Second Opinion® Release Notes

Second Opinion 2.36.0

Sugar Bugs and Caries Progression Pop-Up Update
10/30/2025

New Features

  • Sugar Bugs Pediatrics Overlay- Global*
    • "Sugar Bugs" for Second Opinion introduces a child-friendly caries UI, designed to improve engagement and education for young patients and make dental findings less intimidating for kids. 
    • "Sugar Bugs" will empower dental staff to enhanced patient engagement, increased parent trust, and improved staff-patient communication, ultimately leading to higher satisfaction and treatment acceptance in pediatric dentistry.
    • Sugar Bugs toggle (off by default) shows automatically when a mixed dentition image is detected at the top panel (next to the A|B icon). Dental staff can turn the toggle on to show the Sugar Bugs UI, or off to show the pediatric clinical xray again.
    • We will begin a gradual rollout in the next couple of weeks.

  • Caries Progression hover update- Global
    • We are adding two new caries classifications to our caries progression hover: 
      • (1) the American Dental Association classification of E1-D3 
      • (2) % penetration between the tooth boundary to the DEJ (in case of incipient caries) or the pulp (in case of progressed caries). 
    • We are keeping the current Incipient/Progressed classification shown today, and we are retiring the current % enamel/dentin presentation. 
    • This change will not only share more clinically relevant information to the dentist, but also make the conversation with the patient easier as the data is clearer.
    • We will begin a gradual rollout in the next couple of weeks.

The following is what we plan on releasing in the next 30 days:

Second Opinion

  • Enablement of detections for panoramic x-rays
  • Pediatric tooth numbering on printout

*These features are released globally but may not yet be available in all regions pending local regulatory approval.

Bug Fixes

Reduce image rejection rates - a recent improvement in image processing flow is expected to increase image preprocessing success. Change tl;dr is that some images will be rejected later in the pipeline after multiple verification instead of one verification today.
