About
Dr. Noriko Maruyama is a pioneering researcher in orthodontic education and simulation technology, with a focus on integrating robotics into clinical training. Her most cited work, "The utility of a patient robot in orthodontic practice" (2016), explores the use of patient robots to simulate real-world orthodontic bonding procedures, aiming to enhance clinical skills and risk management among trainees. This study, conducted from June to August 2013, demonstrated the potential of robotic patients to bridge the gap between theoretical learning and hands-on practice, offering a safe, repeatable environment for students to master complex techniques. While her citation count remains modest, with 2 citations to date, her contribution is notable for its forward-thinking approach to dental education, addressing a critical need for realistic simulation in orthodontics. Dr. Maruyama’s work underscores the growing importance of technology in medical training, paving the way for future innovations in patient simulation and risk mitigation. Her research stands as a valuable resource for educators and clinicians seeking to improve orthodontic practice through immersive, low-risk learning tools.
