BOSTON, US: VideaHealth, a provider of artificial intelligence (AI)-powered dental technology, has introduced OrthoAI and ImplantAI—new features within its VideaAI platform designed to support the identification of aligner and implant candidates directly from radiographic images. The update aims to assist dental service organisations (DSOs) and independent practices in recognising additional treatment options while improving clinical efficiency.

By analysing routine radiographs, the new features help highlight patients who may benefit from orthodontic or implant treatment, thereby assisting clinicians in prioritising further diagnostic steps for higher-probability cases. “Aligners and implants represent enormous clinical and financial opportunities for DSOs and dental groups, but many organisations struggle to identify eligible patients at scale and train their staff to check for these procedures continuously,” Florian Hillen, CEO of VideaHealth, said in a press release. “With these new AI-powered recommendations, we’re addressing one of the most persistent frustrations DSOs face: knowing which patients to analyse with more detailed imaging, and how to maximise treatment conversion,” he continued.

According to the company, pilot programmes conducted with leading DSOs have shown measurable outcomes. Within 30 days of implementation, participating practices reported a 14% increase in planned aligner treatments, corresponding to an estimated US$125,000 (€107,000^*) in additional revenue per location. In some instances, practices nearly tripled their treatment planning volumes, with annual revenue increases estimated at up to US$1.5 million per site.

Optimising resource use and case planning

Although many DSOs have invested in intra-oral and 3D scanning technologies, challenges remain regarding consistent usage and the identification of high-value treatment cases. VideaHealth reports that, within weeks of activating OrthoAI, participating practices recorded an unexpected twelvefold increase in 3D scans among patients identified as likely candidates for aligner therapy, based on clinical and historical data. According to the company, these prompts can support case acceptance and help streamline staff training.

OrthoAI and ImplantAI are integrated into the existing VideaAI workflow. The features are designed to provide visual cues within the platform, assisting practices in targeting appropriate cases without the need for workflow modifications or retraining. The system also supports standardised, data-informed care across teams while aiming to improve resource utilisation.

The company notes that identifying suitable candidates for orthodontic and implant procedures may also contribute to improved long-term health outcomes. Evidence suggests such treatments can play a role in reducing systemic health risks associated with cardiovascular disease, diabetes and sleep apnoea, as well as in supporting improved nutrition and overall well-being.

“VideaAI already powers the largest share of AI adoption across the largest ten DSOs in North America,” Hillen commented. “With this launch, we’re not just helping DSOs grow smarter and faster; we’re also supporting healthier, longer lives for patients everywhere.”

Editorial note:

OrthoAI and ImplantAI are available as part of VideaHealth’s WorkflowAI offering and require access to both the Huddle and Viewer modules.
