DS Core Detect

Dentsply Sirona, Inc.

Concurrent-read incidental detection of permanent teeth that may be associated with periapical radiolucencies in CBCT data acquired for other reasons.

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

Evidence

Performance evidence

Metrics are shown only when they are tied to a source, endpoint, population, and tested product version. Candidate literature without exact product and version linkage is not shown as product evidence.

Evidence summary
FDA testing included standalone and fully crossed MRMC studies. The representative standalone study used 306 CBCTs; high-sensitivity operating-point results were sensitivity 0.78 (95% CI 0.74-0.81) and specificity 0.93 (0.92-0.94), while standard-sensitivity results were 0.66 (0.62-0.70) and 0.97 (0.97-0.98). The MRMC study used 11 US readers and reports unaided/aided model-based AUC 0.415/0.639, tooth-level sensitivity 0.421/0.649, and specificity 0.962/0.946. The FDA ground truth was a consensus reference for the standalone study and reader performance was evaluated separately.

Safety and lifecycle

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 K253009. 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Candidate leads remain unpublished until a human confirms the exact product and tested version.
