DenteKidz

Population-health decision infrastructure for preventive oral health.

DenteKidz transforms standardized school dental screening into structured, professionally reviewed population-health data to support planning and prioritization across age groups, schools and geographic areas.

Decision-support and population-health platform under ongoing validation. Does not replace examination, diagnosis or treatment by a qualified dental professional.

The problem

Screening happens. Structured insight often doesn't.

Preventable oral disease in children is frequently recognized late. School screening programs generate real clinical observations, but that information is often fragmented, paper-based, and difficult to convert into timely action for an individual child or useful planning for a school or health system.

The result is a gap between the moment a child is screened and the moment that finding becomes a report a family can act on, or a dataset a health authority can plan around.

The solution

A structured, human-supervised workflow

DenteKidz connects school dental screening to a consistent pipeline: structured data capture, professional risk review, individual reporting, and population-level dashboards.

The workflow is designed to keep trained dental professionals responsible for reviewing findings and determining any communication or clinical next steps.

How it works

Five steps, one continuous record

From the screening chair to the dashboard, each finding stays traceable and stays under professional review.

01

Capture

Standardized dental images and clinical observations are captured during school screening sessions.

02

Structure

Findings are converted into structured, tooth-level data aligned with WHO dmft/DMFT conventions.

03

Review & assess risk

Structured findings go through professional review, and each case is risk-stratified.

04

Individual reports

The platform generates a clear individual report for professional review and authorized communication with families.

05

Population dashboards

Aggregated, de-identified data feeds dashboards for schools and health systems.

Trained dental professionals remain responsible for clinical review and every decision along the way. DenteKidz is not intended to replace a dentist or to provide autonomous diagnosis.

Real-world experience

Implemented in real school settings

Operational implementation and clinical validation are distinct milestones. The stages below show what has been demonstrated, what is underway, and what remains planned.

Stage 1

Operational workflow

Demonstrated

End-to-end implementation from screening and structured data capture through professional review, individual reporting and aggregate analysis.

Stage 2

Reliability and expert-panel studies

In progress

Structured reliability, professional-review and expert-panel work is underway to characterize agreement, uncertainty and workflow performance.

Stage 3

Independent-reference validation

Planned

A future prospective study with an independent reference standard is planned for formal diagnostic-performance evaluation.

Responsible innovation

Built for oversight, not autonomy

DenteKidz uses AI as an assistive layer within a professionally governed workflow. It supports professionals and health systems and is not designed for autonomous diagnosis or decision-making.

Human professional oversight

The workflow is designed to keep trained dental professionals responsible for reviewing findings and next steps.

Privacy-conscious data handling

Screening data is handled with privacy safeguards throughout the workflow.

Structured, traceable outputs

Findings stay linked from capture through report and dashboard.

Audit-supporting workflows

Records are structured to support review and audit over time.

Decision support, not diagnosis

The platform supports professional judgment; it does not diagnose on its own.

Ongoing validation

Clinical and methodological validation and governance continue to develop.
