The Challenge

A regional dental group with 15 locations was struggling with inconsistent diagnostic accuracy and time-consuming X-ray analysis. Their challenges included:

  • Variability in cavity detection accuracy between dentists (ranging from 75% to 92%)
  • Average 8-12 minutes per X-ray review, limiting patient throughput
  • Missed early-stage cavities leading to more invasive treatments later
  • Difficulty detecting subtle bone loss and periodontal issues
  • High inter-dentist variability in treatment recommendations

These issues resulted in delayed diagnoses, inconsistent patient care, and reduced practice efficiency across their network.

Our Solution

AI-Powered X-Ray Analysis

We developed a deep learning system trained on over 50,000 annotated dental X-rays that automatically detects cavities, bone loss, impacted teeth, and other abnormalities. The system provides real-time analysis with 96% accuracy, highlighting areas of concern with color-coded overlays.

AI-powered dental X-ray analysis system

Early Detection System

The AI identifies early-stage cavities and bone loss that might be missed in manual review. It provides confidence scores and recommends follow-up actions, helping dentists catch issues before they require extensive treatment.
