Abstract:
A peer review clinical trial was undertaken to assess the appropriateness of the advice produced by an expert system designed to plan orthodontic treatment in which the pre-adjusted bracket appliance was to be used. The results showed that the expert system's treatment plans were as reliable as those produced by a group of orthodontists. Two members of the panel actually ranked the expert system's plans more highly than their own.
