Overjet, the leader in dental AI for providers and payers, received a Medical Device Establishment License (MDEL) from Health Canada for its innovative X-ray analysis technology.
BOSTON, MA: Overjet, the dental industry leader in artificial intelligence solutions, announced today it’s expanding into Canada. The company received a Medical Device Establishment License (MDEL) from Health Canada for its AI-powered radiograph analysis and annotation software designed to help dentists offer more comprehensive care.
Overjet is collaborating with several of Canada’s largest dental groups, insurers, and product distribution companies to implement the AI technology. The software analyses dental X-rays in real time to detect cavities and calculus, as well as identify restorations, root canals, and other prior treatments. It also quantifies bone loss to aid in the diagnosis of periodontal disease, a common gum infection that causes the bone and tissue supporting teeth to deteriorate.
The objective analysis helps dentists know where to take a deeper look so they can provide comprehensive patient care. The software also reviews the past 18 months of X-rays of every patient in the practice and cross-references with the treatment plans on file to identify patients with potentially undiagnosed conditions.
“Canada is one of the leading countries in AI and technology adaptation, and we look forward to bringing Overjet to Canada to enhance oral health,” said Wardah Inam, PhD, the CEO and co-founder of Overjet.
“We look forward to working with our Canadian partners to create a future that is clinically-precise, efficient, and patient-centric.”
