil varía considerablemente en función de los cuidados, la localización (los dientes posteriores se desgastan más rápidamente) y el tipo de restauración (los implantes suelen ser más duraderos que las coronas colocadas sobre dientes). Una excelente higiene bucal (cepillado y uso de hilo dental) y evitar alimentos duros o el rechinamiento dental (bruxismo) son factores clave para maximizar su longevidad, aunque pueden producirse pequeños desconchados o desgaste.
8) Notificación de incidentes / Reclamaciones
Comunique cualquier sospecha de incidente grave relacionado con este producto a:
● El fabricante y/o la entidad de Dandy en la UE utilizando los datos de contacto indicados
anteriormente, así como conforme a los requisitos locales aplicables

4) Avertissements / Précautions / Risques potentiels
⚠AVERTISSEMENTS
L’utilisation de restaurations fixes peut présenter des risques potentiels, notamment une défaillance, un mauvais ajustement, une rupture et des caries récurrentes.
**Avertissement – Sensibilité :
Cet appareil contient des traces d’oxydes de cobalt et de chrome utilisés comme colorants dans le matériau céramique. Le médecin traitant doit informer les patients sensibles ou allergiques au cobalt ou au chrome de la présence de ces composés dans l’appareil avant le traitement. Dans de rares cas, des réactions allergiques peuvent survenir chez les personnes sensibilisées.
*Avertissement – Irritation :
Une irritation localisée des tissus buccaux environnants peut survenir chez certains individus en raison de la variabilité individuelle de la réponse tissulaire. Les patients doivent être surveillés après la mise en place et le médecin traitant doit évaluer tout signe d’irritation, d’inflammation ou
d’inconfort.
⚠PRECAUTIONS
NA
5) Nettoyage et entretien
Nettoyage quotidien
Hygiène buccodentaire :
Brossage :
● Il est recommandé de se brosser les dents deux fois par jour, à l’aide d’une brosse à dents à poils souples et d’un dentifrice fluoré.
Utilisation du fil dentaire :
● Recommander une utilisation quotidienne du fil dentaire pour éliminer la plaque dentaire et les résidus alimentaires entre les dents et autour de la restauration fixe. Un enfile-fil dentaire peut s’avérer nécessaire pour les zones difficiles d’accès (comme les bridges).
Bain de bouche :
● Les bains de bouche à base d’alcool ont tendance à sécher la bouche, ce qui entraîne une augmentation de la plaque dentaire et de l’accumulation de tartre.
● Recommandations alimentaires et habitudes
● Éviter les aliments abrasifs : Limiter la consommation d’aliments durs, croquants ou collants qui pourraient endommager la restauration ou la faire se desceller.
● Éviter les aliments sucrés : Où de nouvelles cavités peuvent former ou provoquer une
dégradation prématurée des marges de restauration.
● Rester hydraté : Boire beaucoup d’eau aidera à garder la bouche de votre patient propre et à prévenir les maladies des gencives.
● Éviter les mauvaises habitudes : Évitez d’utiliser vos dents pour ouvrir des emballages ou de mordre dans des objets durs.
6) Stockage
Utiliser des boîtes spécialement conçues pour les couronnes et les facettes dentaires, dotées d’un rembourrage en mousse souple ou en silicone, afin d’éviter tout éclat, rayure ou déplacement, et de garantir qu’elles restent propres, sèches et protégées pendant le transport ou en attendant leur mise en place en clinique ou en laboratoire.
7) Durée de vie / Service attendu
Les restaurations dentaires en céramique (couronnes, obturations, facettes) ont généralement une durée de vie de 10 à 20 ans, celle des matériaux modernes comme la zircone pouvant même dépasser cette durée ; toutefois, leur durée de vie varie considérablement en fonction des soins prodigués, de leur emplacement (les dents postérieures s’usent plus rapidement) et de leur type (les implants sont plus durables que les couronnes posées dessus). Une excellente hygiène bucco-dentaire (brossage, utilisation du fil dentaire) et le fait d’éviter les aliments durs ou de grincer des dents (bruxisme) sont essentiels pour optimiser la durée de vie des facettes, même si un léger ébréchage ou une certaine usure sont possibles.
8) Signalement des incidents / Réclamations

