Velmeni for Dentists (V4D) Endo-Perio

Velmeni, Inc.

Authorized purpose: Concurrent-read CADe to assist dentists in detecting specified tooth and jaw anatomy, bone-level landmarks, and root-canal-treated teeth in digital radiographs of permanent teeth in patients 15 years or older.

Evidence status: each field states its source quality, applicability, and review date. Research pending, information not established, and vendor documentation pending remain distinct outcomes.

Clinical role: Concurrent-read CADe to assist dentists in detecting specified tooth and jaw anatomy, bone-level landmarks, and root-canal-treated teeth in digital radiographs of permanent teeth in patients 15 years or older.

Evidence takeaway

Evidence from the reviewed source record: FDA software verification/validation passed. Standalone testing used bitewing data from 128 patients/272 images/1,791 teeth, periapical data from 137 patients/271 images/1,213 teeth, panoramic data from 245 patients/248 images/496 sides, and 137 root-canal images; ground truth used three US-licensed dentists plus a US-licensed dental radiologist adjudicator. Tooth sensitivity in the reported primary tables ranged from 94.4% to 100.0% for bitewing and 96.2% to 99.8% for periapical anatomy; jaw-feature sensitivity was 99.8% for mandibular canal, 81.5% for mental foramen, and 99.8% for maxillary sinus. Bone-level absolute-error means were 0.25/0.27 mm for bitewing distal/mesial and 0.44/0.47 mm for periapical distal/mesial measures.
