Overjet Unveils AI for Educators

Overjet's AI for Educators: giving dental students X-ray vision for a tech-savvy future

🗞️ The Announcement

Overjet has unveiled Overjet for Educators, allowing dental students to use the same AI technology available to dentists to analyze X-rays, educate patients, and manage practices.

💡 The Impact

This initiative can really pack a punch in dental education. With dental AI becoming part of clinical reality, early exposure will prepare students to work with this technology in clinics after graduation. It will also build awareness of its possibilities and limitations.

🧠 The Technology

This AI technology is FDA-cleared to detect, outline, and quantify oral diseases in X-rays. Developed in collaboration with dentists and powered by machine learning, it identifies and outlines natural dental structures, restorative treatments, caries lesions, interproximal calculus deposits, and periapical radiolucencies on bitewings and periapical radiographs.

🎓 Advancing Dental Education

Wardah Inam, Overjet’s CEO, stated, “Dental AI is already improving oral health for millions of patients, as it provides the first objective standard for dental care. Our team is excited to see top universities embracing this technology to shape the next generation of oral health leaders. This is a significant step forward for the science of dentistry.”

🏫 Adoption by Universities

Institutions like the Western University College of Dental Medicine and the University of Florida College of Dentistry are integrating this AI into their programs. Other universities looking to join the ranks can benefit from this cutting-edge tool to enhance their curriculum.

👍 Positive Feedback

Students and residents have responded positively, finding the technology beneficial for both education and patient care. Dr. Teresa Dolan, Overjet’s Chief Dental Officer, mentioned the enthusiasm among students for using this technology.
