Fatigue is one of the most dangerous risks in medical diagnostics. At the University of Maryland School of Dentistry, Ahmed Sultan, BDS, PhD, is using artificial intelligence to support pathologists and radiologists in detecting oral cancers earlier and more accurately. This NIH-funded research could revolutionize dental care — minimizing human error and improving patient outcomes. #OralCancer #ArtificialIntelligence #NIHResearch #DentalInnovation #HealthcareAI #Radiology #BreakthroughsCantWait #Science #DentalSchool Learn more: https://vist.ly/3n5j835

What if your dentist had a second set of eyes — powered by AI — to help spot cancer earlier and improve patient outcomes?That’s the driving question behind the work of Ahmed Sultan, BDS, PhD, a pioneer in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in oral health care. Sultan directs the Division of Artificial Intelligence Research at the University of Maryland School of Dentistry, the first such division at a dental school in the United States. His work is advancing a new era of diagnostics, where AI tools assist clinicians in detecting disease earlier, improving outcomes, and closing care gaps.“We’re seeing more administrative burden and clinician fatigue, which increases the risk of missing things,” Sultan explained. “AI can triage cases and flag abnormalities early, helping dentists and pathologists prioritize serious conditions before they’re overlooked.”🔗 Learn more: https://www.umaryland.edu/breakthroughs#NIHResearch #HealthcareInnovation #DiagnosticAccuracy #HospitalSafety #HealthTech #BreakthroughsCantWaitUMB #UMD #UMB #universityofmaryland #Dentistry #radiology #Science #artificialintelligence #aiinhealthcare

What if artificial intelligence could help spot oral cancer earlier — before symptoms even appear?At the University of Maryland School of Dentistry, Ahmed Sultan is leading NIH-funded research to develop AI tools that detect early-stage oral cancer, especially in communities with limited access to care. This work combines innovation and equity to save lives through faster, more accurate diagnosis.🔗 Learn more: https://vist.ly/3n5gjp9#OralCancer #EarlyDetection #AIHealthTech #AhmedSultan #NIHResearch #HealthcareEquity #MedicalInnovation #BreakthroughsCantWait #CancerScreening #Science #Dentistry

Metformin was designed to treat type 2 diabetes.Now, Abraham Schneider, DDS, PhD, at @UMSOD is uncovering how this affordable medication could support craniofacial bone regeneration — helping patients heal after oral trauma, surgery, or disease.Supported by the National Institutes of Health, his work represents a potential breakthrough in non-invasive bone repair and oral health innovation.https://umaryland.edu/breakthroughs#BreakthroughsCantWaitUMB #NIHResearch #MetforminScience #BoneHealing #DentalInnovation #MedicalResearch #Science #Dentistry #DentalSurgery

Could an affordable diabetes drug change how we rebuild bone after trauma?Abraham Schneider, DDS, PhD, at the University of Maryland School of Dentistry is investigating how metformin supports bone regeneration — not just in theory, but as a real, low-cost solution for treating injuries to the face and jaw.Supported by the National Institutes of Health, this research opens the door to non-invasive, drug-based alternatives to traditional bone grafting techniques — a promising breakthrough for oral surgeons and trauma recovery specialists.🔗 Learn more: https://vist.ly/3n4yu4g #BreakthroughsCantWait #BoneHealing #NIHResearch #DentalInnovation #MetforminScience #OralHealthCare #Research #Science #MedicalBreakthroughs
