Owandy Radiology Launches 3rd-Generation Opteo Sensor for Ultra HD Intraoral Imaging

 


Here's some interesting information from Owandy.  The company makes some pretty impressive x-ray equipment and they have just introduced the new third generation of their Opteo Intraoral Sensor.  I love the fact that there are three different sizes.  Sometimes patients have a hard time tolerating the standard #2 size sensor.

It's amazing for me to think that I've been practicing to the point that I barely even remember film.  That may say more about my age than anything else, but Owandy makes some great products and this promises to continue that tradition.


Three Sizes Available to Support All Clinical Applications

Owandy Radiology Inc., a global leader in the manufacture of dental radiology hardware and imaging software, recently introduced its latest innovation, the 3rd-generation Opteo Intraoral Sensor, engineered to deliver unmatched image clarity, speed, and reliability for dental professionals.

The new Opteo Sensor features 18.5-micron Ultra HD resolution for exceptional diagnostic precision, allowing clinicians to visualize and document even the finest details. 

“Opteo combines the clarity clinicians demand with the reliability they expect,” said Boris Loyez, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Owandy Radiology North America. “It is designed to make intraoral imaging faster, easier, and more comfortable for both practitioners and patients.”

For example, incorporating Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) technology enables the Opteo Sensor to automatically adapt to varying exposure levels, ensuring consistently sharp and usable images while reducing the need for time-consuming retakes.

What’s more, to enhance clinical workflow, Opteo incorporates “Always On” technology, which keeps the sensor ready for immediate use without warm-up time. In addition, a new 1.5 sensor size expands diagnostic coverage by capturing up to four teeth in a single image, complementing the existing size 1 and 2 options.

Additional benefits of the 3-generation Opteo Sensor include:

    • Seamless integration: Direct USB connection for simple, clutter-free setup across single or multiple workstations.
    • Durability: Built with robust components including CMOS chip, fiber optics, and shock-absorption system for long-lasting performance.
    • Clinical versatility: Ideal for endodontics, periodontics, caries detection, prosthetics, and implant surgery.

Willo® Announces "BrushBot®": The First-Ever Automatic Toothbrush built Just for Kids to Help Establish Strong Independent Oral Care Habits

 

With all of the current hubbub circling around the fluoridation issue, anything that encourages better homecare habits and routines is going to be welcome in the profession of dentistry.  For the non-dentist readers of this, a brief explanation.  When water is fluoridated and consumed by children, some of the chemical is absorbed into the teeth developing under the gums.  That fluoride uptake microscopically and structurally changes the  the enamel on a molecular level.  It makes the enamel decay resistant.  So that means that in non-fluoridated areas, children will be the most affected.  That weaker enamel is going to be more susceptible to decay. 

When combined with the fact that children also don't have the understanding of *why* homecare is important as well as lacking the coordination or focus to properly keep their teeth clean, it's a recipe for disaster.

Into this scenario comes Willo® with a new powered toothbrush that has the potential to change things up a bit.  The new Willo® device is called BrushBot™ and it's an interesting concept.  

In the last couple of years I've seen the powered brush market bring  a couple of what I'm calling "Full Arch Devices" to market.  The idea is that the brush covers all the upper or lower teeth at once.  There's no need for dexterity or angling the brush in the proper direction.  You simply put it over your teeth and let the device do the work.  The device automatically runs for the proper amount of time, then you flip it over and do the opposing arch.  The other devices I've seen are designed for adults and I think for older people who have lost dexterity or mental sharpness, it's a great option.

However, Willo® has the first of these devices I've learned about that the company designed specifically for kids.  They are the "AutoFlo+ Fully Automatic Kids Toothbrush" and now, the new BrushBot.  My thoughts are that this is a nice option for children who don't have good dexterity yet and also lack the proper knowledge to clean their teeth properly.  Simply load the brush with toothpaste, let the child put it over their teeth, and let the device do its job.

