Pearl and Seattle Study Club Partner on Dental AI Education
Pearl, a dental AI company, and Seattle Study Club, a dental education network, announced a partnership to teach dentists how to use AI in clinical practice. The collaboration includes educational programming, conference participation, and clinical content designed to help practitioners integrate AI across patient exams, scheduling, documentation, and practice operations.
Many dental practices have begun adopting AI but lack practical guidance on implementation and workflow integration. The partnership aims to close that gap with training grounded in real-world application and operational outcomes.
What the partnership covers
Pearl's AI platform assists with several practice functions:
- Radiologic analysis and clinical decision-making
- Patient communication and education
- Insurance preparation and documentation workflows
- Operational intelligence and scheduling
- Imaging quality assurance
Seattle Study Club, founded in 1992, operates as a network of dental study groups across the country. The organization provides hands-on learning and case discussions for dental professionals.
The education focus
Gary Dickenson, CEO of Seattle Study Club, said the partnership reflects a belief that "AI is becoming an increasingly important part of modern practice" and that dentists need "meaningful education around how these technologies support better care, stronger patient communication, and more efficient practice operations."
Pearl introduced the first FDA-cleared AI for dental radiograph analysis in 2019. The company has since expanded its platform to address broader practice workflows beyond diagnostics.
The partnership will deliver educational initiatives throughout the year, maintaining emphasis on clinical judgment, patient trust, and practical implementation.
