Why it matters for dental
DSO owners and practice managers should scan this round-up to understand the current mix of fraud, cyber, and litigation risks hitting dental groups, even if the stories themselves are routine.
Key points

- Listing of the 12 private-equity firms backing major DSOs gives owners competitive intel on capital access and likely acquisition targets.
- Dismissal of the AI-related class-action suit against Heartland Dental reduces immediate legal precedent risk but signals ongoing scrutiny of algorithmic scheduling tools.