The device also has an app that will connect it to the parent's phone via BlueTooth which allows a parent to monitor their child's homecare even if they aren't physically there when the child brushes.

Anything that helps kids take better care of their teeth is important... and it's going to become even *more* important in areas that don't have fluoridated water.  I have not yet had any 'hands-on time' with the BrushBot™, but I have had time with the Willo®  "AutoFlo+ Fully Automatic Kids Toothbrush" and it's a nice device.  I expect the same quality from the BrushBot™.

Here's the info from Willo®:


Willo®, a company led by a team of oral health experts on a mission to revolutionize children’s oral health, today proudly unveils its latest innovation: Willo® BrushBot™, a first-of-its-kind automatic toothbrush designed specifically for kids ages 5 to 13. BrushBot™ represents the evolution of Willo’s lineup, developed in collaboration with pediatric dentists, oral health engineers, and real families. The result is a complete reinvention of how kids brush, making the routine easier, more fun, and delivering results parents can trust and dentists can see.

BrushBot™ brings Willo’s groundbreaking automatic technology into a handheld, easy-to-use format that works anywhere in the home or on the go, giving kids an effective, dentist-approved brushing routine without the hassle. Like AutoFlo+, BrushBot™ features Willo’s patented OptiClean® brush head, gliding with robotic precision to mimic the dentist-recommended technique at the push of a button. Smart Sensors guide hand placement to ensure the most effective clean, while the app leads children through a full two-minute brushing session with real-time feedback

“Willo is the only kids’ toothbrush that addresses all three key problems we see in pediatric dentistry: correct bristle angle to reach along the gumline, consistent brushing motion to ensure effective plaque removal and brushing for the full two minutes,” said Dr. Joel Berg, DDS, MS, Willo’s Chief Dental Officer. “BrushBot™ delivers consistent, effective brushing at home, improving oral hygiene between visits and reducing the risks of cavities. There are no missed spots, just a thorough, effective clean, every time.”

Why Kids (and Parents) Love BrushBot™:

    • Effortless Brushing: Place it, press start and BrushBot™ ensures a full, dentist-recommended two-minute clean.
    • Clinically Proven Performance: It removes 7x more plaque than a manual toothbrush and ensures proper bristle angle, consistent motion and full brushing time.
    • Guided Brushing with Real-Time Feedback: Smart sensors guide hand placement and brushing along the gumline while the app keeps kids on track and parents in the loop.
    • Space-Smart and Travel-Friendly: BrushBot™ features a compact footprint, fitting neatly into shared bathrooms and traveling easily for weekends away, vacations, or sleepovers.
    • Low-Maintenance, High-Convenience: Fast charging, long battery life and easy cleaning make BrushBot™ ideal for busy families and life on the go.

“Willo’s dedicated team of engineers, designers, and dental health professionals work together to ensure every child has a stress-free, independent, and engaging brushing experience,” said David Fox, CEO, Willo. “We’re excited to build on the success of the AutoFlo+ by adding BrushBot™ to our growing lineup of automatic oral care solutions to help children build lifelong oral care habits.”

For families seeking additional enamel-strengthening protection, it can be paired with Willo’s new dentist-recommended fluoride toothpaste to complete the oral care routine.

BrushBot™ is available for pre-order on Willo.com and will be available on Amazon in November 2025.

ADA Study Finds ‘Fiscal squeeze’ on Dental Practices Continues


 

A recent survey by the ADA Health Policy Institute has found that despite doctors best efforts, many dental practices are struggling with finances.  I've got a summary here and a link to the ADA News for the full story...  

Overall:
Dental practices remain under financial pressure — a “fiscal squeeze” — as costs rise faster than patient demand.

Key Findings:

  • Economic confidence: Stable but lower than the 2024 peak.

  • Pricing: Dental fees rising faster than inflation; ~⅔ of dentists increased fees in 2025.

  • Staffing: Ongoing difficulty hiring, especially dental hygienists, continues to limit practice capacity.

