Overjet, a leading dental AI company, has launched a groundbreaking educational tool designed to train the next generation of oral health professionals.

Several innovative dental schools have already incorporated Overjet for Educators into their curriculum, including the Western University College of Dental Medicine and the University of Florida College of Dentistry. The impact of this technology on student learning has been remarkable, with an independent study at the University of Florida revealing that students who trained using Overjet’s AI improved their cavity detection skills by over 40%.

Our collaboration with Overjet presents a very unique and valuable advantage for our predoctoral students and residents to be on the leading edge of technology.”

Enhanced Visualization and Patient Communication

Overjet for Educators offers students the ability to visualize precise, colorful annotations of oral structures and pathologies on X-rays. This feature not only aids in learning but also prepares students for effective patient communication in their future practices.

Dr. Elizabeth Andrews, Dean of the WesternU College of Dental Medicine, highlighted the benefits of the partnership: “It enhances the learning experience for our students by providing them with clear visualizations that will help them better understand the structure and characteristics of the mouth, empowering them to communicate more confidently and effectively with their patients as they become practice ready.”

Positive Reception and Future Implications

The initial response to Overjet for Educators has been overwhelmingly positive. Dr. Teresa Dolan, Chief Dental Officer at Overjet, noted, “Students and residents are excited to use the technology to both accelerate their education and provide incredible care for their patients—today and into the future.”

As dental education continues to evolve, the integration of AI technology like Overjet for Educators promises to shape a new generation of dental professionals equipped with advanced diagnostic skills and improved patient care capabilities.