9) Élimination
● Les restaurations tout céramique (en porcelaine) sont souvent jetées avec les déchets solides ordinaires ou apportées dans des centres de recyclage spécialisés qui acceptent les déchets mixtes de céramique et de construction, car elles sont difficiles à recycler comme les objets courants.
● Ordures ménagères : Les placer dans votre poubelle habituelle, car elles ne se dégradent pas dans le recyclage standard
● Toujours vérifier auprès de votre municipalité ou de votre prestataire de collecte des déchets pour connaître les règles spécifiques ; toutefois, les objets en céramique ne sont généralement pas acceptés dans les bacs de recyclage standard en bordure de trottoir.
● Centres de recyclage : Les apporter à un centre de recyclage local qui accepte les déchets mixtes de céramique, de béton ou de chantier, car ils peuvent parfois être réutilisés.
● Si la restauration a été dans la bouche du patient ou a été en contact avec de la salive, jeter comme déchet biomédical.

4) Warnhinweise / Vorsichtsmaßnahmen / Potenzielle Risiken
⚠WARNHINWEISE
Die Verwendung von festsitzendem Zahnersatz birgt potenzielle Risiken, einschließlich Versagen, Passungenauigkeit, Bruch und Sekundärkaries.
● **Warnhinweis – Empfindlichkeit:
○ Dieses Produkt enthält Spuren von Kobalt- und Chromoxiden, die als Farbpigmente im Keramikmaterial verwendet werden. Der behandelnde Arzt muss Patienten mit einer Überempfindlichkeit oder Allergie gegen Kobalt oder Chrom vor der Behandlung über das Vorhandensein dieser Verbindungen im Produkt informieren. In seltenen Fällen können bei sensibilisierten Personen allergische Reaktionen auftreten.
● *Warnhinweis – Reizung:
○ Aufgrund der individuellen Variabilität der Gewebereaktion kann es bei bestimmten Personen zu lokalen Irritationen des umgebenden oralen Gewebes kommen. Die Patienten sollten nach dem Einsetzen überwacht werden, und der behandelnde Arzt sollte jegliche Anzeichen von Reizung, Entzündung oder Missempfinden evaluieren.
⚠VORSICHTSMASSNAHMEN
NA
5) Reinigung und Pflege
Tägliche Reinigung
● Mundhygiene:
○ Zähneputzen:
■ Empfohlen wird zweimal tägliches Zähneputzen mit einer weichen Zahnbürste und einer
fluoridhaltigen Zahnpasta.
○ Zahnseide:
■ Es wird eine tägliche Anwendung von Zahnseide empfohlen, um Plaque und Speisereste aus de
Zahnzwischenräumen sowie im Bereich des festsitzenden Zahnersatzes zu entfernen. Für
schwer zugängliche Bereiche (bei Brücken) kann eine Einfädelhilfe für Zahnseide erforderlich
sein.
○ Mundspülung:
■ Alkoholhaltige Mundspülungen neigen dazu, den Mund auszutrocknen, was zu einer verstärkten
Bildung von Plaque und Zahnstein führt. Empfehlungen zu Ernährung und Gewohnheiten
● Vermeidung abrasiver Lebensmittel: Vermeiden Sie nach Möglichkeit harte, knusprige oder klebrige
Speisen. Diese können die Restauration beschädigen oder dazu führen, dass sie sich lockert.
● Vermeidung zuckerhaltiger Lebensmittel: Diese begünstigen die Entstehung von neuer Karies und
können zu einem vorzeitigen Abbau der Kronen- und Brückenränder führen.
● Hydriert bleiben: Das Trinken von reichlich Wasser trägt dazu bei, die Mundhöhle des Patienten sauber
zu halten und Parodontalerkrankungen vorzubeugen.
● Vermeidung schlechter Gewohnheiten: Verzichten Sie darauf, die Zähne zum Öffnen
von Verpackungen oder zum Beißen auf harte Gegenstände zu verwenden.
6) Lagerung
Verwenden Sie spezielle Transportboxen für Kronen und Veneers mit weichen Schaumstoff- oder Silikoneinsätzen, um zu verhindern, dass sie abplatzen, zerkratzen oder verrutschen, und stellen Sie sicher, dass sie während des Transports oder während der Wartezeit bis zum Einsetzen in der Klinik oder im Labor sauber, trocken und geschützt gelagert werden.
7) Erwartete Lebensdauer / Nutzungsdauer
Keramischer Zahnersatz (Kronen, Füllungen, Veneers) hält in der Regel 10 bis 20 Jahre, wobei moderne Materialien wie Zirkondioxid diese Spanne noch übertreffen können; die Lebensdauer variiert jedoch erheblich je nach Pflege, Lokalisation (Backenzähne nutzen sich schneller ab) und Versorgungsart (Implantate sind dauerhafter als Kronen auf natürlichen Zähnen). Eine hervorragende Mundhygiene (Zähneputzen, Zahnseide) sowie das Vermeiden von harten Lebensmitteln oder Zähneknirschen (Bruxismus) sind der Schlüssel zur Maximierung der Langlebigkeit, wenngleich leichte Abplatzungen oder Verschleiß möglich sind.

