Infos

This book reviews all aspects of the use of machine learning in contemporary dentistry, clearly explaining its significance for dental imaging, oral diagnosis and treatment, dental designs, and dental research. Machine learning is an emerging field of artificial intelligence research and practice in which computer agents are employed to improve perception, cognition, and action based on their ability to 'learn', for example through use of big data techniques. Its application within dentistry is designed to promote personalized and precision patient care, with enhancement of diagnosis and treatment planning. In this book, readers will find up-to-date information on different machine learning tools and their applicability in various dental specialties. The selected examples amply illustrate the opportunities to employ a machine learning approach within dentistry while also serving to highlight the associated challenges. Machine Learning in Dentistry will be of value for all dental practitioners and researchers who wish to learn more about the potential benefits of using machine learning techniques in their work.

Ching-Chang Ko, DDS, MS, PhD, is Professor and Vig/William Endowed Chair of the Division of Orthodontics, College of Dentistry at the Ohio State University, Columbus, OH, USA. Dr. Ko graduated in Dentistry from Kaohsiung Medical College in Taiwan in 1984 and subsequently gained his MS in Bioengineering at National Yang-Ming University and his PhD in Bioengineering and Biomaterials at the University of Michigan. He completed his Certificate in Orthodontics at the University of Minnesota in 2006. He has been Professor of Orthodontics at University of North Carolina 2006-2019 and served as Program Director since 2013 and Chair 2017-2019. He moved to Ohio State University in 2020 to join the Division of Orthodontics and the Translational Data Analytics Institute to develop Artificial Intelligence in Orthodontics.  In 2017 Dr. Ko was also a Guest Professor at Peking University in China. Dr. Ko is the author of 150 peer-reviewed journal articles. He is an Associate Editor for The Angle Orthodontist and an editorial board member of the Chinese Journal of Orthodontics and acts as a reviewer for numerous journals. NIH, NSF, Whitaker Foundation, NC Biotech, and companies (e.g., 3M /ESPE, Smartee Inc., N2Bio) have supported his research, in part. He is Member of International Association for Dental Research (IADR) and American Association of Orthodontists (AAO).
