[AI-Assisted Diagnosis]

PARL Assist

Dental artificial intelligence (AI) company Overjet has announced FDA 501(k) clearance for its groundbreaking Periapical Radiolucency (PARL) Assist device. PARL Assist is designed to aid dentists by identifying and segmenting instances of PARL on periapical radiographs. With this recent clearance, Overjet secures its position as the first and only Dental AI provider capable of detecting and outlining instances of PARL on periapical radiographs for patients ages 12 and above. In the development of PARL Assist, Overjet harnessed substantial clinical expertise, rigorous testing, and validation, according to the company. Expert clinicians annotated tens of thousands of clinically validated instances of periapical radiolucencies across a diverse range of clinical scenarios to train Overjet's algorithms. The reference standard testing set, establishing the quality bar for its AI, was meticulously created with multi-consensus agreement by expert US licensed endodontists, the company states. Overjet's PARL Assist product will identify and alert clinicians in various clinical scenarios, building on pre-existing clearances. Two illustrative scenarios include explicitly calling out teeth with carious lesions extending into the pulp alongside a PARL lesion and flagging teeth with pre-existing root canal therapy that potentially has unresolved PARL, prompting the clinician to investigate and test clinically. Aligned with its past major FDA-cleared solutions, Overjet collaborated closely with practicing dentists and its in-house clinical team of over 10 clinicians during the development of PARL Assist. In the coming weeks, Overjet plans to release the functionality for all its customers as a standard component in its Clinical Intelligence Platform.
