AI for Dental X-Rays

1 00:00:04.560 --> 00:00:05.700 At 38th Street Dental, 2 00:00:05.701 --> 00:00:07.700 we're using AI-powered X-rays 3 00:00:07.701 --> 00:00:10.957 as a special type of our diagnosis and treatment planning. 4 00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:14.659 That allows us to use artificial intelligence 5 00:00:14.786 --> 00:00:17.857 to make earlier and more accurate detections of your disease. 6 00:00:18.690 --> 00:00:22.100 Seen here is the Pearl AI interface, 7 00:00:22.101 --> 00:00:26.014 and it's an X-ray picture of my front teeth. 8 00:00:26.729 --> 00:00:29.843 And what we can see here are the bone level measurements, 9 00:00:30.071 --> 00:00:32.629 and I'm lucky enough not to have any decay. 10 00:00:33.014 --> 00:00:36.886 Here's another X-ray picture that we took recently at 38th Street Dental. 11 00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:40.814 The little pink area is a place where a cavity has been detected, 12 00:00:41.290 --> 00:00:44.157 'caries' is the doctor talk word for it. 13 00:00:44.680 --> 00:00:47.129 And you can see here that the AI program 14 00:00:47.130 --> 00:00:51.272 has shown us that the caries are 52% of the way into the dentin 15 00:00:51.273 --> 00:00:52.586 and through the enamel. 16 00:00:53.410 --> 00:00:55.743 That, of course, is an indication for treatment. 17 00:00:57.200 --> 00:00:59.700 Here's another example of Pearl AI at work. 18 00:00:59.930 --> 00:01:01.543 This is a bitewing radiograph 19 00:01:01.544 --> 00:01:02.857 taken on my dad. 20 00:01:03.457 --> 00:01:08.600 And you can see that we had a place here that was limited to enamel or cementum 21 00:01:09.043 --> 00:01:10.786 that may or may not need treatment. 22 00:01:11.080 --> 00:01:13.200 And here up on his first bicuspid, 23 00:01:13.201 --> 00:01:16.771 another place that appears to be limited 100% to enamel. 24 00:01:17.543 --> 00:01:20.029 These are two places that, of course, I checked, 25 00:01:20.057 --> 00:01:23.956 but due to the limited nature of what I found, 26 00:01:23.957 --> 00:01:26.143 we didn't feel like treatment was necessary. 27 00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:29.243 This is one of the great benefits of early detection, 28 00:01:29.244 --> 00:01:32.114 is that it allows detection and monitoring moving forward 29 00:01:32.115 --> 00:01:33.671 so that we don't have surprises 30 00:01:33.672 --> 00:01:35.885 and we can intervene at the appropriate time. 31 00:01:36.210 --> 00:01:39.457 Here's another example of AI at work at 38th Street Dental. 32 00:01:39.471 --> 00:01:40.871 This particular patient 33 00:01:42.290 --> 00:01:45.329 was shown to have tartar on the sides of the root, 34 00:01:46.600 --> 00:01:48.847 an area of questionable demineralization 35 00:01:48.848 --> 00:01:50.420 on the mesial of this tooth, 36 00:01:50.421 --> 00:01:54.957 and another area on the back end, although it's limited 100% to the enamel. 37 00:01:55.414 --> 00:01:58.214 What was very interesting with this X-ray picture though, 38 00:01:58.215 --> 00:02:02.914 is that the AI picked up the presence of tartar on the sides of the teeth 39 00:02:02.915 --> 00:02:04.943 and it provided for us bone levels 40 00:02:05.343 --> 00:02:09.743 to make judgment on what type of periodontal service this patient needed. 41 00:02:10.330 --> 00:02:13.386 Overall, AI X-rays are transforming the way 42 00:02:13.387 --> 00:02:16.171 that we care for patients in our diagnosis. 43 00:02:16.730 --> 00:02:22.450 Greater accuracy, greater speed, and greater repeatability in diagnosis are 44 00:02:22.480 --> 00:02:27.443 what we'll both benefit from as we deploy this technology at 38th Street Dental. 45 00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:30.243 So if you're looking for the best in diagnosis 46 00:02:30.244 --> 00:02:31.000 give us a call, 47 00:02:31.481 --> 00:02:34.086 and we'll run your radiographs through Pearl AI.
