About
Dr. Chung How Kau is a leading orthodontic researcher whose work centers on the application of three-dimensional imaging and biomechanics to transform clinical orthodontics. His most-cited study, a 2011 radiographic analysis of tooth morphology following cyclical force application, has garnered 43 citations and remains a foundational reference for understanding root resorption in mechanotherapy. In this work, Dr. Kau pioneered the use of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to quantify subtle root changes, establishing a new standard for non-invasive assessment of orthodontic side effects. Beyond this landmark paper, his broader contributions include advancing CBCT-based treatment planning, developing novel force delivery systems, and integrating digital workflows into everyday practice. With a career spanning over 150 publications and thousands of citations, Dr. Kau has shaped how clinicians visualize and predict tooth movement. He is also a sought-after educator and has received multiple awards for his innovative research and teaching. For students and researchers, Dr. Kau’s work exemplifies how rigorous imaging science can directly improve patient safety and treatment outcomes in orthodontics.
