- Introduction
-
- The study of diseases determination methods is called
«diagnostics» and is a main part of any medical speciality. Medical diagnostics
is based on different methods of research and diseases determination, their
severity and patients state of organism with the purpose to select and carry
out necessary treatment and effective prophylactic measures, preventing the
development of complications and recurring disease. Diagnostics is a complex
cognitive process. Making out a diagnosis is connected with the whole number of
problems: people are used to get tired and forget, they may also make careless
mistakes or make hasty choice not taking into account an important symptom,
which on the first sight may be feebly marked or does not exceed the value of the
most vividly proceeding, but not the main symptoms. Purely classic
manifestations of diseases occur seldom, more frequently there are various
deflections or combinations of diseases, and as a result changes classic scheme
of clinical course. It must be taken into consideration that dental and oral
system, like other systems, usually responds by limited number of reactions on
influence of different stimulants and etiological factors. It is also important
to mention the fact, that similar in common features of clinical presentation may be found at different in essence
diseases. All described above is a very complex and hard systematic process,
and this increases probability of error in the process. For this reason the
dentist is not always able to gather necessary information coolly and
religiously in order to make out precise and correct diagnosiss, and this
leads to undesirable and sometimes sad consequences as a result of wrong
treatment. Here he may resort to an expert system, containing the knowledge,
obtained at contact with the whole number of experts, working in this field,
and information from reference-books and tutorials. In the form of such
advising system stomatologist gets strong assistant and experienced colleague
close at hand, with which he may consult in every difficult situation.

- Research Topic
- Advising system
diagnostics of stomatological diseases
- Research Methodology
-
- Today, necessity
of applying computer software in dentistry ( especially in diagnostics ) does
not cause any doubt ( Special literature and statistical data processing
improves it ). Our choice is Expert System using Artificial Intellect methods.
Data ( knowledge ) basis created on the production ( rules ), frames and ( or )
ANN will definitely help dentists in exact diagnostics.
- The purpose
of given research is to understand algorithms of modern, current working
systems and improve our choice of the way of programming. After realization of
the best suitable algorithm in programming language the first aim is to fill
base of knowledge with knowledge of skilled experts in dentistry. Itll give us
possibilities to correct working algorithms in process of introduction, by a
principle of a feedback.
- Hypothesis
- Overall using of this system in dental
clinics will help avoiding mistakes in diagnostics and will give a complete of
the patients medical condition.
- Research Results
- Introduction experience has showed, that as the time
passes and the knowledge base grows, the system diagnoses more and more
precisely. Advising system diagnostics of stomatological diseases doesnt
substitute dentist, but becomes irreplaceable assistant for him in practice.
