[Expert system for the design of removable partial denture].
After analyzing the knowledge of the design of R.P.D. and the prosthodontist's general thinking modules, we may divide the knowledge concerning partial denture design into four levels: Domain, Inference, Task, Tactics and use the most mature method of production rules to express various design theories, principles and experiences. By the method of inference, use relevant prosthodontic rules in accordance with the positions and number of lost tooth of the actual cases and getting the relevant result of the design, it is differ from the general date base system of R.P.D. This system is realized on PC-computer and take up about 35 KB, it might accommodate all possible type of deficiency combinations, that is 65,534 in the upper and lower partial edentulate arches and relevant schemes of R.P.D.
