using dot cross or matrix to solve a patient signs into disease and treatments. so,there will be no decision errors(the main problem and scam in medicine)

Actually,these calculations made by doctor cognitive skills from his knowledge as we do multiplication in mind from known multiples.so to get solution and to prove, we use paper as like my theory method is used on paper to solve patient and The calculator is my software

(0D)Scalars: have only magnitude or categorical values (e.g., mass ,tooth number, pain score).

(1D)Vectors : While they don't represent "physical" magnitude(scalar) and direction, For example, [pain intensity, swelling level, redness level] forms a vector, where each value corresponds to a specific attribute's magnitude. The "direction" in this context is relationship between them i.e the direction they connected each other

The sum of those vectors i.e both magnitude(scalar) and relation(direction) leads to diagnosis .so likewise using dot cross or matrix to solve a patient signs into disease and treatments. so,there will be no decision errors(the main problem and scam in medicine)

(nD)Tensors: These are next to vectors that can represent relationships across multiple axes (e.g.,severity over time). If there is n different relations(directions) in a magnitude then n tensor .actually in context of programming ,tensors are used for to build ai example tensorflow framework.in context of mathematics tensors used to solve calculus .in context of physics tensors are used for calculating mechanics then why won't we use in medicine

As these Scalars,Vectors,Tensors are fundamental concepts in mathematics,physics,computer science, medicine or any science where to deal with relations and data.

Feature vector Vector representation is +1,-1

Here ,+ is direction 1 is magnitude i.e scalar Also True or false

Use these as classification is called binary classification Multiclass classification

. For example, deciding on whether an image is showing a banana, an orange, or an apple is a multiclass classification problem, with three possible classes (banana, orange, apple), while deciding on whether an image contains an apple or not is a binary classification.

The existing multi-class classification techniques can be categorised into

transformation to binary extension from binary hierarchical classification

Binary classification is the task of classifying the elements of a set into one of two groups (each called class

Often, the individual observations are analyzed into a set of quantifiable properties, known variously as explanatory variables or features. These properties may variously be categorical (e.g. "A", "B", "AB" or "O", for blood type), ordinal (e.g. "large", "medium" or "small"), integer-valued (e.g. the number of occurrences of a particular word in an email) or real-valued (e.g. a measurement of blood pressure). Other classifiers work by comparing observations to previous observations by means of a similarity or distance function.

An algorithm that implements classification, especially in a concrete implementation, is known as a classifier. The term "classifier" sometimes also refers to the mathematical function, implemented by a classification algorithm, that maps input data to a category.

Terminology across fields is quite varied. In statistics, where classification is often done with logistic regression or a similar procedure, the properties of observations are termed explanatory variables (or independent variables, regressors, etc.), and the categories to be predicted are known as outcomes, which are considered to be possible values of the dependent variable. In machine learning, the observations are often known as instances, the explanatory variables are termed features (grouped into a feature vector), and the possible categories to be predicted are classes. Other fields may use different terminology: e.g. in community ecology, the term "classification" normally refers to cluster analysis.

algorithm (/ˈælɡərɪðəm/ ⓘ) is a finite sequence of mathematically rigorous instructions, typically used to solve a class of specific problems or to perform a computation.[1] Algorithms are used as specifications for performing calculations and data processing

More advanced algorithms can use conditionals to divert the code execution through various routes (referred to as automated decision-making) and deduce valid inferences (referred to as automated reasoning)

As an effective method, an algorithm can be expressed within a finite amount of space and time[3] and in a well-defined formal language

Algorithms can be expressed in many kinds of notation, including natural languages, pseudocode, flowcharts, drakon-charts, programming languages or control tables (processed by interpreters).

So to represent I use Natural language for to read Pseudocode or programming language for software Control tables or matrices for solving with paper Graphs or charts for visuals

algorithm not represent in single formula but in mathematical models and computational methods Formula is

By implementation - Recursion - Serial, parallel or distributed - Deterministic or non-deterministic - Exact or approximate - Quantum algorithm By design [[paradigm]] - Brute-force or exhaustive search - Divide and conquer - Search and enumeration - Randomized algorithm - Reduction of complexity - Back tracking

Optimization problems - Linear programming - Dynamic programming - The greedy method - The heuristic method

Example

One of the simplest algorithms finds the largest number in a list of numbers of random order. Finding the solution requires looking at every number in the list. From this follows a simple algorithm, which can be described in plain English as:

High-level description:

If a set of numbers is empty, then there is no highest number. Assume the first number in the set is the largest. For each remaining number in the set: if this number is greater than the current largest, it becomes the new largest. When there are no unchecked numbers left in the set, consider the current largest number to be the largest in the set. (Quasi-)formal description: Written in prose but much closer to the high-level language of a computer program, the following is the more formal coding of the algorithm in pseudocode or pidgin code:

