Rate My Professor Shailendra S. Rana

Dr. Rana's research interests include cleft lip and palate, bone and soft tissue biomarkers in orthodontic tooth movement, finite element analysis for orthodontic forces, artificial intelligence applications in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning, 3D imaging and surgical planning, mini-screw implants and skeletal anchorage systems, and digital orthodontics involving 3D scanning, computer-aided design, and 3D printing. He holds an h-index of 9 and has contributed to numerous peer-reviewed publications, such as 'Evaluation of the accuracy of a simplified hybrid method versus the traditional digital method for measuring palatal volume' (2025, Journal of Oral Biology and Craniofacial Research), '2D-to-3DMaxiDeform: A computer-aided approach for 3D cephalometric landmarks detection' (2024, Computers in Biology and Medicine), 'Cervical Vertebral Maturation Assessment using various Machine Learning techniques on Lateral cephalogram: A systematic literature review' (2023, Journal of Oral Biology and Craniofacial Research), 'The challenging management of Moebius syndrome using orthodontic camouflage: A case report' (2024, Special Care in Dentistry), 'Influence of tongue volume, oral cavity volume and their ratio on upper airway: A cone beam computed tomography study' (2020, Journal of Oral Biology and Craniofacial Research), and 'A pilot study for segmentation of pharyngeal and sino-nasal airway subregions by automatic contour initialization' (2017, International Journal of Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery). As a member of the Research Advisory Committee, Principal Investigator for projects including artificial intelligence algorithms for cephalometric landmark detection, and contributor to workshops on study design, Dr. Rana significantly impacts orthodontic research and education.
