Introduction
Dental products are marketed for long term, short term and transient use in the mouth. A large number of items
have been developed to assist in the treatment and prevention of oral diseases and the handling of dental
materials. In contrast to pharmaceuticals (medicinal products), many dental materials are intended to perform as
implanted devices in the oral cavity with a minimum of degradation and release of substances, i.e. their main action
is to replace lost and defective teeth and oral tissue. Some materials contain elements that may initiate toxic or
allergic responses. Other materials have additions of medicinal substances.
Many dental materials, instruments, equipment and disposables are covered by the Council Directive 93/42 EEC of
14 June 1993 concerning medical devices. The Directive also provides rules for the classification of medical
devices based on risk and intended use. It is the manufacturer’s responsibility to classify the product according to
the rules of the Directive.
The classification should be acceptable to Notified Bodies (NB) and Competent Authorities (CA). The Directive
describes procedures for resolving any disputes over classification between manufacturers, Notified Bodies and
Competent Authorities.
The European Commission has developed a document ”Guidelines for the Classification of Medical Devices”. This
CEN Technical Report is intended to complement that guidance. In addition, NB-MED, European Co-ordination of
Notified Bodies, have developed a series of consensus statements which also have been taken into consideration.
It will, therefore, be of value to manufacturers in making decisions with regard to the likely classification of particular
devices.

1 Scope
This CEN Technical Report provides guidance on the application of the classification rules in Council Directive
93/42 EEC of 14 June 1993, amended by Directive 2007/47/EC, concerning medical devices as they pertain to
dental devices and accessories.
2 Classification of dental devices and accessories
The list of dental devices and accessories given in Tables 1 to 5 should not necessarily be considered exhaustive.
The classification is based on the most commonly accepted form and intended use of the devices and accessories
listed. If a manufacturer proposes another intended use, the classification of the product may need to be
reconsidered.
Materials and other prefabricated devices that will be part of a custom made device are included in this guidance
document. Custom made devices are not. Some materials can be used both for long term and short term custom
made devices. The intended purpose claimed by the manufacturer will then be decisive for the classification. In this
document the implementing rule 2.5 of the Directive has been used for the proposed classification, i.e. ”the strictest
rules.shall apply”.
It is recommended that this list be considered in conjunction with the Directive 93/42 EEC [1] and the ”Guidelines to
the classifica
