title: Orthodontic treatment planning software.
abstract: A new software is described that can receive patient data in both graphic and numeric forms and then propose a treatment plan for nonsurgical orthodontic patients. The concepts of fuzzy logic enable the software to work with nominal parameters; the human brain is naturally accustomed to fuzzy variables. The computer program can propose treatment for some special cases, such as incomplete dentition.
