#### IV. Device Description
NobelClinician® is a software interface used to support the image-based diagnostic process and treatment planning of dental, cranio-maxillofacial, and related treatments. The product will also be marketed as DTX Studio implant.
The software offers a visualization technique for (CB)CT images of the patient for the diagnostic and treatment planning process. In addition, 2D image data such as photographic images and X-ray images or surface scans of the intra-oral situation may be visualized to bring diagnostic image data together. Prosthetic information can be added and visualized to support prosthetic implant planning. The surgical plan, including the implant positions and the prosthetic information, can be exported for the design of dental restorations in NobelDesign® (DTX Studio design).
Surgical planning may be previewed using the software and the related surgical template may be ordered.
#### V. Indications for Use
NobelClinician® (DTX Studio Implant) is a software interface for the transfer and visualization of 2D and 3D image information from equipment such as a CT scanner for the purposes of supporting the diagnostic process, treatment planning and follow-up in the dental and cranio-maxillofacial regions.
NobelClinician® (DTX Studio Implant) can be used to support guided implant surgery and to provide design input for and review of dental restorative solutions. The results can be exported to be manufactured.
{5}------------------------------------------------
#### VI. Comparison of Technological Characteristics
NobelClinician® and the predicate device share the following characteristics:
- Treatment of same anatomic areas (maxilla, mandible, and cranio-maxillofacial)
- . Patient data management features
- 3D planning environment ●
- Creation of surgical templates (through a radiographic guide workflow) ●
- Communication module (data sharing capability) using NobelConnect and ● NobelClinician® Viewer
- . Order module
- . Support of the NobelGuide1 clinical concept for oral rehabilitation based on dental implants.
NobelClinician® is technologically different from the predicate device as follows:
- . Acceptance of surface data from the intraoral situation. This surface information is aligned to DICOM data to support the prosthetic implant planning and guided surgery protocols.
- For partially edentulous patients, the shape of missing teeth is automatically designed
- Creation of surgical template based on intraoral surface data
- Export of the surgical template design to be manufactured ●
- . Export of the treatment plan for dental restoration design in NobelDesign® (DTX Studio design)
- Option to design surgical templates for fully guided implant insertion or pilot drill ●
- . Volume based matching of data such as voxel base matching of (CB)CT (e.g. for postop evaluation), and surface alignment of 3D data
A comparison of the subject and predicate devices is provided in the table below.

## Discussion
As seen above, the subject and predicate devices have similar indications for use statements. Slight differences in wording allow for clarity and align with the added functionality within the subject device. These changes in the indications for use statement do not alter the intended use of the product.
{8}------------------------------------------------
Added software features within the subject device provide users with more flexibility and options to support the diagnostic process and treatment planning. These technological differences are addressed by the performance data identified below and do not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness.
#### VII. Performance Data
The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.
Non-Clinical Studies
- Software verification and validation per EN IEC 62304:2006 ●
### VIII. Conclusion
Although minor differences in design and technology exist between the subject and predicate device, the testing cited above supports these differences. Therefore, it is concluded that the NobelClinician® is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
