Overview
This HTS category, 9021.29.80.00, encompasses "Other" artificial teeth and dental fittings, along with their parts and accessories, that are not specifically classified under other subheadings. It serves as a residual category for items not falling into more specific material-based classifications within dental prosthetics. The scope includes a wide array of dental components and assemblies used to replace or augment natural teeth or support dental structures.
Unlike the sibling category 9021.29.40.00 which specifically covers artificial teeth and dental fittings made of plastics, this category accounts for those constructed from other materials. This could include items made from ceramics, porcelain, metals (such as alloys of precious metals or base metals), or combinations of these materials. The primary function is to restore or improve oral function and aesthetics for patients with dental deficiencies.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification here hinges on the precise nature and composition of the artificial dental appliance or fitting, ensuring it is not classifiable as plastic and fits within the broader definition of artificial teeth and dental fittings. Examples might include custom-made ceramic crowns, porcelain veneers, or metal-based partial denture frameworks not solely comprised of plastic components.
