---

Pearl announced Nov. 14 that TIME has named its Second Opinion software to its Best Inventions of 2022 list as a special mention. This year’s special mentions list featured 50 inventions recognized for unique impact and transformational capabilities, according to a news release.

Evaluated by a panel of TIME editors, the publication’s Best Inventions list honors innovations across all industries that deliver groundbreaking impact and influence on consumers, industry and society at large.

Ophir Tanz, founder and CEO of Pearl said that impactful innovation is core to the company’s mission.

“It is also rare to see a dental technology garner popular interest, so for a widely read and respected publication like TIME to single-out Second Opinion for a list of premier inventions is a particularly special honor,” he said.

Earlier this year, Second Opinion became the first-and-only chairside AI radiologic aid authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to read both bitewing and periapical x-rays of adult teeth in patients as young as 12 years old. The AI delivers its findings in real-time for patient-facing display, helping dentists ensure the accuracy of their x-ray evaluations and enabling them to better communicate diagnoses to patients.
