Professor Jae Hyun Park's research lab focuses on advancing digital and biological approaches in orthodontic and restorative dentistry. Key research directions include the clinical application of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning, autotransplantation of teeth as a biologically favorable alternative for tooth replacement, and the development of innovative orthodontic appliances such as the MCPP for total arch distalization. The lab also emphasizes clinical communication and standardization, particularly in identifying and managing supernumerary teeth and integrating telehealth solutions in orthodontic practice.

Autotransplantation can provide patients with all the benefits of a natural tooth, but is seldom considered as a treatment option, in large part because of a lack of knowledge about periodontal tissue or the anatomy of teeth. The authors conducted a literature search using the PubMed database. They searched for key words including "autotransplantation," "clinical indications," "sequence and treatment procedures," "healing factors and prognosis" and "treatment options". Autotransplantation demons
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in postgraduate orthodontic residency programs. An anonymous electronic survey was sent to the program director/chair of each of the sixty-nine United States and Canadian postgraduate orthodontic programs, with thirty-six (52.2 percent) of these programs responding. Overall, 83.3 percent of programs reported having access to a CBCT scanner, while 73.3 percent reported regular usage. The vast majority (81.8
Inter-radicular TSADs resulted in less distal tipping but also in less distalization. Palatal TSAD-supported appliances showed the greatest amount of distal tipping. Further RCTs or prospective studies on the effect of various designs of TSAD-supported distalization are warranted.
Supernumerary teeth occur in both syndromic and nonsyndromic patients, and dental professionals are likely to encounter such teeth in their professional careers. There are three main numbering systems used to identify teeth today: the Universal/ National, the Palmer/Zsigmondy notation, and the Federation Dentaire Internationale (FDI) numbering systems. However, a review of the literature suggests that none of these three consistently addresses the identification of supernumerary teeth. Being abl
Technology has transformed almost every aspect of our lives. Smartphones enable patients to request, receive, and transmit information irrespective of the time and place. The global pandemic has forced healthcare providers to employ technology to aid in 'flattening the curve. The Novel Coronavirus, which is responsible for COVID-19, is transmitted primarily through person-to-person contact but may also be spread through aerosol generating procedures, so many clinics have severely limited interpe
The application of the MCPP resulted in significant total arch distalization without a significant effect on the transverse dimensions or changes in the oropharynx airway space. The MCPP can be considered a viable treatment option for patients with Class II malocclusion.
