With this new clearance, Pearl’s Second Opinion® platform extends its AI capabilities to cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging, enabling automated identification of critical anatomical structures—including dentition, maxilla, mandible, inferior alveolar canal and mental foramen (IAN), maxillary sinus, nasal space, and airway—in 3D scans.
“Pearl’s mission has always been to deliver the most advanced and clinically trusted AI solutions in dentistry,” said Ophir Tanz, founder and CEO of Pearl. “Becoming the first company to achieve FDA clearance for both 2D and 3D radiologic analysis isn’t just a milestone for us—it’s a milestone for dentistry.”
Second Opinion® 3D is designed to assist dental professionals in reviewing CBCT scans with greater speed, accuracy, and clarity. It empowers clinicians with instant AI-powered visualizations that support more precise diagnostics and treatment planning across specialties, including implantology, orthodontics, oral surgery, and airway management.
The FDA clearance follows extensive bench performance testing, in which Second Opinion® 3D demonstrated high segmentation accuracy across all targeted anatomical structures. Dice Similarity Coefficient scores exceeded clinical thresholds for every category, confirming both safety and effectiveness.
This clearance builds on Pearl’s track record as a regulatory leader in dental AI. The company’s original Second Opinion® platform remains the most widely deployed FDA-cleared solution for chairside AI pathology detection in 2D radiographs. With the addition of 3D capabilities, Pearl now delivers the only FDA-cleared platform capable of supporting comprehensive radiologic review across both major dental imaging modalities.
