How dental AI can transform clinical consistency in your practice

October 16, 2024

We've all heard about how dental diagnostic AI is changing the game, especially in identifying conditions that may have been missed in the past. Videa, with its industry-leading performance, has set a high bar in dental AI by achieving the most FDA-cleared models in the field. But beyond detection, have you considered how AI can improve clinical consistency across your dental practice or organization?

The Challenge: Inconsistent Diagnoses Hurt Patients and Practices

Dental Service Organizations (DSOs) face a common challenge—ensuring that patients receive the same high-quality care no matter which clinic or clinician they visit. We've all heard stories of patients seeking second opinions only to receive completely different diagnoses and treatment recommendations from two different dentists. This inconsistency doesn't just frustrate patients; it can also damage a clinic's reputation and bottom line.

Remember that controversial article published in Reader's Digest about the inconsistency in dental diagnoses? It sparked debates across the industry, highlighting a crucial problem that persists to this day. When diagnoses vary widely between clinicians, it erodes trust, complicates treatment decisions, and can lead to dissatisfied patients.

AI as the Solution: Enhancing Clinical Consistency

This is where Videa steps in. Our AI technology helps standardize diagnoses across all clinics and clinicians, bringing more reliability and trust into your practice. By reducing variation, AI ensures that whether a patient visits Clinic A or Clinic B, they're more likely to receive the same diagnosis and treatment plan, minimizing the frustrations that lead to second opinions.

The Videa Difference: Not All AI is Created Equal

In a clinical study conducted by Videa, we found that across all 10 of our FDA-cleared pathology indications, the performance variation between clinicians was reduced by 35% when using Videa. This means that no matter the experience level of the dentist, they all became more consistent in their diagnoses when using our AI.

What's even more impressive is that our latest caries detection model saw a 70% improvement in performance. This means that less experienced clinicians improved even more dramatically, narrowing the gap between their performance and that of more experienced clinicians. In fact, all clinicians—regardless of their experience level—showed improvement across multiple indications.

Improving Detection and Consistency Together

The benefits of Videa go beyond just improved consistency. Dentists using our AI also see a 24% improvement** in detecting previously missed pathologies on average across all 10 indications. Combine this with a 35% reduction in variation across your DSO, and it's clear that Videa is driving meaningful improvements in both clinical consistency and diagnostic accuracy.

Always Improving: The Power of a True AI

One of the things that sets Videa apart is our commitment to improvement. For example, our caries detection model has seen significant advancements. Does this mean the previous versions were lacking? Not at all. It means that we hold our AI to the highest standards of excellence. This is something our competitors simply can't match.

Why Choose Videa for Clinical Consistency?

No other dental AI partner can come close to the clinical value that Videa offers. With more FDA-cleared indications than any other company, our 24% improvement in detection performance and 35% reduction in variation span across 10 unique indications—far outpacing competitors, who deliver results on fewer models. When you compare the value realized, Videa provides unmatched consistency and impact across a broader range of models, making it the clear leader in dental AI.

If you're looking to bring the highest level of clinical consistency to your practice, Videa is the clear choice.

Why patients say no to dental treatment and how AI can help: insights from Dr. Cindy Roark of Sage dental

Dental patients often refuse recommended treatments, with over 60% of cases going unaccepted. This blog, based on a Videa webinar with Dr. Cindy Roark, explores how artificial intelligence (AI) can change that by enhancing patient understanding and trust. Dr. Roark explains how AI tools, such as colored X-rays and integrated intraoral photos, help patients visualize dental issues more clearly, making it easier for them to grasp the urgency of treatment. AI-generated printouts also allow patients to take home easy-to-understand summaries, aiding discussions with loved ones and increasing the likelihood of acceptance. AI is revolutionizing case presentations by simplifying communication, building trust, and improving patient outcomes. With solutions like Videa, dentists can more effectively engage patients, leading to higher acceptance rates and better overall care.