Algorithm LargestNumber

Input: A list of numbers L. Output: The largest number in the list L.

if L.size = 0 return null largest ← L[0] for each item in L, do if item > largest, then largest ← item return largest

So dentamap algorithm

Input = signs Output = disease and treatment

So list of inputs i.e signs

So, Hard tissue -> soft tissues

At any stage like enamel,pulp, supporting structure

typical Soft tissues -> hard tissue hard tissue-> Soft tissues

![[Hasse_diagram_of_powerset_of_3.png]]

Get in any way => Hard tissue => Periodontium => Soft tissue

And the connection between them

=>Hard tissue -> Periodontium -> Soft tissue =>Hard tissue -> Periodontium =>Periodontium-> Soft tissue*

=>Soft tissues -> periodontium -> hard tissue =>Soft tissues -> periodontium' =>Periodontium → Hard Tissue

=> Hard tissue -> Soft tissue -> Periodontium => Hard tissue -> soft tissue => Soft tissue -> Periodontium'

=>periodontium -> Soft tissue -> hard tissue =>periodontium -> Soft tissue * =>Soft tissue -> hard tissue

hard tissue algorithm
peridontium algorithm
soft tissue algorithm
thier connection algorithm (as before soft tissue=> peridontium=> hard tissue)

Again Hard tissue algorithm (!missing then enamel algorithm then pulp algorithm) - enamel algorithm - pulp algorithm

So,parts of algorithm are

The reachability relation of a DAG can be formalized as a partial order ≤ on the vertices of the DAG. In this partial order, two vertices u and v are ordered as u ≤ v exactly when there exists a directed path from u to v in the DAG; that is, when u can reach v (or v is reachable from u).[5] However, different DAGs may give rise to the same reachability relation and the same partial order.[6] For example, a DAG with two edges u → v and v → w has the same reachability relation as the DAG with three edges u → v, v → w, and u → w. Both of these DAGs produce the same partial order, in which the vertices are ordered as u ≤ v ≤ w.

The graph enumeration problem of counting directed acyclic graphs was studied by Robinson (1973).[11] The number of DAGs on n labeled vertices, for n = 0, 1, 2, 3, … (without restrictions on the order in which these numbers appear in a topological ordering of the DAG) is be computed by the recurrence relation

Eric W. Weisstein conjectured,[12] and McKay et al. (2004) proved, that the same numbers count the (0,1) matrices for which all eigenvalues are positive real numbers. The proof is bijective: a matrix A is an adjacency matrix of a DAG if and only if A + I is a (0,1) matrix with all eigenvalues positive, where I denotes the identity matrix. Because a DAG cannot have self-loops, its adjacency matrix must have a zero diagonal, so adding I preserves the property that all matrix coefficients are 0 or 1.[13]

Total orders Different total orders may lead to the same acyclic orientation, so an n-vertex graph can have fewer than n! acyclic orientations. The number of acyclic orientations is equal to |χ(−1)|, where χ is the chromatic polynomial of the given graph.[19]

feature vector is an n-dimensional vector of numerical features that represent some object. Many algorithms in machine learning require a numerical representation of objects, since such representations facilitate processing and statistical analysis. When representing images, the feature values might correspond to the pixels of an image, while when representing texts the features might be the frequencies of occurrence of textual terms. Feature vectors are equivalent to the vectors of explanatory variables used in statistical procedures such as linear regression. Feature vectors are often combined with weights using a dot product in order to construct a linear predictor function that is used to determine a score for making a prediction.

The vector space associated with these vectors is often called the feature space. In order to reduce the dimensionality of the feature space, a number of dimensionality reduction techniques can be employed.

Higher-level features can be obtained from already available features and added to the feature vector; for example, for the study of diseases the feature 'Age' is useful and is defined as Age = 'Year of death' minus 'Year of birth' . This process is referred to as feature construction.[2][3] Feature construction is the application of a set of constructive operators to a set of existing features resulting in construction of new features. Examples of such constructive operators include checking for the equality conditions {=, ≠}, the arithmetic operators {+,−,×, /}, the array operators {max(S), min(S), average(S)} as well as other more sophisticated operators, for example count(S,C)[4] that counts the number of features in the feature vector S satisfying some condition C or, for example, distances to other recognition classes generalized by some accepting device. Feature construction has long been considered a powerful tool for increasing both accuracy and understanding of structure, particularly in high-dimensional problems.[5] Applications include studies of disease and emotion recognition from speech.[6]

