An artificial intelligence based referral application to optimize orthodontic referrals in a public oral healthcare system.

An artificial intelligence expert system called the Computational Formulation of Orthodontic referral Decisions (CFOD) was created in order to provide decision-making for orthodontic diagnosis and referral in the Emirates public oral healthcare system. Purpose: The study purposes were to validate and implement the CFOD system, and to quantify GP and pediatric dentist referral patterns to the orthodontist specialist before and after implementation of the CFOD system. Materials& Methods: The CFOD system was created using eight mandatory malocclusion variables and a technology and programming stack including PHP, Codelgniter, MySQL and WampServer.
