    (Hindawi Ltd, 2013) Ionescu, Ecaterina; Preoteasa, Elena; Tenreiro Machado, J. A.; Baleanu, Mihaela Cristina; Baleanu, Dumitru; Preoteasa, Cristina Teodora
    The paper investigates the risk factors for the severity of orthodontic root resorption. The multidimensional scaling (MDS) visualization method is used to investigate the experimental data from patients who received orthodontic treatment at the Department of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, Faculty of Dentistry, "Carol Davila" University of Medicine and Pharmacy, during a period of 4 years. The clusters emerging in the MDS plots reveal features and properties not easily captured by classical statistical tools. The results support the adoption of MDS for tackling the dentistry information and overcoming noise embedded into the data. The method introduced in this paper is rapid, efficient, and very useful for treating the risk factors for the severity of orthodontic root resorption.
