Abstract

Periodontal disease is a chronic bacterial infection that affects the gums and bone supporting the teeth. This research work aims to assess the severity level of periodontal disease in dental patients. The presence or absence of sign-symptoms and risk factors make it a complicated diagnostic task. Dentist usually relies on his knowledge, expertise and experiences to design the treatment(s). Therefore, it is found that there is a variation among treatments administered by different dentists. The methodology of Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCM) was used to model this problem and then to calculate the severity of the periodontal disease. The relationships between different sign-symptoms have been defined using easily understandable linguistic terms following the construction process of FCM and then converted to numeric values using Mamdani inference method. For convenience, a graphical interface of the system has been designed based on FCM modeling and reasoning.
