Using the toolbar
The Pearl toolbar offers many useful tools for viewing, manipulating and adjusting images for various use cases.
Full Screen
- Use this to enlarge the image for better review and case presentations.
Reset View
- If you’ve moved the image while reviewing a specific area, this button will reset the view back to the original position.
Ruler
- Measures endpoints to determine working lengths for endo, pathologies, implant space placements
Edit
- While the AI uses computer vision to highlight areas of interest, you remain in control of the diagnosis and treatment decisions.
- If you disagree with an AI detection (false positive or false negative), you can modify it:
- Remove a detection
- Restore a removed detection
- Manually add a detection

Edit Measurements
- Allows you to adjust measurements related to bone levels for a more precise analysis.
Measurements
- Enables or disables bone measurement overlays on the image.
- This can also be done by checking or unchecking on the control panel further to the right
Tooth Parts
- A case presentation tool that helps educate patients by converting grayscale X-rays into a color-coded view:
- White = Enamel
- Green = Dentin
- Purple = Nerve/pulp
- Blue = Cementum
- This visual aid helps patients understand the severity of decay or other conditions and why treatment is needed.
- Can be useful in explaining “watch” areas vs. areas requiring immediate treatment.
Affected
When enabled, the feature calculates the percentage of the healthy crown affected by:
- Existing restorations
- Caries (decay)
- Missing tooth structure
These areas are combined to produce a single percentage value, commonly referred to as Decayed, Missing, Filled (DMF).
Note: Dental crowns covering an entire tooth will not yield an affected percentage because the entire tooth structure is considered altered.

Brightness, Contrast, and Zoom
- Brightness & Contrast: Adjust for better visualization of specific areas.
- Zoom: Use the slider or the scroll wheel on your mouse to zoom in and out.
- Reset View: Returns image settings to default.
Invert
- Reverses the grayscale image, which can sometimes enhance visibility of certain conditions.
Pearl Enhanced View
- Adjusts the image clarity/sharpness:
- Lower clarity/lower number = Softer appearance
- Higher clarity/higher number = More defined and crisp image
- Set the enhancement level once per device, and it will stay for all images moving forward.
- Different providers can customize their preferred settings per device using toolbar
- Global setting can be applied in “Customize interface”
Rotate
- Rotate clockwise or counterclockwise and confirm position to reprocess
Flip
- Flip horizontally or vertically and confirm to reprocess
