EARLY ACCESS ONLY
You can use artificial intelligence to detect possible caries, calculus, periapical radiolucency (PRL), and notable margins on intraoral X-ray images in Dentrix Ascend Imaging. This functionality requires the purchase of Pearl AI licenses.
Automatic Submission for Analysis
After you acquire a single-image exam (such as one bitewing) or the last image in a multi-image exam (such as a full-mouth series), when the image for the exam or the first image of the exam is loaded in the viewing area, the image is submitted automatically for analysis.
When you view any image in an exam, the image is submitted automatically for analysis.
