title: Computer-aided diagnostic system in dentistry.
abstract: A dental diagnostic system for patient database management, automated measurements, diagnostics and statistical estimation of health conditions is described. To increase the diagnosis quality various diagnostic tools are developed using several statistical methods. The analysis provides information about the importance of particular general, dental, and periodontal data which are further used in quantitative modeling of healing process in the oral cavity. The system supports clinician's diagnostic process and leads to improvement of decisions obtained by a conventional routine. Increased control and evaluation of different therapy types is enabled.
