CHARLOTTE, N.C.—Dentsply Sirona has launched Smart View - Detect, an FDA-cleared AI-enabled diagnostic aid designed to help clinicians identify teeth with periapical radiolucencies (PARLs) in cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans. The feature is also CE-approved in Europe.

Smart View - Detect visually highlights areas within CBCT scans where potential PARLs may be present, supporting both clinician review and patient communication. According to the company, an internal multi-reader, multi-case clinical study found that clinicians using the tool increased tooth-level PARL detection sensitivity by approximately 46% relative to unaided review, without meaningfully increasing false positives.

The feature is available through DS Core, Dentsply Sirona’s cloud-based platform, and is compatible with the company’s Orthophos S, Orthophos SL, and Axeos CBCT systems. The company said it supports all fields of view from 5×5 to 17×11 and works with both new and historical CBCT scans transferred from Sidexis 4.

“Smart View - Detect is designed to support dentists at two important moments—when reviewing complex CBCT data and when explaining findings to patients,” said Wolf-Dieter Perlitz, senior director of DS Core at Dentsply Sirona.

Smart View - Detect will be available starting May 12, 2026, in the United States and Europe, and requires a DS Core Standard or Advanced subscription.
