About
Dr Kusnoto is a tenured professor of orthodontics, Interim Department Head, Clinical Director and Laboratory Coordinator of the Digital Imaging Laboratory in the Department of Orthodontics, University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). Dr. Kusnoto obtained his masters degree in oral sciences and specialty in orthodontics in 1998 from the UIC and undertook his fellowship in the Craniofacial Center in 1999. He has been involved in the implementation of digital technology in the Department of Orthodontics at the UIC. His degrees in computer science as well as in the field of dentistry/orthodontics make his contribution significant to this project. His knowledge in growth and development of the human craniofacial complex is complimentary to his teaching in the field of orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. He is also involved in the implementation of a HIPAA program compliant with a high-level security computer system/digital record system in the Department of Orthodontics.
Scholarly interests
3-dimensional digital imaging diagnostic computer system, 3-dimensional craniofacial growth imaging, improving quality and efficiency of digital imaging for diagnostic and legal documents in orthodontic field.
