Artificial Intelligence Takes the Guesswork Out of Dental Care

The MIT alumni-founded Overjet uses artificial intelligence to annotate dental X-rays for dentists. MIT alumni-founded company analyzes and annotates dental X-rays to help dentists offer more comprehensive care. A hospital radiologist is often pictured as a specialist who sits in a dark room and spends hours poring over X-rays to make diagnoses. Contrast that with your dentist, who in addition to interpreting X-rays must also perform surgery, communicate with patients, manage staff, and run their business. When dentists analyze X-rays, they generally do so in bright rooms and on computers that aren't specialized for radiology, often with the patient sitting right next to them.
