Scantara India's dental imaging collaboration

The vision

Built by the dental fraternity, for the dental fraternity

A pan-India collaboration of dentists, radiologists, dental colleges, researchers and regulatory bodies, joined with our engineering — building and continuously evolving one AI platform that serves the whole fraternity with increasingly sophisticated services. FREE for every collaborating segment, not-for-profit in motivation; the ultimate beneficiary is the patient.

“In my over three decades of experience building software systems, it has been my observation that the core functions are easy to implement — most of the challenges and complexities arise from the need for monetization. When the right group of people come together with a greater vision than financial success and wealth, I believe great things can be achieved for the country, the fraternity and the community. If you see value in such a vision, I invite you to join us in this inspiring initiative.”

See it live

Three working showcases, on this very platform — walk through them the way a reader would. Each links back here and to the others.

Demo

AI Scan Analyzer no sign-in

Open a sample film or upload your own: outlines, numbering and findings appear before your eyes, every tooth clickable and magnifiable.

Open the analyzer → Demo

Research / Thesis IOA Studies sign-in

Blinded multi-reader studies with agreement statistics and Fleiss' κ computed live — the thesis workbench, mid-flight on sample data.

Open the studies → Demo

Expert Review sign-in

Every annotation passes a senior reader — verdicts with written reasons, blind second reads, dispute routing. The quality floor, visible.

Dental colleges

You gain

FREE* education & research platform Student training and testing, blinded thesis IOA studies with agreement statistics and Fleiss' κ computed live, exports and a ready citation block — in perpetuity for collaborating colleges.
Publication-ready statistics Pairwise agreement tables, per-term κ, dataset and CSV exports — the dissertation's methods and results sections, ready to cite.
Research support The entire AI model can be made available to collaborating partners to support research initiatives in several ways:
1. As a characterised measurement instrument — the AI annotates whole film cohorts overnight, exporting structured data with its published error.
2. As a reader in agreement studies — test whether the AI is non-inferior to a postgraduate.
3. As a cohort-builder — search archives by finding and assemble study material in minutes.
Royalties & co-authorship Every contributed image is ledgered to its institution; dataset royalties and co-authorship on the validation papers follow the ledger, provably.

You bring

Dataset contributions Annotated teaching archives under MoU, with your ethics committee's approval — revocable at any time, provenance kept per image.
Annotations PG and UG reads from everyday academic work — thesis studies and exercises double as training data, credited to their readers.
Verification Faculty second-reads are the platform's quality floor: nothing trains a model until a senior reader has stood behind it.

Radiologists & labs

You gain

FREE* AI reading workbench The models pre-read every film — outlines, FDI numbering, proposed findings — so your time goes into judgement, not drawing.
Share readings by link Send any reading to any dentist as a link; they view, annotate and file it to their patient record — no installs, no DVDs.
Named credit & royalties Every verified read is ledgered to its author; dataset royalties follow the ledger, and the public credits page names you.

You bring

Dataset contributions Historical archives, suitably consented — the expert-read films that teach the models the hard cases.
Annotations Expert reads and second opinions, entered in the same workbench you use for daily work.
Verification Reviewing contributed annotations as a senior reader — agree, disagree with a written reason, or read blind.

Dentists & surgeons

You gain

FREE* web PMS with AI assistance Patient records, filed readings and reports in one place, with the AI assisting at every film — and the dentist always deciding.
AI diagnosis assistant Findings arrive as questions to confirm, never verdicts — outlines, numbering and flagged regions on your own films in under a minute.
Royalties Consented films and confirmations are ledgered to your practice; dataset royalties follow the ledger.

You bring

Dataset contributions Everyday films from real practice, under patient consent — the distribution the models must master.
Annotations Your confirm / reject on each AI suggestion is itself a label — daily practice quietly teaches the next model.

Researchers & regulators

You gain

Provenance-clean Indian datasets Licence, consent and lineage per image — datasets you can publish on and defend, built from Indian films.
Live validation platform Benchmark against deployed models with co-authorship on the studies — a market-running system to validate methods on.
Research support The entire AI model can be made available to collaborating partners to support research initiatives in several ways:
1. As a characterised measurement instrument — the AI annotates whole film cohorts overnight, exporting structured data with its published error.
2. As a reader in agreement studies — test whether the AI is non-inferior to a postgraduate.
3. As a cohort-builder — search archives by finding and assemble study material in minutes.
The audit trail AI in health needs Every model records what it trained on; every suggestion is versioned; every human decision is ledgered — regulation's asks, built in.

You bring

Methods & benchmarks Algorithms, validation studies and named test sets that raise the bar for everyone on the platform.
Standards & oversight What good AI in dentistry means — taxonomies, thresholds and the rules the fraternity agrees to hold itself to.

* FREE for collaborating partners · every contribution is ledgered · provenance and consent per image · revocable at any time

Collaborate with us

This platform is being built with the dental fraternity, not merely for it. The institutions and clinicians who join early shape what it becomes — what it looks for, how it reports, what a good read means — and they share in what it becomes.

Dean, head of department, radiologist, postgraduate or practising dentist — tell us who you are and we'll be in touch within days.
