Perimetrics’ new board to advise on dental diagnostic tool

Artificial intelligence dental diagnostics firm Perimetrics has created a clinical advisory board that will provide feedback about a new technology that can detect tooth cracks and more.

In addition to cracks, InnerView technology can detect failing restorations and tooth mobility. The board will help provide advice regarding how the technology may be used in the clinical setting and help explain the challenges of detecting tooth damage. Perimetrics is gathering these insights as it seeks regulatory approval for the technology.
