John Radke
John C. Radke
received his BM degree from Cornish College in Seattle, WA and his MBA degree from the Keller Graduate School of Management, Chicago, IL. He was trained from 1967 to 1970 in electronics, computers and radar systems in the U. S. Navy passing all required testing for the rate of Petty Officer Second Class. He completed a digital electronics course at the Computer-Timeshare Company between 1970 and January 1972. He received his first U. S. Patent in 1969 for “Orguitar” an electronic organ in the shape of a guitar. In 1972 he was hired by Myotronics Research, Inc. to develop a jaw tracking system that would not interfere with normal masticatory function (the Kinesiograph). He invented several patented electronic products for Myotronics Research, Inc. between 1970 and 1983. Since then, he has continuously developed electronic and computer software-based diagnostic devices for dentistry, moving to BioResearch Associates, Inc. in 1983 when Myotronics decided to terminate their research efforts. These include several systems for electronic incisor-point motion analysis, temporomandibular joint vibration recording and analysis, electromyographic recording and analysis and complete masticatory functional analysis. He is currently Chairman of the Board of BioResearch Associates, Inc., located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Mr. Radke has served as a technical reviewer and consultant for several scientific publications. He has taught the principles of analyzing masticatory function nationally and internationally in 23 + countries. He has authored 121 scientific publications including patents, editorials and poster presentations that have been cited 2536 times (according to Google Scholar) on the scientific methods (Fourier series, wavelet transforms, artificial neural networks, and genetic algorithms) used for analyzing physiologic measurements in dentistry such as: 1) vibrations recorded from the temporomandibular joints, 2) electromyographic data from multiple muscles of mastication, 3) functional and parafunctional jaw movements, 4) the use of ULFTENS in dentistry. In September 2018 Mr. Radke founded the Open Access journal, Advanced Dental Technologies & Techniques to provide the first unbiased publication focusing specifically on state-of-the-art dental technologies and techniques. It is also the first non-profit open access journal without author publication fees for those who cannot afford the typical $3,000 to $6,000 charges. Mr. Radke is a long-term member of the International Association for Dental Research and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He’s an honorary member of the Italian Academy of Electromyography and Kinesiography and Medica Odontologia Craneo-mandibular A. C. of Mexico. Since 1969, he has received numerous patents for his innovative instrument designs. He is highly proficient with the Tenor Saxophone and a variety of Mexican Folk Dances.
