Diagnocat

DGNCT, LLC

Diagnocat software is a radiological, automated, concurrent read computer-assisted detection software intended to aid in the detection of periapical radiolucency on permanent teeth captured on maxillofacial Cone Beam CT images, using scans that were previously acquired for clinically justified purposes independent of Diagnocat. Diagnocat may be used only when a dental professional has independently determined that CBCT imaging is necessary for further evaluation of the patient. The device provides additional aid for the dental professional to use in their identification of periapical radiolucency. The device is not intended as a replacement for a complete dental professional's review or their clinical judgment that considers other relevant information from the patient or other images or patient history. The system is to be used by professionally trained and licensed dental professionals with the appropriate knowledge and training to interpret maxillofacial CBCT images, including at least two years of clinical experience reading and assessing CBCT scans. Diagnocat is indicated for use by dental professionals for the second-read of CBCT radiographs of permanent teeth in patients 22 years of age or older.

Evidence status: each field shows source quality, applicability, and review date. Research pending, information not established in reviewed sources, and vendor documentation pending are distinct outcomes.

Conservative normalization of explicit wording in an exact-submission source.

Required input
CT images or data. Inclusion criteria: Maxillofacial Cone Beam CT (CBCT) images of permanent teeth in patients 22 years of age or older, previously acquired for clinically justified purposes

Conservative normalization of explicit wording in an exact-submission source.

Output and human action
The AI model outputs: (1) Panoramic reconstruction visualization of the CBCT scan; (2) Tooth detection, numbering, and segmentation; (3) Detection and localization of periapical radiolucency per tooth with segmentation and heat mapping of suspected periapical radiolucency regions. The device provides a concurrent read CADe output to aid dental professionals in identifying periapical radiolucency.

Security and privacy
Vendor documentation pending
Vendor confirmation Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-08-13

FDA authorization does not establish the current commercial security posture. Request data-flow diagrams, hosting and retention details, access controls, audit logging, attestations, and incident-response documentation.

Training and support
Vendor documentation pending
Vendor confirmation Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-08-13

Training, onboarding, competency, and support commitments are commercial implementation details that require current vendor documentation.

Monitoring and change control
Vendor documentation pending
Vendor confirmation Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-08-13

Local acceptance testing, production monitoring, drift review, update control, and incident escalation require a current vendor and site-specific governance plan.

Candidates require human product and version matching; zero candidates is not evidence that no studies exist. Native FDA recall identifiers produced 0 postmarket candidate records; 0 have been reviewed (0 published, 0 rejected) and 0 remain unreviewed.

Candidate leads remain unpublished until a human confirms the exact product and tested version.
