The system is designed to assist in navigation of dental surgeries utilizing a Dental handpiece. These surgeries include performing endodontic access procedures, and delivering regulatory cleared dental implants. The addition of ToolTrace and Straight Cuts further supports dental implantation procedures by allowing the navigation of bone reduction (alveoloplasty). This device consists of a Mobile Cart, equipped with a Monitor, Boom Arm, Navigation Assembly, optional Keyboard, Mouse and an Electronics Enclosure. The Electronics Enclosure contains system power supplies, data processing hardware, and electronics control circuitry for coordinating operation of the X-Guide Surgical Navigation System. A Monitor, Keyboard, and Mouse serve as the main user interface for the surgeon. The Boom Arm allows the operator to manipulate the Navigation Assembly position for optimal distance and alignment to patterns located with the surgical region (Surgi-Zone) for tracking purposes. The Navigation Assembly contains two cameras oriented in a stereo configuration, along with blue lighting for illuminating the patterns and mitigating ambient lighting noise. This electro-optical device is designed to aid in dental surgical procedures by providing the surgeon with accurate surgical tool placement and guidance with respect to a surgical plan built upon Computed Tomographic (CT scan) data. The surgical process occurs in two stages. Stage 1 is the pre-operative planning of the surgical procedure. The dental surgeon plans the surgical procedure in the X-Guide System Planning Software. A virtual implant or trajectory is aligned and oriented to the desired location in the CT scan, allowing the dental surgeon to avoid interfering with critical anatomical structures during surgery. Once an implant or trajectory has been optimally positioned, the plan is transferred to the X-Guide Surgical Navigation System in preparation for surgery. In Stage 2, the intra-operative surgical stage, the system provides accurate guidance of the dental surgical instruments according to the pre-operative plan. Two primary, case-specific calibrations underpin the guidance system: Patient Tracker calibration and Handpiece calibration. Patient Tracker calibration is performed to determine the geometric relationship between the Patient Tracker and patient anatomy. Handpiece calibration is performed to determine the geometric relationship between the Handpiece Tracker or ToolTrace Handpiece Tracker and the tip of the surgical instrument. After calibration, as the dental surgeon moves the surgical instrument around the patient anatomy, 2D barcode tracking patterns on the Handpiece Tracker, ToolTrace Tracker, and the Patient Tracker are detected by visible light cameras in a stereo 1555 Bustard Road, Suite #75, Lansdale, PA 19446 / 267-436-0420 / www.X-NavTech.com {6} X-NAV TECHNOLOGIES configuration and processed by data processing hardware to precisely and continuously track the motion of the dental handpiece and the surgically-relevant portion of the patient. The relative motion of the dental handpiece and the patient anatomy, captured by the tracking hardware, is combined with patient-specific calibration data. This enables a 3D graphical representation of the handpiece to be animated and depicted in precise location and orientation relative to a 3D depiction of the target, along with depictions of the patient anatomy, and other features defined in the surgical plan. This provides continuous visual feedback that enables the dental surgeon to maneuver the dental handpiece into precise alignment. During execution of the surgical procedure, the X-Guide® Surgical Navigation System correlates between the surgical plan and the surgeon's actual performance. If significant deviations in navigation between the plan and the system performance occur, the system will alert the user. Device accuracy has been evaluated for compliance with FDA recognized performance standard ASTM F2554- 18, Standard Practice for Measurement of Positional Accuracy of Computer Assisted Surgical Systems.

