About
Yoko Maikuma’s research centers on precision measurement and dental biomechanics, with a particular focus on developing innovative tools for oral cavity assessment. Her most-cited work, “Evaluation of an Articulated Measuring Apparatus for Use in the Oral Cavity” (2003), introduces a contact-type measuring system inspired by a trial Teaching Robot. In this study, she used a standard dental model with three bearing balls to simulate dentition, demonstrating the apparatus’s ability to accurately measure ball diameters. This contribution addresses a critical need for direct, non-invasive measurement techniques in dentistry, bridging robotics and oral health. While her citation count is modest, her work lays foundational groundwork for future advancements in intraoral measurement technology. Maikuma’s research exemplifies the intersection of engineering and clinical application, offering a novel approach to improving dental diagnostics and prosthetic design. Her efforts highlight the importance of precision in oral biomechanics, making her a notable figure in this niche but impactful field.
