VideaHealth, a medical technology company in Boston, has created a dental AI platform available to 90% of U.S. dental practices. Here's what its CEO, plus a dentist, say of the tool.
Hillen said he sees AI as"the great equalizer" in that it can provide an unbiased, data-driven analysis that the dentist and patient can review and discuss together.
"AI is essential for practitioners because it is unbiased, and it provides us with the opportunity to identify lesions that we might miss without it." When they viewed those same images again with VideaAI, they found nearly 20% more cavities, Scialabba said."The common misconception is that dentists overdiagnose, but this is not accurate," Scialabba said. Rather, he said, dentists"are conservative, and underdiagnosis is the bigger issue. VideaAI can help us see issues before they are visible to the naked eye, so we can offer recommendations and stave off bigger issues.
"Patients now have an unbiased and data-backed understanding of their X-rays and diagnosis," he said."AI takes out the emotion and bias for both the dentist and the patient, and provides a straightforward way to talk about treatment plans using just the facts."He added,"This approach puts more control into the hands of patients, so they can make the smartest and most meaningful decision for their oral care.

Civil rights icon James Meredith, 90, falls at Mississippi event but has no visible injuriesCivil rights icon James Meredith fell outside the Mississippi Capitol at an event marking his 90th birthday. He suffered no visible injuries. Meredith tumbled forward onto a portable lectern Sunday as he stood to speak to some 200 people. Those around him scrambled to help him into a wheelchair. An ambulance crew checked Meredith afterward before he left with friends and family. A person close to the family said hours later that Meredith was doing better and resting at home. White mobs rioted in 1962 when Meredith enrolled as the first Black student at the University of Mississippi. In 1966, Meredith set out to promote Black voting rights and prove a Black man could walk through Mississippi without fear. A white man shot and wounded him on the second day.
