Indications for Use
3D Endo™ Software is intended to aid in the visualization, diagnosis and planning of endodontic treatment and retreatment cases utilizing DICOM images.
Device Story
3D Endo Software is a standalone desktop application for endodontic pre-operative planning. It imports DICOM images from CBCT scanners; processes multiple 2D images into a virtual 3D volume. Clinicians use a wizard-driven interface to isolate teeth, visualize soft/osseous tissue, examine canal anatomy, and simulate endodontic file placement. Output includes 3D visualizations, measurements (distance, angle, diameter), and simulated X-ray/panoramic views. The software supports treatment planning by allowing practitioners to assess root canal structures and select appropriate files. It does not control CBCT hardware or communicate patient data over the internet; projects are saved locally as encrypted files or PDF reports. The device benefits patients by enabling precise pre-operative assessment and planning for root canal procedures.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data included. Substantial equivalence supported by non-clinical bench testing, including software unit, integration, functional, and regression testing performed in accordance with IEC 62304. Usability testing conducted per IEC 62366-1 and FDA human factors guidance showed no new or unexpected use errors.
Technological Characteristics
Standalone desktop software; Windows OS; processes DICOM images from CBCT scanners. Features volume rendering, 3D/2D visualization, and measurement tools. Software lifecycle follows IEC 62304. No physical components; no patient-contacting materials.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring endodontic treatment or retreatment, aiding clinicians in visualization, diagnosis, and pre-operative planning using CBCT-derived DICOM images.

### 5.4 Description of Device:
The proposed 3D Endo™ Software is image processing software for simulating 3D images using Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine (DICOM) images of the respective tooth and the surrounding tissue. The DICOM images used by the proposed 3D Endo™ Software are imported from those generated by Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scanners. The proposed 3D Endo™ Software has no direct control or interface with the CBCT Scanner.
This imaging is used to provide a means for pre-operative planning for endodontic root canal procedures. The proposed 3D Endo™ Software is stand-alone software, with no physical component. It is downloaded and locally installed on the end user's computer system, and updated automatically as required through an active internet connection.
{4}------------------------------------------------
The proposed 3D Endo™ Software allows a user to create a 3D image from DICOM images using a 5 step process. The user can diagnose their case, visually isolate the tooth of interest and surrounding soft and osseous tissue, investigate the canal system, understand the 3D canal anatomy, and create a treatment plan by following the steps laid out in the software's wizard.
The proposed 3D Endo™ Software functions by processing 2D images received in DICOM format from a CBCT scanning device, and processing multiple images into a virtual 3D image. The user can measure, assess, and visualize the anatomy of the root canal structure, both with and without simulated instruments, allowing the practitioner to plan the endodontic procedure. While the proposed 3D Endo™ Software is classified as a picture archiving and communication system, the system does not communicate patient data such as DICOM images through the internet. The proposed 3D Endo™ Software functions by accessing DICOM images either stored locally on the system hard drive by the user, or by accessing DICOM images stored on media (e.g. CD/DVD, USB drive) attached to the local system on which proposed 3D Endo™ Software is installed. By default, the proposed 3D Endo™ Software does not export and store any patient data to the local hard drive. Upon explicit action by the user, an encrypted project file may be saved or a PDF report can be generated. The proposed 3D Endo™ Software provides an extra function to anonymize the dataset.

3D Endo™ Software is intended to aid in the visualization, diagnosis and planning of endodontic treatment and re-treatment cases utilizing DICOM images.

5.7 Analysis of differences between Proposed and Predicate Devices:
The proposed 3D Endo™ Software is similar to predicate SimPlant 2011 (K110300) in basic technology; since both devices processes the DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine) images received from CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) scanners to create 3D images of tooth and surrounding tissue anatomy. Both devices utilizes same image format (DICOM image files) from same image source (CBCT scanner). The proposed 3D Endo™ Software and SimPlant 2011 (K110300) are intended to aid in planning for dental Endodontic treatment procedure using 3D images. Both devices are desktop software applications running on windows operating system with similar software features such as taking measurements, simulated panoramic/X-ray view, tooth geometry presentation, 2D gray value images, open and save projects.
The dissimilar aspects of the proposed 3D Endo™ Software as compared to the SimPlant 2011 (K110300) software are related to the variant uses of the two software packages. The predicate SimPlant 2011 (K110300) software is intended to be used as a pre-planning software for dental implant placement and surgical treatment, and the proposed 3D Endo™ Software is intended for use in the visualization, diagnosis and planning of endodontic treatment and re-treatment cases.
The proposed 3D Endo™ Software is used to provide a means for advanced root canal visualization and endodontic files selection support hence functionalities related to the visualization of soft and osseous tissue, virtual occludation, and surgical guidance are not required to fulfill the intended usage of the proposed 3D Endo™ Software as compared to SimPlant 2011 (K110300) functionalities.
Because 3D Endo™ Software is used to provide a means for advanced root canal visualization and endodontic files selection, the proposed 3D Endo™ Software utilizes Volume Rendering in its functionality as opposed to the more complex segmentation used by SimPlant 2011 (K110300). These dissimilarities are therefore only related to specific variations of the uses of the imaging software, and do not relate to the fundamental technology or similarities in the intended uses of the two devices. Dentsply believes that segmentation differences do not create any new questions about safety, effectiveness and substantial equivalence as evidence by software verification and validation provided in this submission.
# 5.8 Non-Clinical Performance Data:
The proposed 3D Endo™ Software is a software device with no physical component. It does not incorporate, nor does it control a patient contacting device or material. Therefore, no biocompatibility, sterilization, shelf life, animal, or clinical testing was included to support substantial equivalence. The performance of proposed 3D Endo™ Software satisfactorily met the requirements of the non-clinical bench testing conducted to support substantial equivalence. Software verification and validation was conducted in accordance with the software life cycle processes, as defined in IEC 62304 to ensure the functionality and compatibility of all system components and to support the substantial equivalence of the proposed 3D EndoTM Software. Test data has been provided including: software unit testing, software integration/functional testing, and regression testing in software section. Software testing demonstrated compliance with the requirements of the IEC 62304 standard. In addition to the software validation and verification testing, the following testing was performed on proposed 3D Endo™ Software and was included to support substantial equivalence.

# 5.9 Clinical Performance Data
No human clinical data is included in this premarket notification to support substantial equivalence.
## 5.10 Conclusion Regarding Substantial Equivalence:
The proposed 3D Endo™ Software is DICOM image visualization software which is intended to aid in the visualization, diagnosis and planning of endodontic treatment and re-treatment cases using DICOM images received from a CBCT Scanner.
The proposed 3D Endo™ Software has the same intended use, incorporates the same fundamental technology, and has similar indications for use as the predicate SimPlant 2011 software cleared under premarket notification K110300. Test data to verify the performance of the proposed 3D Endo™ Software has been provided including: software unit testing, software integration/functional testing, and regression testing. The results of this testing, combined with the design and intended use comparison with the predicate device, support substantial equivalence.
