Dentsply Sirona and Pearl have integrated their platforms to deliver AI-assisted support for 2D X-rays via DS Core and Second Opinion.


Dentsply Sirona and Pearl have partnered to integrate AI-assisted radiologic support into DS Core, the dental manufacturer’s cloud-based platform. The collaboration connects DS Core with Second Opinion, Pearl’s chairside dental AI software, to enhance the interpretation of 2D X-rays and assist in patient communication.

AI Support for Radiologic Interpretation

The integration enables the automatic transfer of 2D X-ray data from DS Core to Second Opinion. Pearl’s software applies AI to help clinicians identify anatomical structures and detect signs of early-stage cavities or bone loss. The tool supplements the dental professional’s clinical evaluation and provides visualizations with automated annotations and measurements to assist with patient education and treatment planning.

“This collaboration with Dentsply Sirona brings our vision of accessible, trustworthy dental AI to an even broader global audience,” said Ophir Tanz, CEO of Pearl. “By embedding Second Opinion directly into DS Core, we’re giving clinicians seamless access to AI insights that strengthen their diagnostic confidence, improve patient communication, and ultimately elevate the standard of care across every practice.”

DS Core API Enables Integration

The integration uses Dentsply Sirona’s new DS Core API, which allows external providers to connect their software with the DS Core platform. The API is designed to support third-party developers, practice management systems, labs, and DSOs in building integrated workflows.

“Our goal is to foster an open, collaborative ecosystem where innovation thrives. With its open architecture, DS Core empowers partners and developers to build integrated solutions that streamline diagnosis, enhance patient outcomes, and optimize clinical workflows,” said Max Milz, group VP of connected technology solutions at Dentsply Sirona. “Following the launch of our own AI-powered 3D X-ray capabilities on DS Core, this integration marks another important step toward making advanced diagnostics more accessible and connected—underscoring our commitment to seamless workflows and better care through shared progress.”
