| Research Abstract |
On a database construction of patient with temporomandibular (TM) disorder, we made a questionnaire and a protocol concluding of a chief complaint, present observations and three biggest symptoms. We established items to fill out by TM joint sounds, pain, trismus, X-rays and MRI views as image information, occlusal states, anterior guidance, occlusal interferences, soft tissue views, mouth open-close paths, mouth opening distance, psychophysiological anxiety and depression scores, diagnostic categories of TM disorder, therapy and treatment evaluation. We made formats to input a database that link to this protocol and we input patient datas obtained from excellent treatment results into a personal computer and were able to build databases. As a result, we showed excellent rates of 73-83% about treatment evaluation, and education for patients and physical therapy were common, and, as for the thing that treatment was effective, sprint therapy and pharmacotherapy were found in type I and type II, pharmacotherapy and surgical therapy in type IIIb, sprint therapy in type IV. When an intelligent knowledge-based system treats knowledge about TM disorder, a diagnosis of TM disorder is thought to be useful and can plan problem solving by even what kind of case is common and uses a usable reasoning mechanism, and treating the knowledge base that accumulated as a database at this time. A knowledge base constitutes TM joint sound unit, pain unit, mouth opening distance unit, imaging information unit and other symptom unit as a prototype system and we decide a rule which of these units it applies to and produce diagnosis unit. And it is necessary to decide a rule to determine therapy from obtained abnormal findings. It was thought that an intelligent knowledge-based system was built by an engineer having theoretical basics about artificial intelligence and basics of methodology about knowledge engineering afterwards.