This aids in the surgeon drilling precision within a patient oral cavity. Since the system is video based, the surgeon is still working in the freehand mode, meaning he/she is always in control of the surgery. Several patient-specific calibrations underpin the guidance system. Hand Piece calibration is performed to determine the geometric relationship between the Hand Piece Tracker and the tip of the surgical instrument. 1555 Bustard Road, Suite #75, Lansdale, PA 19446 267-436-0420 www.X-NavTech.com {8} X-NAV TECHNOLOGIES ## Straight Cuts and ToolTrace The proposed change is a software change with associated physical component changes, described below: - Straight Cuts Planning and Navigation - ToolTrace Calibration and Visualization during Navigation ### Straight Cuts Planning Straight Cuts Planning allows the use of a new planning tool during planning. Straight Cuts Planning can be used to specify a straight cut between two defined points at a specific angle and depth. The planning screen allows for the practitioner to plan quadrilateral-shaped planning elements with a defined thickness. Multiple straight cuts can be added in sequential fashion using the Extend button. These defined lines can be used to define cuts during surgery for bone reduction (alveoloplasty) using a cutting instrument. The end user creates the plan using 'control rods' which define the endpoints of the cut. The endpoints are agnostic to which is the 'start' and which is the 'end.' Similarly to how single-trajectory points are currently defined in the X-Guide System, the Straight Cuts plan dimensions are controlled in the RxPanel, and affect the selected quadrilateral. ### Straight Cuts Navigation Straight Cuts Navigation allows the use of an alternative cutting guidance during navigated surgery. The trajectory visualization includes depth, position, and a cutting path to a user-defined endpoint. The visualization for this feature is similar to that of the existing single-trajectory user interface during navigation. The interface shows pitch, roll, yaw, x, y, z, and depth of the handpiece relative to the planned quadrilateral. - The depiction of pitch, roll, and yaw are identical between the single-trajectory interface and the Straight Cuts interface. - Depth is depicted as a fillable bar which stretches across the entire path from Control Rod to Control Rod. The depth is a function of the location along the path. - X, Y, and Z are still shown as the handpiece representation moving across the screen. Unlike single-trajectory navigation, the user is intended to follow the path from one Control Rod to the second Control Rod. ### ToolTrace Calibration ToolTrace is a new calibration method that can be used on cutting instruments with a variety of tip geometries (e.g., piezoelectric tips). The calibration involves identifying the tip location, cutting plane, and overall shape. These tool features are then displayed during navigated surgery to help the doctor align with the plan. 1555 Bustard Road, Suite #75, Lansdale, PA 19446 / 267-436-0420 / www.X-NavTech.com {9} NAV TECHNOLOGIES The process used to attach the Handpiece to the Handpiece Tracker is identical to the existing process for single-point burr ended handpieces. There are three components to calibration that must be performed: Tip Trace, Cutting Edge Trace, and Shape Trace. ## ToolTrace Visualization during Navigation An instrument calibrated using ToolTrace can be used in either a single-trajectory navigation, or in a Straight Cut navigation. The visualization appears differently compared to a shape-calibrated object, because the shape representation is customized to the user's specific tool. 1555 Bustard Road, Suite #75, Lansdale, PA 19446 / 267-436-0420 / www.X-NavTech.com {10} ![img-3.jpeg](img-3.jpeg) ## Additional EDX Bone Screw Dimensions To allow for tracking, physical components are sold with the X-Guide System, including Bone Screws. The Bone Screw is intended to be a transient, single use surgically invasive device. The Bone Screws are used to secure apparatus to the patient for mounting a tracking pattern, necessary for tracking patient positioning