Dr. Hossein Boustani Hezarani

Dentist, AI Researcher & Interdisciplinary Healthcare Scientist

Welcome to the official portfolio of Dr. Hossein Boustani Hezarani — a licensed dental surgeon and AI researcher at the intersection of medicine, computer vision, and diagnostic innovation. With a unique cross-disciplinary background rooted in both clinical practice and machine learning, I work to transform the future of oral healthcare through technology-driven diagnostics and intelligent treatment planning.

I am the founder of Decadentry.com, an academic platform dedicated to exploring the synergy between artificial intelligence and dentistry through real-world research, education, and collaborative projects.

My aim is to improve access to early detection, reduce diagnostic errors, and enhance patient care using deep learning models, including CNNs and real-time detection algorithms like YOLOv8. This site outlines my research, credentials, and ways to collaborate.

Artificial Intelligence Research in Dentistry & Healthcare

My research lies at the convergence of dental radiology, AI-driven clinical decision support systems (CDSS), and smart oral diagnostics. Using machine learning frameworks such as PyTorch and TensorFlow, I’ve developed deep learning pipelines for intraoral lesion detection, segmentation, and generative simulation in prosthodontics.

Research Focus Areas

  • Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for disease classification
  • YOLOv8-based real-time segmentation of intraoral images
  • Generative AI models for prosthetic and aesthetic planning
  • Federated learning and secure data modeling for healthcare AI
  • Explainable AI (XAI) systems for transparent decision-making

Peer-Reviewed Publications

  • 2025 – “Current Applications of AI in Emergency Medicine” (PubMed) [DOI]
  • 2024 – “Integrating AI into Telemedicine” (OpenAIRE) [DOI]
  • 2024 – “Human and AI: Collaborative Medicine in the Age of Technology” (PreferPub) [Link]
  • 2023 – “Monkeypox: A Comprehensive AI Review” (SBMU) [Link]

Ongoing Projects

I’m currently building an AI-powered diagnostic tool using YOLOv8 for real-time detection of oral pathologies, integrated with treatment simulation modules for dentists and oral surgeons.
