Towards Robotics & Artificial Intelligence: Targeting Oral Health Care in Africa in the Digital Age  
Obtaining, organizing, and sorting primitive data related to patients and students’ records is a daily process in dental schools. Whether handwritten or digitally inserted, this data contains valuable information that when properly processed, could reveal lots of information and clues in relation to oral health of the patients and performance of dental students. In the last decade, data mining became an attractive science based on core principles that allows the process of finding anomalies, patterns and correlations within large data sets to predict outcomes of interest. Unstructured data alone makes up 90% of the digital universe, but more information does not necessarily mean more knowledge. Data mining allows us to shift through all the chaotic and repetitive noise in our data, understand what is relevant and assess likely outcomes, and accelerate the pace of making informed decisions.

Learning Objectives
  • Concepts related to statistics and data analysis.
  • Principles of descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive data modeling.

    Rania M. ElBackly (BDS, MSc, PhD), is currently an associate professor of endodontics at the faculty of Dentistry, Alexandria University as well as a principal investigator at the tissue engineering laboratories at the faculty. She graduated from the faculty of dentistry in 2000 at the top of her class with honor degrees. Since 1999, she has been actively involved in research as part of the tissue engineering laboratories team at the faculty. She obtained her Master’s degree in conservative dentistry in 2006 with her thesis focusing on regeneration of the dentin/pulp complex. In 2009, she was awarded a scholarship from the Universita’ degli studi di Genova, Italy and became a PhD candidate there. She then received her PhD in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine from the University of Genoa, in 2012 which was followed by an equivalence PhD in endodontics in 2013. She has presented her work at several national and international congresses worldwide including in Egypt, Italy, USA, Switzerland, Ireland, Spain, Saudi Arabia, Austria, Argentina, India and South Korea. She has international publications in impacted peer-reviewed journals pertaining to the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, and, in particular, to dental tissue engineering and regenerative endodontics. She currently supervises several masters and PhD theses. In 2014, she became a principal investigator of more than one funded research project in the field of regenerative dentistry and research innovation. She received several international awards including the student travel award, TERMIS world congress 2006 in Pittsburgh, USA, the award for best abstract for an oral presentation at the TERMIS world congress, Vienna, Austria in 2012 and the award for best oral presentation at the SICOT conference, Saudi Arabia in 2013. Dr. El Backly is also a reviewer for several international journals such as tissue engineering, PLOS one, artificial organs, biomedical materials, archives of oral biology, frontiers in bioengineering and biotechnology and others and also serves on the editorial board of a couple of peerreviewed international journals. She is also the recipient of Alexandria University award for scientific encouragement for the year 2017. Her h-index is 12 (accessed on 25-6-2021/ total number of citations: 672).