9) Entsorgung
● Vollkeramischer Zahnersatz (Keramikrestaurationen) wird in der Regel als normaler Restmüll entsorgt
oder zu speziellen Recyclinghöfen gebracht, die Mischkeramik oder mineralische Abfälle annehmen, da
eine Wiederverwertung wie bei herkömmlichen Wertstoffen schwierig ist.
○ Haushaltsmüll: Entsorgen Sie diese in Ihrer normalen Restmülltonne, da sie im Standard-
Recyclingkreislauf nicht verwertet werden können.
● Informieren Sie sich stets bei Ihrer zuständigen Gemeinde oder Ihrem Entsorgungsunternehmen über
die spezifischen Vorschriften; keramische Gegenstände werden jedoch im Allgemeinen nicht über die
normale Wertstofftonne vor Ort entsorgt.
● Recyclingzentren: Bringen Sie diese zu einem örtlichen Recyclinghof, der Mischkeramik oder
mineralische Abfälle annimmt, da sie unter Umständen wiederverwendet werden können.
● Wenn sich die Restauration im Mund des Patienten befand oder mit Speichel in Kontakt gekommen ist,
entsorgen Sie diese als infektiösen Abfall (medizinischen Sonderabfall).

4) Avvertenze / Precauzioni / Rischi potenziali
⚠AVVERTENZE
L'uso di restauri fissi può comportare rischi potenziali, tra cui lesioni, malformazioni, rotture e carie ricorrenti.
● **Avvertenza – Sensibilità:
○ Questo dispositivo contiene tracce di ossidi di cobalto e cromo utilizzati come coloranti nel
materiale ceramico. Prima del trattamento, il medico curante deve informare i pazienti con
sensibilità o allergia al cobalto o al cromo della presenza di questi composti nel dispositivo. In rari
casi, si possono verificare reazioni allergiche in individui sensibilizzati.
● *Avvertenza – Irritazione:
○ In alcuni individui può verificarsi irritazione localizzata dei tessuti orali circostanti a causa della
variabilità individuale della risposta tissutale. I pazienti devono essere monitorati dopo il
posizionamento e il medico curante deve valutare eventuali segni di irritazione, infiammazione o
fastidio.
⚠PRECAUZIONI
NA
5) Pulizia e cura
Pulizia quotidiana
● Igiene orale:
○ Spazzolamento:
■ Si raccomanda di lavarsi i denti due volte al giorno, utilizzando uno spazzolino da denti a setole
morbide e un dentifricio al fluoro.
○ Filo interdentale:
■ Si consiglia di utilizzare ogni giorno il filo interdentale per rimuovere la placca e i detriti tra i denti e intorno al restauro fisso. Può essere necessario una punta passafilo per le aree difficili da raggiungere (per ponti).
○ Collutorio:
■ I collutori contenenti alcol tendono ad asciugare la bocca, con conseguente aumento della formazione di placca e tartaro.
Consigli sull'alimentazione e sulle abitudini
● Evitare alimenti abrasivi: limitare il consumo di cibi duri, croccanti o appiccicosi che possono danneggiare il restauro o causarne l'allentamento.
● Evitare i cibi zuccherati: laddove possono formarsi nuove cavità o causano un decadimento prematuro dei margini di restauro.
● Rimanere idratati: bere molta acqua aiuterà a mantenere pulita la bocca del paziente e prevenire le malattie gengivali.
● Evitare cattive abitudini: evitare di usare i denti per aprire pacchetti o mordere oggetti duri.
6) Conservazione
Utilizzare apposite scatole per corone/faccette dentali con inserti in schiuma morbida o silicone per evitare scheggiature, graffi o movimenti, assicurandosi che siano mantenuti puliti, asciutti e protetti durante il trasporto o in attesa di essere applicati in una clinica o in un laboratorio.
7) Durata prevista / Servizio
I restauri dentali in ceramica (corone, otturazioni, faccette) durano generalmente da 10 a 20 anni, con materiali moderni come la zirconia che potrebbero superare questo limite, ma la durata varia in modo significativo in base alla cura, alla posizione (usura più rapida dei denti posteriori) e al tipo (gli impianti permangono di più rispetto alle corone nell'arcata superiore). Un'ottima igiene orale (spazzolatura, uso del filo interdentale) ed evitare di consumare cibi duri o digrignare i denti (bruxismo) sono fondamentali per massimizzare la longevità, anche se è possibile qualche scheggiatura o usura.
8) Segnalazione di incidenti / Reclami
Segnalare gli incidenti gravi sospetti associati a questo dispositivo a:
● Produttore e/o entità UE Dandy utilizzando i contatti sopra indicati e i corrispondenti requisiti locali

