Research
Advancing research where prevention is the truest cure
We believe prevention is the most powerful form of care, and we pursue research that transforms it into a global standard through bold science, digital tools, and systemic change.
Focus areas
Our research focuses on shaping public health policy, integrating artificial intelligence and emerging technologies into dentistry, and uncovering how each field of dental science contributes to lasting preventive care.
Prevention and Dentistry
Public health policy
Innovation
A dental diagnosis AI model
We are currently developing DDAIS, an AI-powered system designed to assist in the early detection of cavities, caries, gingivitis, and tooth discoloration through the analysis of panoramic and X-ray images. Trained on a growing dataset of over 10,000 annotated images, DDAIS aims to become a reliable support tool for dental professionals, enhancing diagnostic accuracy, enabling earlier intervention, and advancing the future of preventive oral care.
“Our research isn’t just about data, it’s about driving change. We investigate the root causes of oral health disparities and use our findings to inform smarter care, influence policy, and create solutions that empower communities worldwide.”
Dimitris Papakyriakopoulos, Founder of Better Smile Foundation
