VideaHealth recently announced a groundbreaking achievement—Videa Dental AI (VDA), making it the largest FDA clearance in dental AI and the first in pediatric dental AI. This milestone isn't just significant for VideaHealth; it's a pivotal moment in dentistry, carrying profound implications for dental technology advancement and patient care on a broader scale.
Securing FDA clearance highlights VideaHealth’s rigorous adherence to stringent regulatory standards, affirming its safety, effectiveness, and reliability. This milestone marks a watershed moment, paving the way for future advancements in AI-driven dental technology and instilling confidence in practitioners and patients regarding VideaAI's transformative potential and credibility within the broader healthcare landscape.
What is the new FDA clearance?
Videa Dental AI (VDA) is a collection of AI models on VideaAI cleared by the FDA that is made up of 30+ dental detections. With the addition of these dental detections, VideaAI redefines AI in dentistry by offering extensive pathology detection suites covering major treatments like caries, periodontal concerns, and endodontic lesions. Additionally, VideaAI introduces the world's first dental pediatric AI for patients aged three and up, providing unmatched precision and consistency in annotations for pediatric cases and offering insights into subtle diseases across all age groups.
Validated by dental experts, VDA features millions of annotations by 100+ clinical experts, resulting in improved pathology detection by 100% of dentists across various pathologies.
What is included in this new FDA clearance?
VDA covers many dental detections that will make their way into the VideaAI platform. Some of those dental detections include potential:
- Carious lesion detection on ALL primary and secondary teeth: Providers can use VideaAI to help diagnose al patients 3 years and older.
- Carious lesion detection on periapical x-rays: providers can diagnose potential caries on all teeth, particularly anterior teeth, using PAs.
- Periapical radiolucency detection or PRL: Providers to use VideaAI to more effectively identify signs of infection, monitor the progress of apex concerns, or identify cysts.
- Calculus detection: providers can use VideaAI to educate patients and influence the treatment and need for Scaling and Root Planing or other periodontal procedures. This, combined with our Radiographic Bone Level model, paints a picture of disease prognosis for the patient and the clinician.
- Existing restorative concerns: With VideaAI, providers can better differentiate caries from existing restorative concerns, like open margins.
- Other concerns like furcation, widened PDL, attrition, broken and chipped teeth, pulp stones, and dens invaginatus: providers can use VideaAI beyond periodontal and caries diagnosis.
