The methods for the examination, diagnosis and treatment of craniomandibular disorders are varied among medical institutions. It is intensely hoped that the standardized methods will be established as soon as possible.Therefore, a patients database and an expert system for diagnosis have been constructed and continued in cooperation with 13 universities. The universities participating in this project were connected through a computer network.The expert system was developed by using a commercially available construction tool “EXSYS”. The rules of the system were originally obtained from a dentist specializing in craniomandibular disorders.The purpose of this study was to apply this expert system to patient cases, and to discuss some problems of the system. The result was that the rates of diagnosis agreement between the expert system and 11 doctors were 60.1% in the 28 patient cases.