  • Consumer spending: U.S. households are spending slightly more on dental care, but that growth isn’t translating to busier practices.

  • Utilization trends: Appointment wait times are falling — an indicator that chair time is opening up and demand is softening.

Commentary (Dr. Marko Vujicic, ADA HPI):
Despite modest consumer spending growth, practices report lighter schedules and greater availability — a sign that capacity exceeds demand.

Outlook:
HPI will continue quarterly tracking of dentist sentiment, pricing trends, and demand indicators to map the evolving dental economic landscape.

Confido Health Raises $10M to Expand AI Voice Agents Beyond Scheduling


More info today on the continuing proliferation of AI into the dental industry.  We are rapidly approaching a tipping point where lots of office functions will be automated by AI systems that can decrease staff time spent of tasks when their time could be much better spent on other things.  My personal feelings on this is that automating tasks won't eliminate staff.  I feel that healthcare is about personal relationships and that freeing staff to have more face to face interactions is a good thing.


Backed by Blume Ventures, Together Fund, DeVC, and Medmountain Ventures, Confido is scaling its AI platform that answers, resolves, and documents patient calls in one shot

 Even in 2025, 81% of patients still hit the phones to reach their doctors. For many, it means being stuck on hold, navigating confusing phone menus, or waiting days for a callback. For providers, front desks are overloaded and staffing shortages make access hard to scale. Patient frustration and staff burnout feed into each other, eroding loyalty and making every interaction harder. Confido Health is solving this problem with AI-powered voice agents built specifically for healthcare. 

 The company today announced a $10 million Series A to expand its platform, bringing its total funding to $13 million. The round was led by Blume Ventures, with participation from new investors such as Schema Ventures, Vicus Ventures and also existing investors Together Fund, DeVC, and Medmountain Ventures, as well as strategic healthcare operators from Innovaccer, Memora Health, and a roster of Confido customers.

 Confido’s system replaces the phone tree entirely. Its voice agents answer on the first ring, authenticate the caller, check eligibility, and intelligently resolve what the patient is asking for – whether that’s a referral, refill, intake, payment, status update, or appointment booking. When complex edge cases need human expertise, the system smoothly warm-transfers to staff, and every interaction is written back to the EHR or PMS. In a healthcare market where less than half of patient calls get resolved on the first attempt, Confido is built to answer, resolve, and document everything in one call.

 The timing couldn’t be more urgent. According to the American Hospital Association, providers are facing deep financial pressures that strain their ability to offer 24/7 access. At the same time, demand for automated solutions is surging, with multiple startups raising funding in 2025. Confido stands apart by handling a wide variety of workflows beyond just scheduling, making it a single point of contact for patient access and delivering a stronger return on investment. In just the past eight months, Confido has grown 10x, now providing round-the-clock access to more than 1 million patients, up from 150,000 in December 2024.

 That expansiveness is especially valuable for private equity-backed groups and multi-site operators managing dozens of clinics or facilities. By consolidating patient access into one platform, Confido allows them to unify patient experience, reduce overhead, and scale faster across their portfolios. With automation rates above 80% and seamless integration into existing phone and EHR/PMS systems, practices achieve faster resolutions while staff can focus on higher-value work.

 “Healthcare is at an inflection point,” said Chetan Reddy, co-founder and CEO of Confido Health. “Labor shortages and rising patient demand mean practices can’t keep scaling front desks the way they used to. At the same time, building AI for healthcare isn’t like other industries - it requires deep empathy for both staff and patients. Our agents are designed to support people, not replace them, so patients get faster access and workers feel less stressed. That combination is what makes this moment so powerful.”

 Confido’s breadth also enables expansion across specialties. Its agents are already live in pediatrics, orthopedics, GI, nephrology, dermatology, pain medicine, and more. At Dallas Renal Group, the impact has been immediate: over 66% of patients confirm appointments instantly on outbound calls, and fewer than 6% need to be forwarded to staff. On inbound calls, wait times dropped from minutes to just 15 seconds, saving staff nearly 50 hours in a single week. “Confido has helped make access faster, smoother, and far less stressful for everyone,” said Srinivas Danda, COO of Dallas Renal Group.

