Intended Use

DTX Studio Clinic is a software program for the acquisition, management, transfer and analysis of dental and craniomaxillofacial image information, and can be used to provide design input for dental restorative solutions. It displays and enhances digital images from various sources to support the diagnostic process and treatment planning. It stores and provides these images within the system or across computer systems at different locations.

Device Story

DTX Studio Clinic 3.0 is a software-based medical image management and processing system for dental and craniomaxillofacial practitioners. It ingests diverse inputs including DICOM volumes (CBCT/CT), 2D X-rays (OPG/panorex, cephalometric, intraoral), clinical photos, and 3D face/intraoral scans (STL/PLY/NXA). The software provides tools for image enhancement, measurement (distance, angle, volume), airway segmentation, and implant planning. It features an automated algorithm for mandibular canal annotation based on anatomical landmarks. Used in clinical settings, the software allows practitioners to visualize, annotate, and store patient data locally or across networked systems. Outputs include diagnostic reports, treatment plans, and exported image/model files. By centralizing imaging data and providing automated analysis tools, the device assists clinicians in diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning, potentially improving patient outcomes in restorative and surgical dental procedures.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Verification and validation activities were conducted in accordance with FDA guidance for software validation and ISO 13485:2016/IEC 62304:2006 standards. Testing confirmed that all functional requirements were met for the software, which is classified as a Moderate Level of Concern.

Technological Characteristics

Software-based medical image management system. Operates on Windows 10 64-bit, macOS Catalina, and macOS BigSur. Supports DICOM, STL, PLY, and NXA file formats. Features include image filtering, annotation, distance/angular/volumetric measurements, airway segmentation, and automated mandibular canal annotation. Connectivity via local or networked database (DTX Studio Core).

Indications for Use

Indicated for dental and craniomaxillofacial practitioners to acquire, manage, transfer, and analyze medical imaging data (2D/3D) to support diagnostic processes and treatment planning, including dental restorative solutions.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A medical image management and processing system is a device that provides one or more capabilities relating to the review and digital processing of medical images for the purposes of interpretation by a trained practitioner of disease detection, diagnosis, or patient management. The software components may provide advanced or complex image processing functions for image manipulation, enhancement, or quantification that are intended for use in the interpretation and analysis of medical images. Advanced image manipulation functions may include image segmentation, multimodality image registration, or 3D visualization. Complex quantitative functions may include semi-automated measurements or time-series measurements.

Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls; voluntary standards—Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) Std., Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) Std., Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) Test Pattern).

Automatic annotation of the mandibular canals is shared with the reference device InVivoDental (K123519). As seen in the table above, the subject and predicate devices are equivalent in terms of software functionalities. All devices allow import of variety of 2D/3D imaging data, its enhancement, viewing, processing and visualization for the purpose of supporting the diagnostic and treatment planning process. Difference in indications for use and software features are discussed below. #### Differences: #### Indications for Use The Indications for Use statement between the subject and the primary predicate device (K203156) are the same. Both DTX Studio Clinic 3.0 and the primary predicate device DTX Studio Clinic 2.0 allow display and enhancement of medical images from various sources, i.e. from various digital imaging systems. In addition, they also allow for retrieving and storage of image data within the system (locally) or across computer systems in distributed locations. DTX Studio Clinic 3.0 allows transfer of images and patient data (store and retrieval) to and from the DTX Studio Core database, thus making the data available in different locations. Both the subject and primary predicate are software solutions indicated for the display and processing of medical image information and are intended to support the diagnostic process predominately within dentistry. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons offer treatments which can cover the complete craniomaxillofacial area (including the dental area). For this reason, the subject device allows the user to visualize and evaluate data for the entire craniomaxillofacial area, as a support for the diagnostic process. Both the subject and primary predicate provide design input for restorative solutions to 3rd party software or software from DTX Studio ecosystem, but it does not provide functionality of designing restorations within the software itself. {12}------------------------------------------------ ## Differences in software features/functionality Input data/Image acquisition - 3D Face scans - The difference between the subject device and the predicate device is that 3D facial scans can now be imported and visualized in the software. 3D Face scans can be used to provide the user with additional information to perform diagnosis and treatment planning. Diagnostic -Automatic annotation of the mandibular canals - The difference between the subject device and the predicate device is that DTX Studio Clinic 3.0 allows the segmentation and visualization of the mandibular canals. The software automatically segments the mandibular canal based on the identification of the mandibular foramen and the mental foramen. This functionality is similar as in the reference device InVivoDental (K123519). The user can also manually indicate or adjust the mandibular canal. Intraoral scanner- The difference between the subject device and the predicate device is that the DTX Studio ioscan module, classified as NOF, 872.3661 (510k exempt) is no longer available into the DTX Studio Clinic 3.0. This change does not affect the intended use of the software, since customers can import data from optical intraoral scanners into DTX Studio Clinic 3.0 ## Minor differences: Various operating systems are currently supported by DTX Studio Clinic 3.0, due to release of new versions of these operating systems during the lifecycle of DTX Studio Clinic 3.0. DTX Studio Clinic 3.0 was tested and validated on these operating systems #### VII. Performance Data DTX Studio Clinic 3.0 is designed and manufactured under the Quality System Regulations as outlined in 21 CFR § 820 and ISO 13485:2016 Standards. This device is in conformance with the applicable parts of IEC 62304:2006 standards. Design Control Activities, including risk management following the ISO 14971:2019, verification/validation testing, were conducted and are included in this submission. The performance of the subject device was verified and validated following the guidance provided in FDA Guidance General Principles of Software Validation. This documentation includes testing which demonstrates that the requirements for the features have been met. Software documentation for Moderate Level of Concern and description of respective V&V activities, per the FDA guidance document, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices" issued on May 11, 2005, is also included as part of this submission. ## Software Validation Software verification and validation testing was conducted on the subject device and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA {13}------------------------------------------------ Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices". ## VIII. Conclusion Based on the comparison of the intended use, the features and workflows, the user interface, the technical characteristics, and based on the software verification/validation activities described in this submission, DTX Studio Clinic 3.0 is found to be substantially equivalent to the identified Predicate Device.
