Device Description
The SimPlant Immediate Smile System is intended for use in treatment planning and placement of dental implants, in order to restore masticatory function. The SimPlant Immediate Smile System enables a predictable dental implant restoration procedure according to case planning done by the clinician. The SimPlant Immediate Smile System enables a provisional prosthesis to be produced prior to and attached in the same session as implant installation. The SimPlant Immediate Smile System includes SimPlant software that provides a method of importing medical imaging information from radiological imaging systems such as a Computer Tomography (CT) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to a computer file that is usable in conjunction with other diagnostic tools and expert clinical judgment. Visual representations of the imaged anatomical structures (e.g. the jaw) are derived, allowing for a three-dimensional assessment of the patient without patient contact. SimPlant enables the clinician to plan the dental implant positions including orientations pre-operatively in a virtual, 3D environment. The case planning can be used to produce patient specific SurgiGuide guides, thus transferring the virtual case planning into physical tools enabling the intra-operative preparation of the implant sites for the installation of implants in accordance to the virtual case planning. The SimPlant Immediate Smile System is based upon knowledge of the locations and orientations of the implants prior to surgery. This knowledge enables the production of a SurgiGuide surgical guide. Aided by the SurgiGuide surgical guide, the implant sites can be prepared and the dental implants placed in the predetermined locations, enabling the immediate installation of the custom-made prefabricated provisional Immediate Smile bridge.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes software for importing medical images, creating 3D representations, and planning implant placement. It mentions "expert clinical judgment" and "knowledge of the locations and orientations of the implants prior to surgery," but there is no mention of AI, ML, or any related terms or concepts that would indicate the use of such technology for tasks like image analysis, automated planning, or prediction. The performance studies focus on software validation, bench testing, and clinical evaluation of the system's usability and effectiveness, not on the performance of an AI/ML model.

No.
The SimPlant Immediate Smile System is a treatment planning and guidance system for dental implant placement, and serves as a tool enabling the restoration of masticatory function. It does not directly provide therapy.

No

The device is intended for treatment planning and placement of dental implants to restore masticatory function, rather than for diagnosing a condition or disease. While it imports medical imaging information from diagnostic tools (CT/MRI) and uses it in conjunction with other diagnostic tools and expert clinical judgment for assessment, its primary function is planning and guiding treatment, not diagnosis itself.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system includes "patient specific SurgiGuide guides" which are physical tools produced from the software planning. This indicates the system is not solely software.

Based on the provided information, the SimPlant Immediate Smile System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • SimPlant's Function: The SimPlant Immediate Smile System is used for treatment planning and placement of dental implants. It utilizes medical imaging data (CT/MRI) to create a 3D model of the patient's jaw and plan the surgical procedure. It also facilitates the creation of surgical guides and a provisional prosthesis.
  • No Specimen Analysis: The system does not analyze any biological specimens from the patient. Its function is based on processing and visualizing medical imaging data and facilitating a surgical procedure.

Therefore, the SimPlant Immediate Smile System falls under the category of a surgical planning and guidance system, not an IVD.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol

The software is thoroughly tested in accordance with documented test plans and in accordance to internal software development and testing procedures. This test plan is derived from the specifications and ensures that all controls and features are functioning properly. The software is validated together with end-users. The subsequent testing to validate the mitigations was documented in software test reports.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Software Validation in addition to bench top performance testing was conducted to ensure the compatibility of all system components.
The SimPlant® Immediate Smile System was evaluated in a clinical setting by 11 doctors from different countries. The System was evaluated with 20 patients. 6 different implant brands were used during the evaluation. Case follow-up was done after 12 weeks. Clinical feedback was gathered for all cases relative to the usability, aesthetic result and adequacy of the material properties of the system components. Predefined acceptance thresholds were met for all criteria indicative for the system safety and effectiveness. The immediate smile bridge component of the System can be used as a temporary restoration for immediate loading up to 12 weeks. The results of the clinical validation confirmed safety and effectiveness of the System.
Several Engineering tests and evaluations were undertaken to demonstrate the conformity of the system:
The minimal dimension of the cylindrical connections of the immediate smile bridge where determined based on the maximal load that should be withstood without risk of fracture of the bridge.
In order to evaluation the potential micro-movement of the implants upon loading of the immediate smile bridge component a predictive (mass-spring/ finite element) model was used. Micro-movement is a risk factor for implant failure. With bite load (point load) of 400 N on bridges without distal extension, predicted movements were shown to be acceptable.
Evaluation of cement bonding was conducted via pull-out testing of cylindrical abutments fixed by means of the standard composite into a cylindrical hole corresponding in dimensions with the cylinders incorporated in the design of the provisional restoration. With a average maximal tensile force of 232N and a minimal measured tensile force of 190 N, the threshold of 150 N was exceeded.
