Planet DDS and Pearl have teamed up to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) directly into the Apteryx XVWeb Cloud imaging system. Apteryx combines imaging software and a dental practice management solution to optimize digital workflows in the dental practice, and this integration will add the new benefit of AI.

Pearl’s FDA-approved AI provides visual support for clinicians while they review x-rays, including bitewing and periapical. Through its advanced technology, Pearl’s Second Opinion is said to be able to detect pathologies and other conditions, enabling clinicians to get a better look at any oral issues of concern that either are occurring or will occur with the patient. Second Opinion is also designed to focus on the patient-first, making treatment planning and case acceptance smoother.

“We founded Pearl to radically improve the accuracy, objectivity, and efficiency of dental medicine with the transformative power of artificial intelligence,” CEO of Pearl Ophir Tanz says in a press release from the companies. “We are excited to partner with Planet DDS to broadly expand the use and positive impact of AI technology.”

Second Opinion will now integrate directly into Apteryx XVWeb, which manages all of the digital images in the dental practice, making it easier than ever to optimize digital imaging workflows. Per the press release, this direct integration boosts patient case acceptance in a way that does not require significant changes to practice workflow

“Driving positive outcomes for dental practices is core to our mission at Planet DDS and we are excited to integrate Pearl’s AI technology with our cloud-based dental software platform,” CEO of Planet DDS, Eric Giesecke says in the press release. “Combining cloud and AI technologies will help practices optimize their operations while offering their patients more transparency and confidence in diagnosis and treatment planning.”
