Indications for Use
CEREC Ortho Software is intended for use with image data acquired from handheld intra oral 3D cameras and desktop laboratory scanners to create 3D virtual models to be used for data acquisition and modeling analysis for orthodontic patients and conditions. The CEREC Ortho Software 3D model data can be exported to orthodontic design software to aid in the design of orthodontic appliances.
Device Story
CEREC Ortho Software is a standalone software application used by dental professionals to process 3D image data from intra-oral cameras or desktop scanners. It generates 3D virtual dental models, serving as digital equivalents to physical plaster casts. The software enables segmentation, editing, and clinical measurements, including Bolton, Nance, and Moyers analyses. Users perform occlusal mapping and define dental arch parameters. The resulting models and analyses are exported to external orthodontic design software or laboratories for treatment planning and appliance fabrication. The device assists clinicians in visualizing patient anatomy and planning orthodontic interventions, potentially improving treatment accuracy and workflow efficiency compared to traditional physical impressions.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data was included. Substantial equivalence is supported by non-clinical bench testing, including verification of measurement accuracy, trueness and precision of optical impressions, and software lifecycle validation per IEC 62304.
Technological Characteristics
Standalone software for Windows 7 (64-bit) OS. Minimum requirements: Intel QuadCore 1.6 GHz, 8 GB RAM, 250 GB storage, and dedicated graphics card. Inputs: intra-oral 3D camera data and desktop scanner STL files. Outputs: 3D virtual models and analysis data. No patient-contacting components; no biocompatibility or sterilization required.
Indications for Use
Indicated for orthodontic patients requiring data acquisition and modeling analysis of 3D virtual dental models created from intra-oral 3D camera or desktop scanner image data to aid in orthodontic treatment planning and appliance design.

#### 4. Description of Device:
The CEREC Ortho Software is stand-alone software which utilizes images of the patient's intraoral anatomy from intra-oral cameras and/or desktop laboratory scanners to create a 3D virtual dental model that can be used in the same manner as a traditional physical dental model.
The CEREC Ortho Software facilitates the segmentation and editing of the 3D virtual digital model as well as analysis which can be used in secondary orthodontic treatment planning. The software allows for measurement and jaw analysis to be performed - including Bolton, Nance, and Moyers analyses. The models and analysis produced by the proposed CEREC Ortho Software can be exported to an orthodontic laboratory or directly to orthodontic appliance manufacturers for use in orthodontic treatment planning and design of orthodontic appliances.
{4}------------------------------------------------
The proposed CEREC Ortho Software is intended to be used wherever cast impressions are used and in the identical manner in which the traditional physical models are used (i.e., to record topographical characteristics of dentition, gingiva, palate, and/or oral anatomy in conjunction with the treatment planning and production of orthognathic/orthodontic appliances).
#### న. Indications for Use:
CEREC Ortho Software is intended for use with image data acquired from handheld intra oral 3D cameras and desktop laboratory scanners to create 3D virtual models to be used for data acquisition and modeling analysis for orthodontic patients and conditions. The CEREC Ortho Software 3D model data can be exported to orthodontic design software to aid in the design of orthodontic appliances.
#### 6. Substantial Equivalence:
The CEREC Ortho Software has the same intended use and incorporates the same fundamental technology as the predicate software device. Both the CEREC Ortho Software and the predicate 3Shape Ortho System™ (K152086) are stand-alone software devices which are intended as Orthodontic Treatment Software devices (Product Code PNN, under 21 CFR 872.5470 ) and. as such are intended to aid in the diagnosis and treatment planning of orthodontic patients and conditions.
Detailed comparison of the intended use and technological characteristics and features of the CEREC Ortho Software and the predicate 3Shape Ortho System™ (K152086) devices is presented in Tables 6.1 and 6.2.

Table 6.2: Technological Characteristics and Features (continued)
The CEREC Ortho Software and the predicate 3Shape Ortho System™ (K152086) both facilitate their intended use through the acquisition of image scan data of the oral topography. With the acquired image data, the proposed device and predicate device (K152086) create 3D virtual dental models of the patient's dentition. These virtual dental models are functional equivalents of physical cast models.
The CEREC Ortho Software and the predicate 3Shape Ortho System™ (K152086) automatically provide alignment tools, measurement, and perform analysis of the 3D virtual models. With respect to the proposed CEREC Ortho Software, the 3D virtual model and finalized analysis can be exported to support orthodontic treatment planning. However, in the case of the predicate 3Shape Ortho System™ (K152086), orthodontic treatment planning is also integral to the software device functionality through: simulated orthodontic treatment; virtual design and placement of orthodontic appliances, and export for the finalized orthodontic treatment plan.
{7}------------------------------------------------
#### 7. Non-Clinical Performance Data
In support of the substantial equivalence of the CEREC Ortho Software, performance and software testing were conducted and are included and the results support substantial equivalence:
- . Testing to verify the accuracy of the measurement functions of the CEREC Ortho Software as well as the trueness and precision of optical impressions produced using CEREC optical impression systems and the CEREC Omnicam intra-oral scanner (510(k)-exempt under 21 CFR 872.3661).
- Validation of the CEREC Ortho Software in conformity with IEC 62304 (Medical device . software – Software lifecycle processes).
The CEREC Ortho Software does not include any physical device, accessory, or component with patient contacting intended use. Therefore, no biocompatibility data, sterilization, or shelf life analyses were included in support of substantial equivalence.
#### 8. Clinical Performance Data
No human clinical data was included to support substantial equivalence.
#### 9. Conclusion Regarding Substantial Equivalence
The CEREC Ortho Software has the same intended use as that of the predicate 3Shape Ortho System™ (K152086) software. Both devices are orthodontic software devices regulated under 21 CFR 872.5470 and as such are intended for use to aid in the diagnosis and treatment planning of orthodontic patients and conditions.
The predicate 3Shape Ortho System™ (K152086) is additionally regulated as a Radiological Image Processing System under 21 CFR 892.2050 due to its functionality to utilize CT DICOM images as input. However, the proposed CEREC Ortho Software does not incorporate this functionality and therefore is proposed for an intended use which is a subset of the predicate device (K152086) to which it is compared.
Non-clinical testing and software validation data are included to demonstrate the performance of the CEREC Ortho Software against its design, functional, and safety requirements. The results of the testing support a determination of substantial equivalence.