Only Pain,TOP,VT are parameters for pulp and Periapical diseases

Pain 0 = absent 1 = present 2 = absent but present as in history

TOP 0 = absent 1 = present 2 = absent but present as feel different

VT 0 = absent 1 = present 2 = sinus opening

Any tooth with decay we check these. But decay

If subopacity and cavitation are Pain,TOP,VT = 0 then caries = restoration

If subopacity and cavitation are pain,TOP,VT >0 = root canal

Grossly decayed and rootstemps= extraction

Then why you need to diagnose grossly decayed and rootstemps? Pain,TOP,VT =0 = treatment no need Pain,TOP,VT >0 = treatment needed

Pain,TOP,VT = 0 is Pain+TOP+VT= 0 Correct version

Signs and chief complaint - bleeding on probe => bleeding gums - pain on probing - pocket - recession - Mobility - calculus - stains

Common Chief complaints - bleeding from gums - bad breath - mobile tooth - increases spacing - food gets stuck - yellow deposits and debris - discoloration - pain on gums - gummy smile - inability open mouth - sensitivity - dark gums

Not necessary all conditions but Any one condition of present leads to diagnosis

Bleeding = acute Not bleeding = chronic

Treatment - plaque => scaling - root planing

Why treatment plan

Phase-I - scaling and root planning - plaque control - antibiotic therapy (peridontitis) - local - systemic - periodontal splints (Mobility)

Phase-II - curettage - gingivectomy - gingivoplasty - falp surgery(deep pockets) - resective osseous surgery

0 = absent 1 = present (mild) 2 = (moderate) 3 = severe

Bleeding on probe(sulcus index ,loe and silness) 0 = no bleeding 1 = visible spots , slight colour and edema 2 = blood forms red line , bleeding on probe 3 = heavy bleeding , spontaneous bleeding 4 = necrotized or fibrotic

Recession (Miller ) 0 = < mucogingival junction,complete root coverage 1 = > mucogingival junction,complete root coverage 2 = > mucogingival junction and upto CEJ,partial root coverage 3 = > mucogingival junction,loss of interdental papillae,no root coverage

Necrotising ulcerative gingivitis - stage 1-7

Localised or generalised based on tooth Chronic mild peridontitis = <2 attachment loss Chronic moderate peridontitis = 3-4 attachment loss Chronic severe peridontitis= > 5 mm attachment loss

Aggressive peridontitis Periodontal Abscess

Rules same as Bleeding= gingivitis or inflammation Recession = peridontitis Mobility= bone loss

We use recession instead of pocket because pocket is not visual and not correct findings

Treatment¶

Plaque control Scaling Root planning Chemotherapeutic agents Modulation Periodontal splints Gingival surger Flap surgery Resective osseous surgery Regenerative osseous surgery Furcation management Periodontal lesions Plastic surgery

Indications Caluclus 1,2,3,4 = scaling

Mobility 2,3 = periodontal splints

Gingival recession -miller classification
Bleeding probing - gingival inflammation -acute- percentage of sites
purulent exudate or suppuration = chronic periodontitis = infected = digital pressure
no loss of attachment (gingival recession ) or no periodontal pocket is diagnosed as gingivitis

But definetly present is obligatory

Pocket is sign of change in peridontium - depth - furcation= Infrabony and suprabony - type

pocket with bluish red
bluish red vertical zone extending from marginal gingival to mucogingival
seperated buccal and lingual interdental marginal gingiva
enlarged edematous
rolled-out
Clinical attachment loss = distance from marginal gingiva to base of pocket - distance from gingival margin to CEJ
true pocket = peridontitis= Glickman horizontal involvement
Tarnow and Fletcher vertical involvement
5 mm => furcation involvement and bone loss
true pocket => peridontitis
<2 mm= mild
2-5mm = moderate
5 mm= severe
30% = 10 tooths => localized or generalized
if less plaque,young,faster progression =>aggressive peridontitis
first molars and incisors=> localized aggressive peridontitis

Furcation - moderate bone loss => probe can be easily but not passed out - severe bone loss => probe can be easily but passed out

Mobility => alveolar bone loss or advanced periodontitis

Mobility etiology is peridontitis,trauma,occlusal, endodontic

bleeding,edema
all are Reversible Plaque Gingivitis Periodontitis Bone loss

Gingiva colour¶

Normal - coral or salmon pink

Acute gingivitis - red(because of vascularity and decrease in keritinization) - pink(high fibrosis) - full gray(necrosis)

Chronic - bluish hue(venous statics)

Endogenous pigmentation - hemochromatosis = blue gray - melanin = black - jaundice= yellow

Exogenous pigmentation - foods - tobacco - amalgam tattoo

Gingival Contour¶

Normal - scalloped and knife- edged Gingivitis - round,rolled,blunt ANUG - loss of interdental papillae Stillman cleft - triangural shaped gingival recession McCall festoons - rolled,thicked seen commonly in canine with recession

