FDA-cleared profile

DTX Studio Clinic (4.0)

Nobel Biocare AB

Acquire, manage, transfer, analyze, display, enhance, store, and communicate dental and craniomaxillofacial image information for diagnosis and treatment planning, restorative design input, and guided implant-surgery support; its CADe function identifies and localizes specified dental findings during concurrent dentist review of bitewing and periapical radiographs of permanent teeth in patients aged 15 years and 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.

Clinical fit

What this tool is for

Start with the authorized purpose, then verify how it fits your service line and reading workflow.

Exact purpose
Acquire, manage, transfer, analyze, display, enhance, store, and communicate dental and craniomaxillofacial image information for diagnosis and treatment planning, restorative design input, and guided implant-surgery support; its CADe function identifies and localizes specified dental findings during concurrent dentist review of bitewing and periapical radiographs of permanent teeth in patients aged 15 years and older.
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-08
Intended users
Dentists for the CADe function; dental and craniomaxillofacial practitioners for image management, diagnosis/treatment planning, and guided implant workflows
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-08
Care setting and population
Dental or clinical imaging environment; the FDA packet does not specify a single facility type
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-08
Workflow role
Concurrent CADe support during dentist review plus dental/craniomaxillofacial image management, treatment planning, and guided implant-surgery support; detected focus areas require user approval before conversion to diagnostic findings.
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-08
Required input
For CADe, 2D intraoral bitewing and periapical radiographs of permanent teeth in patients aged 15 years or older. The broader software also handles 2D and 3D dental/craniomaxillofacial data from intraoral and extraoral X-rays, CBCT scanners, intraoral scanners, and intraoral or extraoral cameras, including surface-scan files.
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-08
Output and human action
A message indicating whether and how many dental findings are detected, togglable bounding boxes around suspected findings, enhanced and managed dental/craniofacial images, exported guided-implant results, and a digital surgical template .stl file from an implant plan; detected focus areas can become diagnostic findings only after user approval.
FDA source Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-08
Limitations
CADe is for concurrent review by dentists and is not autonomous interpretation; the user must approve detected focus areas before they are converted to diagnostic findings. The CADe radiograph scope is permanent teeth and patients aged 15 years or older, and the listed findings have defined detection boundaries such as exclusion of occlusal secondary caries under fillings. Guided implant and restorative functions support external workflows and do not constitute autonomous treatment decisions or restoration design within the software.

FDA record and catalog context

The FDA listing establishes the regulatory identity. It does not by itself establish local workflow fit, pricing, security, or performance in your environment.

Implementation

Questions for IT, informatics, and operations

Use these fields to structure a vendor demo, security review, and implementation estimate.

Integration
The FDA packet describes image acquisition, management, storage, transfer across computer systems, export of guided-surgery results, and import/export of surface data including .STL/.PLY in the broader workflow. It does not establish a specific current PACS, RIS, EHR, interface version, or deployment configuration.

Security and privacy
Vendor documentation pending
Vendor confirmation Exact FDA submission Checked 2026-09-08

Exact-release security controls, data retention, hosting boundaries, and scoped assurance documentation require vendor confirmation.

Evidence

Performance evidence

Metrics are shown only when they are tied to a source, endpoint, population, and tested product version.

Evidence summary
FDA K231898 describes software verification and validation rather than clinical-outcome testing. Comparative testing against the Focus Area Detection predicate K221921 showed that detection executed for each intraoral X-ray image, with the same number of focus areas and identical detected bounding boxes, meeting the acceptance criteria. Testing of the digital surgical template output against DTX Studio Implant predicate K163122 showed the same fitting surface and sleeve-hole design for the same implant-plan parameters. No clinical data are included in the packet.

Postmarket record

Recall and adverse-event records are shown only after product matching. Adverse-event reports do not establish incidence or causality.

Postmarket safety review
The exact-identifier FDA recall query returned no native recall record for K231898. This limited result does not establish absence of recalls or other safety information and does not cover later versions, family records, MAUDE reports, corrections, or field notices.

Exact-submission ACR model-card fields were normalized under the current provenance rules; vendor and independent-study confirmation remain distinct. Exact FDA scope controls clinical claims. ACR provides bounded exact-submission catalog context. Candidate literature metadata remains a discovery queue until full-text identity, endpoint, population, and version review is completed. Automated exact-name discovery found 0 PubMed and 0 ClinicalTrials.gov candidate records. 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.
