Indications for Use
Planmeca Romexis is a medical imaging software intented for use in dental and medical care as a tool for displaying and visualizing dental and medical 2D and 3D image files from imaging devices, such as projection radiography and CBCT. It is intended for use by radiologists, clinicians, referring physicians and other qualified individuals to retrieve, process, render, diagnose, review, store, print, and distribute images of both adult and pediatric patients. Planmeca Romexis is also a preoperative software used for dental implant planning. Based on the planned implant position a model of a surgical guide for a guided implant surgery can be designed. The designed objects can be exported to manufacture a separate physical product. Planmeca Romexis is also a preoperative software for simulating surgical treatment options. Planmeca Romexis is also intended to be used for monitoring, storing and displaying mandibular jaw positions and movements relative to the maxilla. Additionally, Planmeca Romexis includes monitoring features for Planmeca devices for maintenance purposes. The software is designed to work as a stand-alone or as an accessory to Planmeca imaging and Planmeca dental unit products in standard PC.
Device Story
Planmeca Romexis is modular dental/medical imaging software; operates on standard PCs; functions as standalone or accessory to Planmeca imaging/dental units. Inputs include 2D/3D image files (e.g., projection radiography, CBCT), optical impressions, and jaw motion data. Software processes, renders, and displays images; provides tools for enhancement, linear/angular/volumetric measurements, implant planning, surgical simulation, and mandibular movement monitoring. Includes maintenance monitoring for Planmeca hardware. Output consists of visualized diagnostic images, surgical guide designs for export/manufacturing, and treatment simulations. Used by radiologists, clinicians, and surgeons in clinical settings to assist in diagnosis and preoperative planning. Benefits include improved visualization, precise implant positioning, and surgical workflow efficiency.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Verification and validation included risk analysis, requirements/design reviews, and performance/safety testing. Bench testing compared images rendered by Planmeca Romexis against predicate software versions, confirming equal effectiveness in essential functions and substantially equivalent clinical data output.
Technological Characteristics
Software-based imaging system; operates on standard PC hardware. Features multi-planar reconstruction (MPR), 3D volume rendering, and surface rendering. Supports DICOM format. Includes modules for implant planning, surgical simulation, and jaw motion tracking. Connectivity includes integration with Practice Management Systems and hospital PACS. No specific materials or energy sources as it is a software-only device.
Indications for Use
Indicated for adult and pediatric patients requiring dental and medical 2D/3D image visualization, dental implant planning, surgical treatment simulation, and monitoring of mandibular jaw positions relative to the maxilla. Intended for use by authorized healthcare professionals including radiologists, clinicians, and referring physicians. Implant planning requires training in implantology/surgical dentistry; surgical planning requires training in maxillofacial surgery.

# DEVICE DESCRIPTION
Planmeca Romexis is a modular imaging software for dental and medical use. It is divided into modules to provide user access to different workflow steps involving different diagnostic views of images. Patient management screen with search capabilities lets users to find patients and identify correct patient file before starting work with a patient. After creating or selecting patient, new images can be acquired using select Planmeca X-ray units.
Planmeca Romexis is capable of processing and displaying 2D images in different formats and 3D CBCT images in DICOM format. 3D CBCT images can be viewed in near real-time multi projection reconstruction (MPR) views. 2D and 3D image browsers are provided to allow user access to relevant images. Typical image enhancement filters and tools are available to assist the user in making diagnosis, but original exposure is always kept in the database for reference.

# NON-CLINICAL TEST RESULTS
The following quality assurance measures were applied to the development of the Software:
- Risk Analysis
- Requirements Reviews
- Design Reviews
- . Performance testing (Verification)
- . Safety testing (Verification)
- . Final acceptance testing (Validation)
- Bench testing to compare with predicate software ●
Testing confirmed that Planmeca Romexis is stable and operating as designed. Testing also confirmed that Planmeca Romexis has been evaluated for hazards and that the risk has been reduced to acceptable levels.
The non-clinical bench-testing of Planmeca Romexis with predicate software versions were performed by comparison of images rendered by Planmeca Romexis and the predicate software versions. The results confirm that the software applications are equally effective in performing the essential functions and provide substantially equivalent clinical data.
