Research summary
AI-generated

Ching-Chang Ko's research spans orthodontics and dental bone biology, combining laboratory studies of bone remodeling and molecular pathways (such as the gene optineurin and its role in Paget's disease of bone) with clinical and applied studies on orthodontic treatment, tooth movement, and dental implants. Recent work also applies machine learning and 3D imaging techniques to problems like predicting tooth extraction decisions and reconstructing dental X-rays. This group's work bridges basic bone biology with practical orthodontic and implant treatment planning.
