Perceptive Technologies

Perceptive is a company that develops advanced imaging, artificial intelligence (AI), and robotics technologies for the dental industry. Their tools aim to enhance the diagnostic and treatment capabilities of dental professionals, enabling more accurate and efficient patient care.

Key features:
- Handheld Intraoral Scanner: Utilizes Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) technology to capture 3D volumes of data, including areas below the gum line, through fluids, and under the tooth surface.
- High Accuracy Imaging: OCT technology demonstrates 90% or greater accuracy for detecting caries without ionizing radiation.
- AI-Enhanced Diagnostics: Integrated AI algorithms analyze captured data, providing dentists with precise and actionable insights.
- Predictive Analytics: AI tools predict potential dental issues before they become severe, allowing for proactive treatment planning.
- Robotic Assistance: Exploration of robotics to assist in dental procedures, aiming to improve precision and efficiency in treatments.

How it works:
1. Dentists use the handheld intraoral scanner to capture detailed 3D images of a patient's oral cavity.
2. The AI software analyzes the captured data to identify dental issues and provides detailed reports.
3. In applicable procedures, robotic systems assist or perform precise tasks to improve patient outcomes.

Integrations:
Perceptive's technologies integrate with existing dental practice management software and imaging systems.

Use of AI:
Perceptive uses generative AI to enhance imaging and diagnostic capabilities. AI models are trained on extensive datasets of dental images and patient records to provide accurate diagnostics and predictive analytics.
