1966 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Surgery
  • Dentistry

His main research concerns Dentistry, Orthodontics, Malocclusion, Orthognathic surgery and Craniometry. The various areas that William R. Proffit examines in his Dentistry study include Tongue and Occlusion, Dental occlusion. His work in the fields of Condyle overlaps with other areas such as Radiation treatment planning.

The concepts of his Malocclusion study are interwoven with issues in Physical therapy, Clinical trial and Randomized controlled trial. The Orthognathic surgery study combines topics in areas such as Chin and Maxilla. The study incorporates disciplines such as Analysis of variance and Overbite in addition to Craniometry.

His most cited work include:

  • Prevalence of malocclusion and orthodontic treatment need in the United States: estimates from the NHANES III survey. (478 citations)
  • Equilibrium theory revisited: factors influencing position of the teeth. (391 citations)
  • Occlusal Forces in Normal- and Long-face Adults (361 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

William R. Proffit spends much of his time researching Dentistry, Orthodontics, Malocclusion, Maxilla and Orthognathic surgery. His study in Craniometry, Mandible, Osteotomy, Overjet and Premolar is carried out as part of his studies in Dentistry. His study looks at the relationship between Orthodontics and fields such as Chin, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

His Malocclusion research includes themes of Clinical trial, Randomized controlled trial, Retrospective cohort study and Dental occlusion. His work on Mandibular growth expands to the thematically related Maxilla. He does research in Orthognathic surgery, focusing on Orthognathic Surgical Procedures specifically.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Dentistry (53.40%)
  • Orthodontics (38.74%)
  • Malocclusion (21.47%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2007-2019)?

  • Dentistry (53.40%)
  • Orthodontics (38.74%)
  • Malocclusion (21.47%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

William R. Proffit focuses on Dentistry, Orthodontics, Malocclusion, Molar and Cone beam computed tomography. Dentistry is a component of his Craniometry, Maxilla, Mandibular first molar, Mandible and Mandibular growth studies. His work on Orthognathic surgery, Incisor, Orthodontic Appliance Design and Anterior teeth as part of general Orthodontics study is frequently connected to Radiation treatment planning, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.

William R. Proffit combines subjects such as Affect, Retrospective cohort study and Specialty with his study of Malocclusion. William R. Proffit has included themes like Oral function, Physical therapy and Proportional hazards model in his Molar study. The concepts of his Cone beam computed tomography study are interwoven with issues in Cephalometry, Medical physics, Tomography, Shape analysis and Orthognathic Surgical Procedures.

Between 2007 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • Equilibrium theory revisited: factors influencing position of the teeth. (391 citations)
  • Pharyngeal airway volume and shape from cone-beam computed tomography: Relationship to facial morphology (156 citations)
  • Long-term stability of surgical open-bite correction by Le Fort I osteotomy. (137 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Internal medicine
  • Surgery
  • Dentistry

His scientific interests lie mostly in Dentistry, Orthodontics, Cone beam computed tomography, Radiation treatment planning and Medical physics. William R. Proffit regularly links together related areas like Tongue in his Dentistry studies. His is doing research in Orthodontic Appliance Design, Orthognathic surgery and Overbite, both of which are found in Orthodontics.

His Cone beam computed tomography study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Treatment outcome, Cephalometry, Sagittal plane and Mirroring. His work investigates the relationship between Medical physics and topics such as Superimposition that intersect with problems in DICOM. His work deals with themes such as Chin and Maxilla, which intersect with Craniometry.
