Pearl Expands Global Footprint with Vatech Integration

Pearl and Vatech have forged a global partnership that will expand artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to help improve dental diagnosis. The collaboration brings Pearl’s Second Opinion—the world’s first real-time dental AI platform that automatically detects numerous conditions in dental X-rays—to Vatech’s best-in-class imaging solutions, enhancing diagnostic accuracy and improving patient care.

“By integrating Second Opinion into Vatech’s software platforms, clinicians around the world will have access to the most advanced AI-powered diagnostic tools available today,” Pearl Founder/CEO Ophir Tanz said. “Together, we are making it easier for clinicians worldwide to improve diagnostic workflows and deliver better care to patients.”

Second Opinion is the first and only AI software with global regulatory clearances to assist dentists in detecting a wide range of common dental conditions in bitewing, periapical, and panoramic X-rays, according to Pearl. Now seamlessly embedded within the advanced Vatech imaging workflows used in practices worldwide, its real-time detection capabilities significantly enhance radiologic precision and patient communication. The result is a more efficient AI-powered clinical experience for clinicians pursuing the highest standard of care and greater patient trust, executives claim.

“Integrating Pearl’s technology into our imaging platform transforms how providers detect pathology, making the process not just more efficient, but better for patients as well,” Vatech CEO Brian Hwang stated. “At Vatech, our mission is to provide dental professionals with the most reliable and technologically advanced imaging solutions. With the addition of Second Opinion, we are making value-generating technology more accessible than ever.”
