Long Description

Dental AI software is a type of application that leverages machine learning and deep learning to interpret dental images such as bitewings, periapicals, and panoramic X-rays. It can detect signs of caries, bone loss, infections, and more.

This software provides real-time feedback, often highlighting areas of concern directly on the image, and may generate clinical notes, reports, or treatment recommendations. It serves as a clinical assistant to help ensure nothing is missed.

Dental AI software is typically used alongside imaging platforms or embedded within digital radiography systems, improving diagnostic efficiency, patient trust, and treatment acceptance through visual explanation.
