Abstract:
A computer based expert system for providing orthodontic advice for Class II Division 1 malocclusion has been developed and evaluated. Treatment plans produced by the system for 31 non-prior approval cases drawn from material provided by the Dental Practice Board were compared with the treatments actually carried out by the practitioners. The shortcomings of the system are discussed.
