Rate My Professor Anusha Vaddi

Dr. Vaddi's research interests encompass oral and maxillofacial radiology, oral medicine, oral cancer, cone beam computed tomography, and advanced diagnostic technologies including Raman spectroscopy and artificial intelligence applications. Her contributions to the literature include co-authorship on multiple systematic reviews forming part of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer/International Society of Oral Oncology (MASCC/ISOO) clinical practice guidelines for managing oral mucositis in cancer patients, published in Supportive Care in Cancer between 2019 and 2020. Notable works include 'Systematic review of photobiomodulation for the management of oral mucositis in cancer patients and clinical practice guidelines' (2019, cited 433 times), 'Systematic review of basic oral care for the management of oral mucositis in cancer patients and clinical practice guidelines' (2019, cited 390 times), 'Systematic review of oral cryotherapy for the management of oral mucositis in cancer patients and clinical practice guidelines' (2020, cited 132 times), and others addressing anti-inflammatory agents, natural agents, growth factors, cytokines, antimicrobials, mucosal coating agents, anesthetics, analgesics, and gastrointestinal mucositis. Recent publications highlight innovative imaging techniques, such as 'Beyond X-Rays: Unveiling the Future of Dental Diagnosis' (2025) and 'An ex vivo comparison of near-infrared Raman spectroscopy' (2025), with one paper featured on the cover of Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology and Oral Radiology. Her scholarship has amassed over 1,800 citations. Dr. Vaddi received the William H. Rollins Award for research at the Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology annual meeting and was named a top dentist in Richmond magazine for oral cancer and other oral conditions and diseases in 2025. She has presented at events including the 2025 ADEA Annual Session on the efficacy of hands-on CBCT workshops.
