About

Min-Suk Heo is a prominent dental researcher whose work bridges cutting-edge technology with clinical oral medicine, with particular expertise in robotics, artificial intelligence, and surgical innovation within dentistry. His 2017 landmark study on autonomous bone repositioning for robot-assisted orthognathic surgery — now cited 62 times — demonstrated a pioneering approach to automating complex jaw surgical procedures using anatomical landmarks, significantly advancing the precision and reproducibility of orthognathic interventions. This work positioned Heo at the forefront of surgical robotics in dentistry, a field with profound implications for patient outcomes and procedural standardization. More recently, his 2024 narrative review on artificial intelligence applications in endodontics reflects his continued commitment to integrating emerging technologies into dental practice. By synthesizing current AI methodologies and their clinical relevance, the review serves as an essential resource for practitioners seeking to understand how machine learning and diagnostic algorithms are reshaping root canal diagnosis and treatment. Together, Heo's contributions illustrate a career dedicated to translating technological innovation into practical dental solutions, making his research essential reading for clinicians, engineers, and students navigating the rapidly evolving intersection of dentistry and digital technology.
