Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 106, Dentistry.
This third edition of ISO 7405 cancels and replaces ISO 7405:2008 and ISO/TS 22911:2016 which have
been technically revised. It also incorporates the Amendment ISO 7405:2008/Amd.1:2013.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— as crucial first step in the biological evaluation a material characterization is required before
biological tests are conducted (see 5.4.2)
— modifications of contents of ‘pulp and dentine usage test’ and ‘endodontic test’
— deletion of Annex C (Acute toxicity testing);
— addition of ISO/TS 22911 as new Annex C.
Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A

Introduction
This document describes the evaluation of the biocompatibility of medical devices used in dentistry. It is
to be used in conjunction with the ISO 10993 series of standards. This document contains special tests,
for which ample experience exists in dentistry and which acknowledge the special needs of dentistry.
Only test methods for which the members of the committee considered there was sufficient published
data have been included. In recommending test methods, the need to minimize the number and exposure
of test animals was given a high priority. It is essential that the decision to undertake tests involving
animals be reached only after a full and careful review of the evidence indicating that a similar outcome
cannot be achieved by other types of test. In order to keep the number of animals required for tests
to an absolute minimum, consistent with achieving the objective indicated, it can be appropriate to
conduct more than one type of test on the same animal at the same time, e.g. pulp and dentine usage
test and pulp capping test. However, in accordance with ISO 10993-2 these tests are performed both
in an efficient and humane way. On all occasions when animal testing is undertaken, such tests are
conducted empathetically and according to standardized procedures as described for each test.
This document does not explicitly describe test methods for occupationally related risks.
Annex B is included to encourage the development of in vitro and ex vivo test methods which will further
reduce the use of animals in the evaluation of the biocompatibility of medical devices used in dentistry.
Annex C is based on and replaces ISO/TS 22911.

Introduction
This document describes the evaluation of the biocompatibility of medical devices used in dentistry. It is
to be used in conjunction with the ISO 10993 series of standards. This document contains special tests,
for which ample experience exists in dentistry and which acknowledge the special needs of dentistry.
Only test methods for which the members of the committee considered there was sufficient published
data have been included. In recommending test methods, the need to minimize the number and exposure
of test animals was given a high priority. It is essential that the decision to undertake tests involving
animals be reached only after a full and careful review of the evidence indicating that a similar outcome
cannot be achieved by other types of test. In order to keep the number of animals required for tests
to an absolute minimum, consistent with achieving the objective indicated, it can be appropriate to
conduct more than one type of test on the same animal at the same time, e.g. pulp and dentine usage
test and pulp capping test. However, in accordance with ISO 10993-2 these tests are performed both
in an efficient and humane way. On all occasions when animal testing is undertaken, such tests are
conducted empathetically and according to standardized procedures as described for each test.
This document does not explicitly describe test methods for occupationally related risks.
Annex B is included to encourage the development of in vitro and ex vivo test methods which will further
reduce the use of animals in the evaluation of the biocompatibility of medical devices used in dentistry.
Annex C is based on and replaces ISO/TS 22911.

3.1
medical device
any instrument, apparatus, appliance, software, material or other article, whether used alone or in
combination, together with any accessories, including the software necessary for its proper application
intended by the manufacturer to be used for medical purposes for human beings for the purpose of:
— diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment or alleviation of disease;
— diagnosis, monitoring, treatment, alleviation of or compensation for an injury or handicap;
— investigation, replacement or modification of the anatomy or of a physiological process;
— control of conception;
and which does not achieve its principal intended action in or on the human body by pharmacological,
immunological or metabolic means, but which may be assisted in its function by such means
3.2
dental material
material and/or substance or combination of materials and/or substances specially formulated and
prepared for use in the practice of dentistry and/or associated procedures
3.3
final product
medical device in its “as-used” state, as defined by the manufacturer’s specification or labelling
Note 1 to entry: Many dental materials are used in a freshly mixed state, and evaluation of the materials in both
freshly mixed and set conditions should be considered.
3.4
positive control
positive control material
any well characterized material and/or substance that, when evaluated by a specific test method,
demonstrates the suitability of the test system to yield a reproducible, appropriately positive or reactive
response in the test system
3.5
negative control
negative control material
any well characterized material and/or substance that, when evaluated by a specific test method,
demonstrates the suitability of the test system to yield a reproducible, appropriately negative, non-
reactive or minimal response in the test system
Note 1 to entry: In practice, negative controls include blanks, vehicles/solvents and reference materials.
3.6
reference material
material with one or more property values that are sufficiently reproducible and well established
to enable use of the material or substance for the calibration of an apparatus, the assessment of a
measurement method or for the assignment of values to materials
Note 1 to entry: For the purpose of this document, a reference material is any well characterized material and/or
substance that, when tested by the procedure described, demonstrates the suitability of the procedure to yield a
reproducible, predictable response. The response may be negative or positive.

hydraulic conductance
active movement or filtration of fluid and its constituents through a barrier such as dentin by means of
a pressure gradient
3.9
diffusion
establishment of passive movement of solutes (solublized constituents) by means of a diffusion gradient
through the “dentin barrier”
4 Categorization of medical devices
4.1 Categorization by nature of contact
4.1.1 General
For the purposes of this document, the classification of medical devices used in dentistry is derived
from ISO 10993-1. If a device or material can be placed in more than one category, the more rigorous
testing requirements shall apply. With multiple exposures the decision into which category a device is
placed shall take into account the potential cumulative effect, bearing in mind the period of time over
which these exposures occur.
NOTE In this context the term dentistry includes the oromaxillofacial environment.
4.1.2 Non-contact devices
These devices do not contact the patient’s body directly or indirectly, and are not included in
ISO 10993-1.
4.1.3 Surface-contacting devices
These devices include those that contact the surface of intact or breached or otherwise compromised
skin, the surface of intact or breached or otherwise compromised oral mucosa, and those that contact
the external surfaces of dental hard tissue, including enamel, dentine and cementum.
NOTE In some circumstances, dentine and cementum are considered as surfaces, e.g. after gingival
recession.
4.1.4 External communicating devices
These devices include dental devices that penetrate and are in contact with oral mucosa, dental hard
tissues, dental pulp tissue or bone, or any combination of these, and are exposed to the oral environment.
NOTE This group also includes any kind of lining or base material to be used under a restoration.
4.1.5 Implant devices used in dentistry
These devices include dental implants and other dental devices that are partially or fully embedded in
one or more of the following:
a) soft tissue, e.g. subperiosteal implants and subdermal implants;
b) bone, e.g. endosteal implants and bone substitutes;
c) pulpodentinal system of the tooth, e.g. endodontic materials;