in space during surgical navigation. The Bone Screws are intended for use in adult and geriatric patient populations. The EDX Bone Screws are a titanium alloy self-drilling screws which are tapered and vary in diameters. The already released EDX Bone Screws have diameters of 2.7 mm and 3.2 mm with thread lengths of 7mm and stud lengths of 4 mm, 8 mm, and 16 mm. The smaller diameter EDX Bone Screws are typically placed to secure the EDX Tracker Arm. Should the bone be too soft resulting in a loose Bone Screw, a large diameter “rescue” EDX Bone Screw can be placed. All of the EDX Bone Screws and Caps are manufactured using a Ti6AL4V (Grade 5) alloy per ASTM F136 and adhere to the requirements of ASTM F543. There are no changes to this material. The Bone Screws are intended to be removed from the patient at the conclusion of the surgical procedure. The Bone Screws are single use devices, sold in a non-sterile state and intended to be sterilized by the end user prior to use. ## Proposed EDX Bone Screws | Individual Bone Screw Part Number | Individual Bone Screw Description | Packaged Part Number | Packaged Part Description | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | P011265 | Bone Screw, EDX, 2.7 mm Dia X 5 mm Thread, 4 mm Stud | P012325 | Bone Screw and Screw Cap, EDX - 2.7 Ø X 5 mm Thread, 4 mm Stud - 2ct | | P011266 | Bone Screw, EDX, 2.7 mm Dia X 5 mm Thread, 8 mm Stud | P012326 | Bone Screw and Screw Cap, EDX - 2.7 Ø X 5 mm Thread, 8 mm Stud - 2ct | | P011268 | Bone Screw, EDX, 3.2 mm Dia X 5 mm Thread, 4 mm Stud | P012327 | Bone Screw and Screw Cap, EDX - 3.2 Ø X 5 mm Thread, 4 mm Stud - 2ct | | P011269 | Bone Screw, EDX, 3.2 mm Dia X 5 mm Thread, 8 mm Stud | P012328 | Bone Screw and Screw Cap, EDX - 3.2 Ø X 5 mm Thread, 8 mm Stud - 2ct | | P011271 | Bone Screw, EDX, 2.0 mm Dia X 7 mm Thread, 4 mm Stud | P012329 | Bone Screw and Screw Cap, EDX - 2.0 Ø X 7 mm Thread, 4 mm Stud - 2ct | | P011272 | Bone Screw, EDX, 2.0 mm Dia X 7 mm Thread, 8 mm Stud | P012330 | Bone Screw and Screw Cap, EDX - 2.0 Ø X 7 mm Thread, 8 mm Stud - 2ct | | P011693 | Bone Screw, EDX, 2.0 mm Dia X 11 mm Thread, 4 mm Stud | P012331 | Bone Screw and Screw Cap, EDX - 2.0 Ø X 11 mm Thread, 4 mm Stud - 2ct | | P011694 | Bone Screw, EDX, 2.0 mm Dia X 11 mm Thread, 8 mm Stud | P012332 | Bone Screw and Screw Cap, EDX - 2.0 Ø X 11 mm Thread, 8 mm Stud - 2ct | | P011696 | Bone Screw, EDX, 2.0 mm Dia X 15 mm Thread, 4 mm Stud | P012333 | Bone Screw and Screw Cap, EDX - 2.0 Ø X 15 mm Thread, 4 mm Stud - 2ct | | P011697 | Bone Screw, EDX, 2.0 mm Dia X 15 mm Thread, 8 mm Stud | P012334 | Bone Screw and Screw Cap, EDX - 2.0 Ø X 15 mm Thread, 8 mm Stud - 2ct | | P012126 | Bone Screw, EDX, 2.7 mm Dia X 11 mm Thread, 4 mm Stud | P012335 | Bone Screw and Screw Cap, EDX - 2.7 Ø X 11 mm Thread, 4 mm Stud - 2ct | | P012127 | Bone Screw, EDX, 2.7 mm Dia X 11 mm Thread, 8 mm Stud | P012336 | Bone Screw and Screw Cap, EDX - 2.7 Ø X 11 mm Thread, 8 mm Stud - 2ct | | P012128 | Bone Screw, EDX, 2.7 mm Dia X 15 mm Thread, 4 mm Stud | P012337 | Bone Screw and Screw Cap, EDX - 2.7 Ø X 15 mm Thread, 4 mm Stud - 2ct | | P012129 | Bone Screw, EDX, 2.7 mm Dia X 15 mm Thread, 8 mm Stud | P012338 | Bone Screw and Screw Cap, EDX - 2.7 Ø X 15 mm Thread, 8 mm Stud - 2ct | 1555 Bustard Road, Suite #75, Lansdale, PA 19446 / 267-436-0420 / www.X-NavTech.com {11} X-NAV TECHNOLOGIES ## Proposed Labeling Changes – Removal of Contraindications X-Nav is removing the contraindications for zygoma implants and pterygoid implants based on literature showing that the use of X-Guide and similar navigation systems with optical tracking provide similar surgical support and drilling accuracy as conventional implants when used for placement of these longer implant types. 1555 Bustard Road, Suite #75, Lansdale, PA 19446 / 267-436-0420 / www.X-NavTech.com {12} X-NAV TECHNOLOGIES ## Indications for Use The X-Guide® Surgical Navigation System is a computerized navigational system intended to provide assistance in both the preoperative planning phase and the intra-operative surgical phase of dental implantation procedures and/or endodontic access procedures.

