Expanding Adoption of Second Opinion® in Australia and the Middle East 

Australia’s most trusted practice management experts join forces with a leading AI documentation platform to transform how dental practices handle clinical records.

Los Angeles, Calif. – January 21, 2025 – Pearl, the global leader in dental AI solutions, today announced a strategic partnership with Centaur, Australia’s leading dental practice management systems provider, and its Mediasuite platform, a leader in digital dental solutions across Australia, the Middle East and worldwide. This collaboration expands the reach of Pearl’s industry-leading Second Opinion® AI software, extending fully integrated access to groundbreaking disease detection capabilities for dental professionals across Australia and the Middle East. 

Second Opinion® is the first-and-only chairside AI software with global regulatory clearances to assist dentists in the detection of numerous common conditions in bitewing, periapical, and panoramic X-rays. The software will be natively integrated within Centaur’s Mediasuite platform, enhancing diagnostic capabilities and improving patient communication workflows for dental professionals. 

“Our partnership with Centaur represents a critical milestone in our global expansion,” said Ophir Tanz, founder and CEO of Pearl. “Centaur has long been a leader in the Australian dental market, and its strong presence in the Asia Pacific Region and Middle East positions this collaboration to significantly improve clinical efficiency and the standard of care for patients in these regions. By combining Pearl’s cutting-edge AI technology with Centaur’s established software infrastructure, we are making Second Opinion® more accessible to dental professionals, ensuring better patient outcomes and streamlined workflows.” 

Centaur’s Mediasuite is widely recognized in the dental industry for its comprehensive set of digital tools, which provide seamless integration with a wide range of imaging hardware and software. The collaboration with Pearl will allow Centaur’s customers to leverage the full power of Second Opinion®’s AI-based diagnostic capabilities directly within the Mediasuite platform. This integration will provide automated evaluations of 2D intraoral X-rays, delivering faster, more accurate diagnoses and enhancing clinical decision-making in real time. 

“We’re excited to expand our offerings in partnership with Pearl, whose innovative AI solutions align perfectly with Centaur’s mission to enhance dental care through advanced technology,” said Sean Perera, CTO of Centaur. “Second Opinion® represents the next generation of diagnostic tools for the dental profession.