Consistency => applying pressure

Gingival recession¶

recession is apical shift in position of Gingiva exposing root
Gingival recession can also due to brushing
leads to dentinal hypersensitivity, root caries,abrasion or recession

Gingival exudate(GCF)¶

Periodontal abscess¶

Periodontitis => abscess - swelling of Gingiva - pain - tooth mobility - tooth elevation - suppuration - digital pressure - pockets

chronic
acute

Gingivial abscess¶

marginal Gingiva

Periapical abscess¶

Plaque =>Bleeding on probe =>True pocket =>Recession =>Mobility

If mobility present there will be history of recession,bleeding,plaque

If mobility present without history then it is trauma

Here’s a more detailed and comprehensive breakdown of possible links between tooth, periodontal, and soft tissue areas, with clinically significant examples:

Tooth ↔ Periodontal Links

These links arise because the health of teeth and their supporting structures are interdependent.

Examples:

Caries leading to periodontal issues:

Deep dental caries extending to the root apex may result in periapical periodontitis or abscess formation, affecting surrounding bone and periodontal structures.

Periodontal disease causing tooth damage:

Severe periodontitis leads to alveolar bone loss, resulting in tooth mobility, migration, or loss.

Tooth extraction affecting periodontal health:

Tooth removal can lead to ridge resorption and adjacent teeth drifting, impacting periodontal stability.

Trauma to teeth causing periodontal involvement:

Dental trauma (e.g., luxation) can lead to periodontal ligament tears, root resorption, or pocket formation.

Tooth ↔ Soft Tissue Links

The teeth directly or indirectly affect soft tissue through mechanical, chemical, or microbial factors.

Examples:

Tooth conditions causing soft tissue injury:

Sharp edges of broken teeth or faulty restorations cause ulcers on the tongue, cheek, or lips.

Over-retained deciduous teeth can cause localized soft tissue swelling or irritation.

Infections spreading from tooth to soft tissue:

Periapical abscess may cause sinus tract formation in the mucosa or facial swelling.

Odontogenic infections (e.g., cellulitis or Ludwig’s angina) can result from untreated tooth infections.

Soft tissue responses to tooth restorations:

Poorly designed restorations (overhanging margins or crowns) can irritate gingival or oral mucosa, causing hyperplasia or inflammation.

Impacted teeth affecting soft tissues:

Partially erupted molars (e.g., third molars) often lead to pericoronitis, causing swelling and ulceration in surrounding soft tissues.

Periodontal ↔ Soft Tissue Links

Periodontal health depends on the condition of soft tissues, especially the gingiva, and systemic or local soft tissue issues may exacerbate periodontal conditions.

Examples:

Periodontal infections affecting soft tissue:

Gingival abscesses can extend into the oral mucosa, causing swelling, pain, or ulceration.

Chronic periodontitis may lead to soft tissue recession, exposing the roots.

Soft tissue overgrowths affecting periodontium:

Fibrous hyperplasia (due to chronic irritation or habits) can trap plaque, exacerbating periodontitis.

Systemic diseases affecting both soft tissue and periodontium:

Autoimmune diseases like lichen planus or pemphigus may cause oral ulcerations and complicate periodontal health.

Surgical or traumatic injury:

Gingival graft surgery for periodontal repair can result in soft tissue scarring or changes in contour.

Tooth ↔ Periodontal ↔ Soft Tissue Links (Complex Interactions)

These are cases where all three areas are interrelated, requiring integrated diagnosis and treatment.

Examples:

Advanced caries:

Deep decay infects the pulp (tooth) → Leads to periapical abscess (periodontal) → Causes mucosal sinus tract (soft tissue).

Impacted third molar with pericoronitis:

The impacted tooth causes pressure or irritation (tooth) → Leads to gingival inflammation (periodontal) → Soft tissue swelling and infection (soft tissue).

Chronic bruxism:

Bruxism causes tooth wear and fracture (tooth) → Leads to gingival recession and pocket formation (periodontal) → Soft tissue trauma (cheeks or tongue biting).

Oral cancer and poor hygiene:

Cancerous lesions in soft tissue (e.g., tongue or cheek) → Result in compromised periodontal support due to inflammation → Teeth in the affected region loosen due to bone loss.

Key Scenarios to Consider

Sinus Involvement:

An infected upper molar (tooth) → Sinusitis (soft tissue and bone).

Systemic Links:

Diabetes may cause periodontal breakdown and poor healing of oral soft tissues.

Prosthetic Issues:

Poorly fitting dentures (soft tissue trauma) → Accelerate ridge resorption and affect adjacent teeth.

Summary Table for Easy Reference
