"Sugar Bugs" for Second Opinion introduces a child-friendly caries UI, designed to improve engagement and education for young patients and make dental findings less intimidating for kids.
"Sugar Bugs" will empower dental staff to enhanced patient engagement, increased parent trust, and improved staff-patient communication, ultimately leading to higher satisfaction and treatment acceptance in pediatric dentistry.
Sugar Bugs toggle (off by default) shows automatically when a mixed dentition image is detected at the top panel (next to the A|B icon). Dental staff can turn the toggle on to show the Sugar Bugs UI, or off to show the pediatric clinical xray again.
We will begin a gradual rollout in the next couple of weeks.
Caries Progression hover update- Global
We are adding two new caries classifications to our caries progression hover:
(1) the American Dental Association classification of E1-D3
(2) % penetration between the tooth boundary to the DEJ (in case of incipient caries) or the pulp (in case of progressed caries).
We are keeping the current Incipient/Progressed classification shown today, and we are retiring the current % enamel/dentin presentation.
This change will not only share more clinically relevant information to the dentist, but also make the conversation with the patient easier as the data is clearer.
We will begin a gradual rollout in the next couple of weeks.
The following is what we plan on releasing in the next 30 days:
Second Opinion
Enablement of detections for panoramic x-rays
Pediatric tooth numbering on printout
*These features are released globally but may not yet be available in all regions pending local regulatory approval.
Bug Fixes
Reduce image rejection rates - a recent improvement in image processing flow is expected to increase image preprocessing success. Change tl;dr is that some images will be rejected later in the pipeline after multiple verification instead of one verification today.
