Carestream partners Overjet to tap AI tool

Carestream Dental announced that it is partnering with dental AI solutions provider Overjet.

According to a press release from Carestream Dental, the partnership paves the way for the company’s customers to gain access to Overjet’s AI-powered X-ray analysis tool.

Overjet’s FDA-approved technology is able to detect decay, quantify bone loss and highlight other areas of concern. It can purportedly analyse 18 months of prior radiographs and cross-reference them with an office’s practice management system to identify potential decay and periodontal disease that has not been diagnosed.

According to Carestream, the AI technology streamlines the diagnostic process for practitioners, as compared to traditional methods that misdiagnose diseased teeth nearly a quarter of the time*.

Tapping growth of AI diagnostics

“We’re seeing an increase in AI in every part of the industry, which is giving clinicians greater confidence in their diagnosis and treatment planning,” said Jeremy Thomas, general manager of the Americas for Carestream Dental.

“Now, Carestream Dental imaging customers will experience a new level of confidence and quantification with access to Overjet’s AI analysis tool.”

“With this partnership, thousands of more dentists will have AI technology at their fingertips to help improve patient care,” said Wardah Inam, co-founder and CEO of Overjet.

“Overjet is committed to improving oral health by creating a future that is clinically-precise, efficient and patient centric.”