 The company’s roadmap reflects the same ambition. Beyond scheduling and intake, Confido is expanding into high-value workflows like recalls, reactivation, payments, and care coordination. With specialty playbooks, audit trails, analytics, and first-call resolution metrics, the platform is built to become the infrastructure layer for patient communication.

 “We believe better access is the foundation of better care,” Reddy added. “Phones remain the front door of healthcare, and Confido exists to make sure they open instantly, every time. As private equity sponsors and healthcare platforms continue to consolidate and scale specialty groups, we see Confido as the standard layer ensuring consistent, efficient, and human-like patient interactions across every clinic, regardless of size or specialty.” With this vision, Confido is positioned to become the definitive standard for AI-powered patient communication across healthcare.

 Sanjay Nath, Partner at Blume Ventures added: “Chetan, Vichar and the Confido team have gone incredibly deep into the trenches of the healthcare industry, having faced the pains of poor patient experience themselves - and have emerged with an offering that is transforming the way patient communication with providers is run. It is clear to us that healthcare especially in the US is ripe for AI-led transformation, given the widespread administrative staff shortages, and Confido is well positioned to 10X the patient experience. We are very excited to lead this investment round and see a clear path to Confido becoming the market leader in this space, driven by a patient-first product ethos and close partnership with the provider ecosystem.”

 Shubham Gupta , Founding General partner at Together fund said: "Chetan, Vichar, and the Confido team have gone deeper than anyone we’ve seen in tackling the patient access problem. Their fully generative, multi-agent platform is not just a tech innovation — it’s already proving its impact in real-world provider settings by handling the communication bottlenecks that EHRs and legacy vendors have consistently failed at. They also are building the most differentiated tech in this space focused on data & integrations not just voice. We’re excited to partner with them in building the market leader in AI-powered patient engagement."

 About Confido Health

Its platform replaces phone trees by answering on the first ring, authenticating patients, and resolving requests like scheduling, refills, payments, and referrals — all written back to the EHR/PMS. With automation rates above 80% and adoption across specialties including pediatrics, orthopedics, nephrology, and dermatology, Confido enables providers to unify patient access, reduce overhead, and scale efficiently.

Xlear partners with ADHA on Petition to FDA to Approve Xylitol as an Active Ingredient in Oral Care Products


 

Recently the ADHA (American Dental Hygiene Association) and Xlear have put together a petition to the FDA.  The petition calls on the FDA to approve xylitol as an active ingredient in dental hygiene products.  Xlear is a company that makes and sells several products for nasal hygiene that contain xylitol.  The company also owns Spry, a company that makes oral hygiene products that contain xylitol.  

Xylitol is readily available in many OTC (Over the Counter) products and is frequently recommended by dental professionals.

The current FDA stance on xylitol is the following:

The FDA has approved a health claim that foods containing xylitol or other polyols "do not promote tooth decay" or "reduce the risk for cavities," based on scientific evidence.

The history of xylitol is interesting.  During WWII there was rationing of many items and one of them was sugar.  As a result of rationing, there was a lot of research into alternative sweeteners.  This lead to the discovery of xylitol, a chemical that can be synthesized from plants.  In fact, the name was created due to the word xylit, which is the Greek word for 'wood'.

After the war, dentists in countries that had used a lot of xylitol to sweeten foods noticed a pronounced drop in tooth decay in their patients.  This lead to research into the chemical which discovered that xylitol can be a significant factor in decreasing decay.

