Pearl Integrates AI Disease Detection Into ClearDent Software for 35,000 Canadian Dental Professionals

Oral Health Group· June 20, 2026

Pearl has announced a strategic partnership with ClearDent to integrate its Second Opinion AI-powered disease detection technology into ClearDent’s practice management software. The collaboration will provide more than 35,000 dental professionals across Canada with real-time radiographic analysis tools directly within their existing clinical workflows. This move marks a significant expansion of clinical AI in the Canadian market, aiming to standardize care and improve diagnostic accuracy for millions of patients.

California-based Pearl and Burnaby, B.C.-based ClearDent have entered a partnership to bring Pearl’s Second Opinion® chairside radiologic AI software to the Canadian dental market. ClearDent’s platform currently serves over 35,000 dental professionals who manage more than two million patient records across Canada. By integrating Pearl’s technology through ClearDent’s Developer Program, practitioners can now access AI-assisted radiographic analysis directly within their existing clinical workflows, eliminating the need to toggle between different software platforms.

The Second Opinion® software is specifically designed to assist dentists in identifying various radiographic findings in real time, including caries, calculus, and periapical radiolucencies. The AI analyzes dental X-rays and highlights potential areas of concern, which supports both the diagnostic process and patient communication. This integration follows Pearl's milestone of becoming the first dental AI company to receive FDA clearance for both 2D and 3D dental imaging, reinforcing the company's position as a leader in the clinical decision support sector.

Industry leaders view this partnership as a significant step in the adoption of innovative technology within the Canadian dental sector. Ophir Tanz, CEO of Pearl, noted that the collaboration will markedly accelerate access to AI benefits, enabling dentists to deliver higher quality and more standardized care. Karl Schmidt, executive vice-president of business development at ClearDent, added that the move helps the industry embrace the future of dentistry by incorporating solutions that streamline the diagnostic process for the thousands of clinicians using their ecosystem.
