Implanter Dental Implant Planning Software allows dental implant professionals to plan their implant surgeries and/or to design surgical appliances that will be used during surgery. The program will present the clinician with various reformatted CT/CBCT images of their patient's jaw(s), allow the placement and manipulation of virtual implants, and provide measurement and other tools to assist the clinician. Since the primary purpose of Implanter Dental Implant Planning Software is to aid the planning of implant surgeries, Implanter Dental Implant Planning Software will allow the surgeon to place simulated implants on the image and to gauge their size and position relative to the surrounding anatomy. {4}------------------------------------------------ Implanter is a digital image processing software for Windows that loads images in DICOM format (CT and CBCT images) and rebuilds them in order to get different views that allows the dentist to assess the patient´s anatomy, plan a dental implant surgery, and design a printable surgical guide based on the former. The software allows the dentist to: - · use a dental virtual implant gallery to plan a surgery choosing the proper implant size. The IMPLANTER software contains a virtual dental implants library based on the Groovy Implants from Noble Biocare® (FDA cleared under K050258). - Implanter Dental Planning Software generates 3D models and exports these . models in a format suitable for 3D printing to be used as physical models for visualization or educational purposes only. This clearance does not cover medical devices manufactured from those output files. - save the surgical planning session of a patient for later analysis. . Indications for Use: The IMPLANTER DENTAL PLANNING SOFTWARE is a device that employs previously scanned DICOM CT images in a software tool which serves as an aid to visualizing and preplanning of dental implant surgery. ## Comparison with the Predicate Devices [21 CFR 807.92(a) (6)] The IMPLANTER DENTAL PLANNING SOFTWARE is equivalent to the VIRTUAL IMPLANT PLACEMENT (VIP) DENTAL IMPLANT SURGERY PLANNING SOFTWARE by Implant Logic Systems Ltd cleared under K060267 and the IPS software by Symbio Dental LLC cleared under K113404. ### Technical Characteristics Comparison: The basic and main technical features of the subject device IMPLANTER DENTAL PLANNING SOFTWARE are the same as the predicated device ### Feature Comparison: Subject device has similar features and functionality as the predicate device: {5}------------------------------------------------ # Table of comparison similarities and differences | Feature | IMPLANTER K#173083 | VIRTUAL PLACEMENT K060267 | IPS K113404 | |---------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Image Source | CT Scanner | CT Scanner | CT Scanner, Cone beam CT machines, CT scanners | | IFU | This device employs previously scanned DICOM CT images in a software tool which serves as an aid to visualizing and pre- planning of dental implant surgery | This device employs previously scanned DICOM CT images in a software tool which serves as an aid to visualizing and pre- planning of dental implant surgery | IPS is a prescription use software used by dentist and dental lab technicians for the visualization and image segmentation of DICOM data from medical scanners such as CT.

Discussion of similarities: The IMPLANTER system features and functionalities are equivalent as those of predicate devices. All devices are software-based PC systems, using DICOM libraries and image controls for viewing and image manipulation. All systems use standard menu based graphical user interface. Discussion of differences: The IPS system (K113404) has additional features and functionalities than the IMPLANTER system has. IMPLANTER system requires more RAM memory and less hard disk space than the VIRTUAL IMPLANT PLACEMENT device {7}------------------------------------------------ (K060267), making it faster for image viewing. These differences and features do not raise safety or effectiveness concerns. ### EFFECTIVENESS AND SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS ### Clinical Test: Clinical testing is not required. ### Non-clinical Test: The IMPLANTER DENTAL PLANNING SOFTWARE has documented, validated and verified its software system. Performance tests have been conducted to verify equivalent performance to predicate devices. Performance tests include measurement accuracy of 3D and 2D measuring tools, neve tracing and implant positioning, and implant drilling accuracy. Report generation has also been validated to verify accuracy of the information reported. ## Substantially Equivalent Determination The subject device has similar technology characteristics and has the same intended use, as legally marketed devices. There are no differences between the devices that affect the usage, safety and effectiveness, thus no new question is raised regarding the safety and effectiveness. In accordance with the 21 CFR Part 807 and based on the information provided in this premarket notification, IMPLANTER IMPLANT PLANNING SOFTWARE is substantially equivalent to the predicate device with regards to safety and effectiveness.