The reason?  One of the bacterial types that contribute to tooth decay is streptococcus mutans.  This bacteria metabolizes sugar as its energy source and its metabolic waste product is acid.    The bacteria cling to teeth, metabolize sugar, secrete acid, and this acid causes the tooth structure to decay.  The interesting thing about xylitol is that, while it is sweet, it cannot be metabolized by strep mutans.  Basically xylitol reduces the food supply for strep mutans and thus, starve the bacteria of their food supply.  This means fewer strep mutans survive to breakdown teeth.  Basically if there are fewer bugs to cause decay, then decay is reduced.

Planet DDS Unveils the Industry’s First AI-Native Platform for DSOs

 


Another post on AI today... that's two in a row!  This one is an announcement from PlanetDDS.

DentalOS™ now brings AI intelligence into the core of operations, eliminating process debt, unlocking measurable EBITDA gains, and reshaping how DSOs run their businesses.


Planet DDS, a leading provider of cloud-based, enterprise-grade dental software solutions, today announced DentalOSTM with AI, the first AI-native platform for enterprise DSOs. Building on the foundation of DentalOS™, Planet DDS will embed intelligence directly into critical operations, revenue cycle, imaging, orthodontics, patient engagement, and workflows. This AI-first model sets the standard for the future of dental operations: predictive by design, proactive in execution, and built to deliver profitable outcomes.

The Problem: Margin Pressure Meets Process Debt

DSOs are under intense EBITDA pressure, squeezed by rising wages, turnover costs, declining reimbursements, and inflation. According to the 2025 DIA Survey, staffing (81%), rising costs (34%), patient flow (31%), insurance complexity (31%), declining reimbursements (27%), and RCM inefficiencies (23%) are the top concerns keeping leaders awake at night.

Many look to AI for relief, but when applied to legacy, siloed technologies, it produces fragile fixes with limited ROI. Planet DDS calls this “process debt”: the inefficiencies of disconnected workflows and systems that drain margins and prevent organizations from realizing AI’s full value.

A Platform-Level Approach to AI

Planet DDS is taking a different approach. Instead of focusing solely on point AI tools that automate single tasks in isolation, DentalOS with AI will provide a platform-level AI layer that enables intelligence and agents to operate across applications and integrations. This means DSOs benefit from coordinated, end-to-end automation that spans the entire revenue cycle, imaging, and patient engagement workflows, not just fragmented tasks.

In addition to built-in AI capabilities, Planet DDS continues to expand its integrated ecosystem by enabling other novel AI tools and systems to integrate and leverage the power of DentalOS with AI. Planet DDS has recently onboarded fifteen new AI partners, with many more planned to expand its ecosystem. Today, it is the only practice management provider integrated with all three of the leading AI imaging vendors, Overjet, Pearl, and VideaHealth, ensuring customers can deploy best-in-class solutions within a unified platform.

“AI is already delivering real results in dental when it’s connected to the platform. Now we’re embedding intelligence into the DentalOS platform using agentic AI so that DSOs can lower the cost to collect, cut write-offs, and turn weeks of work into minutes. That means DSOs can finally see measurable EBITDA results, whether it’s fewer days in A/R, faster staff onboarding, or filling chairs more predictively,” explained Rahul Khot, VP of AI & Innovation at Planet DDS.

From Assisting to Autonomous AI

To operationalize this vision, Planet DDS has introduced the DentalOS with AI suite that evolves from assisting to advising to acting autonomously.

Operational intelligence at scale – Continuous monitoring and benchmarking for real-time operational insights

 An agentic workforce – An AI workforce that handles repetitive workflows, from RCM follow-up to schedule optimization, alongside human teams

“Think about the daily grind today: claims in limbo, staff stretched thin, leaders piecing together data just to understand performance,” said Nathan James, SVP of Product at Planet DDS. “With AI embedded in the platform and a team of AI agents, that cycle collapses. Leaders ask, the system answers, and agents act. This is AI that doesn’t just assist, it runs operations alongside your team.”

By embedding intelligence into its foundation, DentalOS with AI creates a durable operating advantage that safeguards margins in the near term and drives enterprise value over the long term.
