“Pearl has been dentistry’s AI-powered radiologic pathology detection and case presentation leader since we received FDA clearance in 2022––and, as adoption accelerates, it has become increasingly clear just how much our underlying data sets can benefit other areas of dentistry,” said Ophir Tanz, Pearl founder and chief executive officer. “Facilitating radiologic training and clinical alignment across the category—from care providers to educators and researchers, and from DSOs to payors—Calibrate extends our commitment to driving better outcomes for patients and enhancing trust in our industry.”

Key Benefits of Calibrate for Dental Professionals

For all dental professionals, Calibrate’s benefits include:

  • Standardizing clinical performance across teams: Calibrate dentists on pathology detection performance, ensuring consistency in diagnosis and treatment planning across large clinics and groups.
  • Reducing liability and strengthening patient care: Demonstrate that all clinicians meet a standardized clinical threshold to minimize risk and enhance patient care, creating a safer, more reliable brand experience.
  • Improving x-ray capture quality: Evaluate x-ray quality and identify variance in image quality across the organization to facilitate staff training on taking the most diagnostically useful images possible.
  • Supporting dental education and accreditation: Academic institutions can ensure that faculty meet accreditation requirements, train students in AI-aided pathology detection, and support radiologic research.
  • Enhancing recruitment and validation of candidates: Assess candidates’ clinical skills during the hiring process to ensure that new hires align with the organization’s diagnostic standards.

“Dentistry has traditionally been seen as a fairly subjective practice and Calibrate helps to change that perception,” said Tanz. “By elevating the standards against which care is provided, students are measured, and claims are adjudicated, Pearl is advancing its mission to foster clinical excellence, patient trust, and ongoing industry growth.”
