Intended Use

VELMENI for DENTISTS (V4D) is a concurrent-read, computer-assisted detection software intended to assist dentists in the clinical detection of dental caries, fillings/restorations, fixed prostheses, and implants in digital bitewing, periapical, and panoramic radiographs of permanent teeth in patients 15 years of age or older. This device provides additional information for dentists in examining radiographs of patients' teeth. This device is not intended as a replacement for a complete examination by the dentist or their clinical judgment that considers other relevant information from the image, patient history, or actual in vivo clinical assessment. Final diagnoses and patient treatment plans are the responsibility of the dentist.

Device Story

V4D is a cloud-hosted, concurrent-read CADe software for dentists. It accepts digital bitewing, periapical, and panoramic radiographs (JPG, PNG, DCM, DEX, RVG) as input. The device uses a machine learning engine to analyze images, performing tooth numbering, condition detection (caries, restorations, fixed prostheses, implants), and segmentation. Results are returned to the user interface as graphical overlays (segmentation or bounding boxes) on the radiograph. The system includes a web interface, backend API, and an AI-worker module. It integrates with third-party patient management/imaging software via the Velmeni Bridge. Dentists use the output as a second reader to assist in clinical assessment; the device does not replace professional judgment or complete examination. Benefits include improved sensitivity in detecting dental conditions, aiding in diagnosis and treatment planning.

Clinical Evidence

Performance evaluated via standalone testing (600 bitewing, 597 periapical, 600 panoramic images) and a multi-reader, fully crossed reader improvement study (12 US dentists). Standalone testing measured sensitivity, specificity, and Dice coefficients. Reader study compared aided vs. unaided performance using wAFROC AUC, sensitivity, and specificity. Results demonstrated clear clinical benefit for bitewing and periapical views across all features, with improved sensitivity. Panoramic view showed smaller absolute benefit for caries sensitivity.

Technological Characteristics

Software-only medical image analyzer. Uses neural network-based machine learning algorithms. Cloud-hosted architecture. Inputs: digital bitewing, periapical, and panoramic radiographs (JPG, PNG, DCM, DEX, RVG). Outputs: graphical overlays (segmentation/bounding boxes) on radiographs. No patient-contacting components; no electrical/EMC requirements.

Indications for Use

Indicated for dentists to assist in clinical detection of dental caries, fillings/restorations, fixed prostheses, and implants in digital bitewing, periapical, and panoramic radiographs of permanent teeth in patients 15 years of age or older.

Comparison of the Proposed Device. Predicate Device and Reference Devices {5}------------------------------------------------ {6}------------------------------------------------ {7}------------------------------------------------ # Technological Characteristics As shown in Table 1 above, the proposed VELMENI for DENTISTS (V4D) device and the predicate device have similar indications for use and uses the same fundamental technology (i.e., machine learning technology). Differences in technological characteristics include that each device uses its own proprietary algorithm to analyze digital radiographs. The proposed device's output is not limited to caries but includes restorations, fixed prostheses, and implants. Reference devices were identified because they demonstrate the Agency's familiarity with computer-assisted technology and the ability to identify and detect conditions beyond caries and in radiographs other than bitewing and periapical. The differences in technological characteristics do not raise new or different questions of safety or effectiveness. The proposed device and the predicate device are technologically equivalent as follows: - Both devices are designed to process digital bitewing and periapical radiographs. - Both devices use neural network-based computer algorithms. ● - Both devices mark detections within the user interface with a graphical overlay on the radiograph. - . Both devices produce near-instantaneous detection results. - Both devices are for prescription use. ● - Both devices utilize cloud-hosted solutions. ● {8}------------------------------------------------ The proposed device and the predicate device are technologically different as follows: - The proposed device can detect other dental features (i.e., restorations, fixed prostheses, . and implants) in addition to dental caries. The ability to detect other dental features has been cleared in other devices within this same requlation and product code. - The proposed device is capable of making detections in panoramic radiographs in addition to the bitewing and periapical radiographs. The ability to detect dental features in panoramic radiographs has been cleared in other devices within the same requlation and product code. - The proposed device will be used on patient images from 15 years old or older with permanent teeth. The use of the device in patients as young as 12 years of age with permanent teeth has already been cleared within the predicate device. - . Once suspected findings are detected in a radiograph, the proposed device overlays the radiograph with segmentation on the radiograph or alternatively a bounding box outlining the detected regions of suspected caries, restorations, fixed prosthesis, and implants, while predicate device does so with segmented polygons outlining the detected regions of suspected caries or fills suspected caries. - . The proposed device utilizes a different list of compatibility of image types as compared to the predicate device. # Performance Data # Biocompatibilitv Testing: There are no direct or indirect patient-contacting components of the proposed device. Therefore, patient contact information and biocompatibility testing are not applicable for this device. # Electrical Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC): The proposed device is a software-only device. It contains no electric components, generates no electrical emissions, and uses no electrical energy of any type. Therefore, electrical safety and EMC testing is not applicable for this device. # Software Verification and Validation Tests: Software verification and validation testing were conducted, and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Content of Premarket Submission for Device Software Functions." Verification of the software was conducted to ensure that the product works as designed. Validation was conducted to validate the design and the performance of the device to meet user needs and intended uses. VELMENI FOR DENTISTS (V4D) passed all verification and validation software tests. Overall, the VELMENI for DENTISTS (V4D) was found to be safe and effective for all intended users, uses, and use environments. # Animal Testing: Animal studies were not necessary to establish the substantial equivalence of this device. # Bench Testing and Clinical Testing: Velmeni Inc. conducted performance testing according to FDA's Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff, "Computer-Assisted Detection Devices Applied to Radiology Images and Radiological Device Data- Premarket Notification (510(k)) Submissions," as part of the development of VELMENI for DENTISTS (V4D).
