An Expert System for Mouth Problems in Infants and Children

Infants and children suffer from a lot of mouth problems with a wide range of severity, and usually physicians have difficulties dealing with these problems due to their similarities. In this paper an expert system was designed to help users to correctly diagnose mouth problems in infants and children(teething, gingivitis, impetigo, inflamed papillae, mucocele, oral thrush, allergic reaction, chickenpox, hand-foot-mouth disease, strep throat, cold sores, canker sores, gingivostomatitis) with some information about the disease and how to treat it. SL5 Object expert system language was used to design and implement this expert system. Keywords— Artificial Intelligence; Expert Systems; SL5 Object; Mouth problems; infants