The combined testing and analysis of results provides assurance that the device performs as intended. | Verification/Validation Type | Description | | --- | --- | | Bone Screw Mechanical Stability Test | This verification test demonstrates that the small length EDX Bone Screw thread is stable in a bone model, and deflection remains within requirements when attached to a weighted Tracker Arm. | | ASTM F543 Annex A2 | This verification test demonstrates that, for the worst case EDX Bone screw, the maximum insertion and removal torque is ≤50% of the screw torsional yield strength. | ## Supporting Literature An ex-vivo (cadaver) study was performed at the system level and confirms comparable accuracy in placement of zygomatic implants to conventional length implants using the X-Guide® System. Supporting literature from the secondary predicate device (NaviDent) was also used examining the accuracy of placement of pterygoid and zygomatic implants comparing free-hand placement and navigated placement in patients receiving full-arch restorative plans. | Study Title | Description | | --- | --- | | The Use of Dynamic Navigation for the Placement of Zygoma Implants: A Cadaver Study to Compare Accuracy | This study demonstrates that dental surgeons can effectively perform zygoma implant procedures with the X-Guide. The test method compared dynamically navigated zygoma implant surgeries and freehanded zygoma implant surgeries in cadavers. The presurgical CBCT plan was compared to the navigated or freehanded trajectories in the post-operative CBCT. Both linear deviation and angular deviation were compared between the two experimental groups. The linear deviation and angular deviation in dynamically navigated zygoma implants were found to be better than freehand. The method assessing implant placement used in this study is well-established. It is the same as the method used in the predicate devices' 510(k) submissions, and involves a superimposition of the plan to the post-operative CT scan. | | Navigated Flapless Placement of Zygomatic Implants: A Randomized Controlled Trial | This randomized controlled trial evaluated 20 patients receiving zygomatic implants using dynamic navigation with the NaviDent system, comparing a flapless approach to the conventional flapped technique. The flapless technique allowed implant placement under local anesthesia without raising a mucoperiosteal flap, relying on real-time navigation to guide implant positioning and sinus membrane elevation. Implant survival was high in both groups, with only one implant failure among 40 zygomatic implants placed. The failure rate is consistent with previously published systematic reviews of zygomatic implant failure rates. Rates of sinus complications and | 1555 Bustard Road, Suite #75, Lansdale, PA 19446 267-436-0420 www.X-NavTech.com {20} X-NAV TECHNOLOGIES | | osseointegration were comparable between groups, and no postoperative neurosensory deficits were detected. | | --- | --- | | Comparative Evaluation of the Accuracy of Dynamic Navigation and Free Hand Methods During Zygomatic Implant Placement A Randomized Controlled Trial | The study provides published clinical evidence supports the use of dynamic navigation for zygomatic implant placement. In a randomized controlled clinical trial involving 40 zygomatic implants placed in patients with atrophic maxillae, dynamic navigation demonstrated significantly improved placement accuracy compared to freehand surgery at the implant entry point, apex, and angular position. Procedures were completed using the NaviDent system and dynamic navigation was compared to conventional flapped placement. | | Accuracy of Dynamic Navigation Surgery in the Placement of Pterygoid Implants | The study provides published clinical evidence demonstrates successful use of implant navigation for pterygoid implant placement in a prospective randomized clinical trial involving 63 pterygoid implants in 39 patients using the NaviDent system and a split mouth protocol when available. The study concluded that pterygoid implant surgery is a predictable and successful treatment modality for placement of steep implant angulation and that dynamic navigation significantly improved placement accuracy compared to free-hand surgery, including accuracy relative to critical anatomical structures. | ## Risk Analysis A Product Risk Analysis was conducted in accordance with ISO 14971 to review the following elements specific to the change: - The risks associated with the use, usability and performance of the device - the risks associated with and specific to the software design aspects of the device - the risks associated with software functionality and software interaction with the user - The risks associated with the new length EDX Bone Screws - The risks associated with navigating zygoma and pterygoid implants. Results were updated in the X-Guide Risk Analysis. ## Conclusions Based upon the information provided within this 510(k) Premarket Notification, we conclude that the X-Guide® Surgical Navigation System with Straight Cuts and ToolTrace, alongside removed contraindications, is substantially equivalent to the identified predicate device. 1555 Bustard Road, Suite #75, Lansdale, PA 19446 / 267-436-0420 / www.X-NavTech.com --- **Source:** [https://fda-staging.innolitics.com/device/K253954](https://fda-staging.innolitics.com/device/K253954) **Published by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com)** — a medical-device software consultancy.
