The summary describes standard image processing and visualization tools for dental implant planning, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for tasks like automated segmentation, diagnosis, or predictive modeling.
No.
The device is a software tool used for planning and visualizing dental implant surgery, not for therapeutic intervention.
No
The device is described as a "planning software" that aids in visualizing and preplanning dental implant surgery, allows the placement and manipulation of virtual implants, and provides measurement tools. It helps dentists assess anatomy and plan surgery. It does not provide a diagnosis of a disease or condition, but rather assists in treatment planning based on patient anatomy.
Yes
The device is explicitly described as "software" throughout the document, processes digital images (DICOM CT/CBCT), and provides planning tools and outputs digital files for potential 3D printing (though the printed device is not covered). There is no mention of accompanying hardware components included with the device itself.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVDs are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The primary function of an IVD is to provide information about a patient's health status through the analysis of samples like blood, urine, tissue, etc.
- This device processes medical images (DICOM CT/CBCT) of the patient's anatomy. It uses these images to aid in the planning of a surgical procedure (dental implant surgery). It does not analyze biological specimens.
- The intended use is for surgical planning and visualization. The software helps dental professionals visualize the patient's jaw, place virtual implants, and design surgical guides. This is a pre-operative planning tool, not a diagnostic test performed on a biological sample.
The device falls under the category of medical image processing software used for surgical planning, which is distinct from in vitro diagnostics.

Device Description
The Implanter Dental Implant Planning Software is a software aimed to help simplifying dental implant surgery and enhancing its mechanical and esthetic implications in the prosthetic stage. 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.
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. .

*Implant models based on Groovy Implants from Noble Biocare® (FDA cleared under K050258).
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.
