Does Dentally Vision AI make a diagnosis?

No. Think of Dentally Vision AI as you radiology assistant, It simply aids you in making your decisions.

It is NOT intended for use as a diagnostic device and all decisions are still left in the hands of appropriately trained and licensed dental healthcare professionals.

Is Dentally Vision AI always right?

No. Dentally Vision AI has been taught from the diagnostic data provided by human dentists and radiologists, and as you know, dentists often disagree with one another regarding diagnosis. Therefore Dentally Vision AI will sometimes make detections that you don’t agree with.

Dentally Vision AI can still provide great value by highlighting areas of interest that you may have missed, and you should disregard any detections that you do not feel are accurate.

The software is intended to support you, but all final diagnostic decisions are yours and yours alone.

How does Dentally Vision AI work?

Dentally Vision AI will automatically assess your images straight after acquisition and will take around 40 seconds to load its assessment and diagnosis of the image. Read more about how Dentally Vision AI works and how to use it in our full user guide here.

Can Dentally Vision AI assess both dentitions?

Will Dentally Vision AI diagnose imported images?

Yes, if you have the need to import images through the acquisition workflow for example from a referral patient, Dentally Vision AI will still assess the image.
