Dentsply Sirona and Pearl join forces to implement AI-supported radiological diagnostics through integration with DS Core

Artificial intelligence is increasingly becoming part of clinical dental practice, especially in the field of visual diagnostics and interpretation of radiological data. In this context, the partnership between Dentsply Sirona and Pearl represents a significant step toward more accurate, accessible, and understandable radiological assessment. The joint project aims to integrate AI support for analyzing two-dimensional radiographic images into the DS Core cloud platform, opening up new opportunities for both clinicians and patients.

The essence of the partnership and integration goals

Dentsply Sirona and Pearl announced a collaboration in which Pearl’s Second Opinion software will be integrated into DS Core — the cloud platform of Dentsply Sirona. The solution is designed to provide AI-supported analysis of 2D radiographic images directly within the clinical workflow. The primary goal of the integration is to enhance the accuracy of radiological diagnostics and improve patient communication through clear, annotated visualizations.

Functional capabilities of Second Opinion within the DS Core ecosystem

The integration enables automatic exchange of 2D radiographic data between DS Core and the Second Opinion program. The AI-based system assists clinicians in recognizing anatomical structures and identifying pathological changes, including early-stage caries, dental calculus deposits, and signs of bone loss.

Particular significance lies in the visualizations with automatically added annotations and measurements. Such images serve not only as diagnostic tools but also as effective patient education aids, simplifying the explanation of clinical conditions and the justification of treatment plans.

Enhancing diagnostic confidence and quality of patient communication

According to Pearl CEO Ophir Tanz, collaborating with Dentsply Sirona brings the company’s mission closer to realization — making dental artificial intelligence accessible and trustworthy for a broad international audience. He emphasized that integrating Second Opinion directly into DS Core provides clinicians with seamless access to AI-driven insights that enhance diagnostic confidence, improve patient interaction, and ultimately elevate the standards of dental care delivery.

An open digital ecosystem as the foundation for innovation

Max Milz, Vice President of Connected Technology Solutions at Dentsply Sirona, noted that the company is consistently developing an open and collaborative ecosystem where innovations can flourish most effectively. Thanks to the open architecture of DS Core, partners and developers have the opportunity to create integrated solutions that optimize diagnostic processes, clinical workflows, and patient treatment outcomes.

He also noted that following the recent launch of their own AI capabilities for analyzing 3D radiological data in DS Core, the integration with Pearl represents the next logical step toward more connected and accessible enhanced diagnostic technologies.

DS Core API as the technological foundation of the collaboration

A key role in realizing the partnership is played by the recently introduced DS Core API — an application programming interface that defines the rules and protocols for third-party solutions to interact with the DS Core platform. The API enables dental clinics, software developers, laboratories, and dental service organizations to integrate their applications into a unified digital environment.

Thanks to the expanding documentation and functional capabilities of the DS Core API, developers can customize their systems for deep integration, and dental professionals can combine DS Core tools with their existing software solutions without disrupting established workflows.

Conclusion: a step toward more accurate and transparent diagnostics

The collaboration between Dentsply Sirona and Pearl demonstrates how integrating artificial intelligence into cloud-based dental platforms can transform the approach to radiological diagnostics. Automated analysis, clear visualizations, and enhanced patient communication are shaping a new model of clinical practice, where technology serves not as a replacement for the dentist but as an enhancement of their expert decisions. In an environment of growing data volume and patient expectations, such solutions are becoming a crucial element for the sustainable development of modern dentistry.
