NEWPORT BEACH, CA<\/span><\/b> \u2013 August 3, 2023 \u2013<\/span><\/b> Planet DDS<\/span><\/a>, the leading provider of cloud-based dental software, today announced a partnership with <\/span>Pearl<\/span><\/a>, among the industry\u2019s most advanced radiologic AI software providers, to integrate Pearl\u2019s AI technology into its <\/span>Apteryx XVWeb Cloud Imaging<\/span><\/a>\u202fsoftware and all-in-one <\/span>dental practice management solution<\/span><\/a>,\u202fDenticon. The newly integrated solution will provide real-time, chairside decision support to dentists as they review X-ray images with patients, increasing confidence in clinical decisions, promoting proactive and preventative care, and enhancing dentist-patient relationships.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite a dentist\u2019s desire to deliver the best possible care, there are challenges existing today in dentistry that can be mitigated with the help of AI. These include the evaluation of a patient\u2019s X-rays. According to one study, 43% of caries in dental X-rays are undiagnosed and 20% of caries diagnosed in patients are not actually caries.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When patients doubt the accuracy of a diagnosis, they will often delay or avoid completion of important care. In a recent survey of 600 dental patients, a majority reported that they had on one or more occasions refused treatment (19%), sought a second opinion (25%) or switched dentists (32%) after receiving a radiologic diagnosis. Increasing the accuracy of diagnoses through visual support helps patients feel more confident when deciding to invest in their oral health.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With Pearl\u2019s AI technology integrated into Apteryx XVWeb Cloud Imaging and Denticon Practice Management, these challenges are mitigated within the existing workflow without any need to log into a separate solution. Using the combined solution, practices have seen a marked improvement in diagnostic accuracy and patient experience:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
