Overjet Periapical Radiolucency Assist

The Overjet Periapical Radiolucency Assist is a computer-assisted detection software designed to aid dentists by automatically analyzing periapical radiographs to identify potential periapical radiolucencies in permanent teeth. This technology functions as a concurrent read tool, offering supplementary information to enhance the clinician's diagnostic capabilities for patients 12 years and older.

The Overjet Periapical Radiolucency (PARL) Assist is a radiological, automated, concurrent read computer-assisted detection software. Its primary purpose is to serve as an aid for professionally trained and licensed dentists in the detection of periapical radiolucencies on permanent teeth, as observed on periapical radiographs. The software is intended for use with patients aged 12 years or older and is designed to supplement, not replace, a dentist's comprehensive review and clinical judgment, which should incorporate other relevant patient information and history. The device operates by analyzing periapical radiographic images to identify potential areas of concern indicative of periapical radiolucencies. As a medical image analyzer, it provides an additional layer of support during the diagnostic process. The system is meant to be used concurrently by dentists, offering them insights during their image interpretation. It's important to note that the software is a tool to assist in identification and does not make definitive diagnoses.
