Discrimination of Oral Mucosal Disease Inspired by Diagnostic Process of Specialist

Abstract

Abstract-A discrimination of oral mucosal diseases is very important in clinical site. Therefore, a development of a screening support system for oral mucosal diseases which supports the diagnosis of clinical dentist is required. In this paper, a discrimination method based on fuzzy inference using four attributes (existence of vitiligos, bulges, granular patterns, and reddening) for oral mucosal diseases is proposed. As the results of the experiment, the discrimination rates of squamous cell carcinoma, leukoplakia and lichen planus were 87%, 70% and 87%, respectively. The results suggest that the proposed method is effective in discriminating oral mucosal diseases. Index Terms-oral mucosal disease, diagnosis support system, fuzzy inference, intraoral imag