9) Smaltimento
● I restauri interamente in ceramica (porcellana) vengono spesso smaltiti come rifiuti solidi regolari o
portati in centri di riciclaggio specifici che accettano detriti misti di ceramica/costruzione, in quanto
sono difficili da riciclare come oggetti tipici.
○ Rifiuti domestici: collocare nel bidone della spazzatura indifferenziata, perché non si
decompongono nel riciclaggio standard.
● Verificare sempre le norme specifiche con il proprio comune o con la ditta di trasporto rifiuti; tuttavia,
gli oggetti in ceramica di solito non sono accettati nei contenitori di riciclaggio standard.
● Centri di riciclaggio: portarli in un centro di riciclaggio locale che accetta residui misti di ceramica,
cemento o costruzione, in quanto a volte possono essere riqualificati.
● Se il restauro è stato nella bocca del paziente o è entrato a contatto con la saliva, smaltirlo come rifiuto
biomedico.

⚠CAUTION
NA
5) Cleaning and Care
Daily Cleaning
Oral Hygiene:
Brushing:
● Recommended brushing teeth twice a day, using a soft-bristled toothbrush and a fluoride
toothpaste.
Flossing:
● Recommend daily flossing to remove plaque and debris from between the teeth and around the fixed
restoration. A floss threader may be needed for hard-to-reach areas (for bridges).
Mouthwash:
● Alcohol-based mouthwashes tend to dry out the mouth, leading to increased plaque and tartar
buildup.
● Dietary and Habit Recommendations
● Avoid abrasive foods: Limit hard, crunchy, or sticky foods that can damage the restoration or cause it
to loosen.
● Avoid sugary foods: where new cavities can form or cause premature decay of the restorative margins.
● Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water will help keep your patient’s mouth clean and prevent gum
disease.
● Avoid bad habits: Refrain from using teeth to open packages or bite on hard objects.
6) Storage
Use dedicated dental crown/veneer boxes with soft foam or silicone inserts to prevent chipping, scratching, or movement, ensuring they are kept clean, dry, and protected during transport or while awaiting placement in a clinic or lab setting.
7) Expected Life / Service
Ceramic dental restorations (crowns, fillings, veneers) generally last 10 to 20 years, with modern materials like zirconia potentially exceeding this, but lifespans vary significantly based on care, location (back teeth wear faster), and type (implants are more permanent than crowns on top). Excellent oral hygiene (brushing, flossing) and avoiding hard foods or teeth grinding (bruxism) are key to maximizing longevity, though some chipping or wear is possible.
8) Incident / Complaint Reporting
Report suspected serious incidents associated with this device to:
● The Manufacturer and/or UK Responsible Person (UKRP) using the contacts above, and
● The UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) — www.gov.uk/mhra
In accordance with The Medical Devices Regulations 2002 (as amended).
INFO
For full contact details of the local Authorized Representative, refer to: Authorized Representatives — end of this document.
9) Disposal
● All-ceramic (porcelain) restorations are often disposed of as regular solid waste or taken to specific recycling centers that accept mixed ceramics/construction debris, as they're challenging to recycle like typical items.
● Household Trash: Place in your regular garbage bin, as they don't break down in standard recycling
● Always check with your local municipality or waste hauler for specific rules; however, ceramic items are generally not accepted in standard curbside recycling bins.
● Recycling Centers: Take them to a local recycling center that accepts mixed ceramics, concrete, or construction debris, as they can sometimes be repurposed.
● If the restoration has been in the patient's mouth or has come into contact with saliva, discard it as biomedical waste.
