The Lythos Digital Impression System is intended for use in conjunction with the production of orthodontic and restorative dental appliances, including orthodontic aligners.
Device Story
Lythos Digital Impression System is a point-of-care turnkey imaging system for dental professionals. Hardware includes a handheld wand with a video camera and a base unit with a PC and touch screen. Operator moves wand over teeth; video camera captures images; software algorithms process images into real-time 3D digital impressions. Output is a 3D digital data file (.stl) stored locally and transmitted via wireless network to a data cloud. Data is accessed by licensed dental professionals for transfer to third-party manufacturers for CAD/CAM or 3D printing of orthodontic and restorative appliances. Device does not perform design, diagnosis, or treatment planning. Benefits include accurate, high-resolution digital impressions replacing traditional physical impressions.

#### 3. Predicate Device:
The Lythos Digital Impression System is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed device Digital Impression System K122065 cleared on February 8, 2013, product code NOF.
#### 4. Description of Device:
The Lythos Digital Impression System (DIS) is an optical impression system intended for use by dental professionals to record the topographical characteristics of teeth, gingiva, and/or palate or stone models. The Lythos DIS is intended for use in conjunction with the production of orthodontic and restorative dental appliances, including orthodontic aligners.
The Lythos DIS is a point-of-care turnkey imaging system used in the dental industry; the intra-oral wand hardware and personal computer (PC) based software form an integrated system that produces accurate, high resolution three dimensional (3D) digital images. The
{4}------------------------------------------------
end result of an intra-oral patient scan is a 3D digital impression data file that accurately describes the surfaces of teeth, gingiva, and palate within a patient's oral cavity, or the surfaces of a stone model.
The system consists of a handheld wand connected to a computer which is housed in a base unit. The computer contains proprietary software to acquire, process, and store the digital 3D image data. Patient information is entered into the software using a touch screen monitor connected to the computer. To capture a 3D image of the patient's dental arch and/or bite, the operator moves the wand along the surface of the teeth to be scanned. A video camera inside the wand captures images of the teeth surfaces. Algorithms in the software process these images into a 3D image and display the 3D image on the computer monitor in real time. The software also saves the 3D image data and identifying patient information to be used by orthodontic or restorative appliance manufacturers to design and manufacture customized appliances. The Lythos DIS device is also equipped with wireless network capability for secure transfer of the 3D image data to the orthodontic or restorative appliance manufacturer.
The Lythos DIS is only used to gather the topography of the mouth and teeth, and to upload the data file (.stl) to the data cloud. The data is available to the licensed dental professional to send to a third party manufacturer. The Lythos DIS .stl data file is used in conjunction with CAD/CAM or 3D printing manufacturing processes. The proposed Lythos DIS is not used for the design, diagnosis or treatment planning of orthodontic aligners.
- న్. Statement of Intended Use:
The Lythos Digital Impression System in an optical impression system intended for use by dental professionals to record the topographical characteristics of teeth, gingiva. and/or palate or stone models. The Lythos Digital Impression System is intended for use in conjunction with the production of orthodontic and restorative dental appliances, including orthodontic aligners.
#### 6. Description of Safety and Substantial Equivalence: Technological Characteristics
The technological characteristics of the proposed Lythos DIS are very similar to the predicate device, Digital Impression System (K122065). The indications for use have been expanded to include restoratives and orthodontic aligners. There are no substantial technical or functional differences between the Lythos DIS and the predicate (K122065) device. See Table 1 below for technological characteristics and comparisons of the CAD/CAM devices.
