Planet DDS and Overjet recently announced a partnership, incorporating AI capability into Apteryx XVWeb Cloud Imaging software and the all-in-one practice management solution Denticon.
Apteryx XVWeb is a cloud-based dental imaging solution that allows practices to store, view and optimize clinical images for treatment planning and is designed to work with most imaging devices and practice management solutions, according to the company. This new integration will provide real-time decision support to dentists as they review x-ray images with patients, increasing confidence in their clinical decisions, promoting proactive and preventative care, and enhancing provider-patient relationships.
Overjet’s AI solution analyzes and annotates radiographs in real-time, detecting and outlining decay in color to help dentists and patients see even small cavities. It also quantifies bone loss, which is often an indicator of periodontal disease.
Overjet reviews and analyzes 18 months of radiographs from previous appointments and cross-references the clinical findings with information in the practice management system. With Overjet’s AI technology integrated into Apteryx XVWeb software, dentists and patients can gain meaningful insights from x-rays and focus their attention on areas of concern.
“Dental AI adds markups to Apteryx XVWeb images to help dentists determine optimal care and enhance patient communication,” said Wardah Inam, co-founder and CEO of Overjet, according to the release. “The AI opportunity across the dental sector is substantial as many practitioners are just now becoming familiar with the power of the advanced technology to enhance diagnostic decisions, care delivery, operations and patient loyalty.”
