Abstract

Tooth extraction is a common surgical procedure in the dental field. If the procedure is carried out without proper knowledge about the tooth and the extracting instruments, it may lead to complexity on extraction procedure or even cause damages to the patients’ jaws. Therefore, the information and knowledge must be provided in a structured and complete way and in a context specific manner. Initially, information regarding the dental extraction forceps were gathered from the experts in the field, considering the importance of sharing the knowledge on dental extraction. Subsequently, an ontology on dental extraction forceps was developed. Next, the developed ontology was evaluated by ontology experts in an iterative approach. Finally, a knowledge sharing portal was developed and validated. We strongly believe that our dental extraction knowledge sharing portal can support the dental students, dentists as well as their assistants to improve the sharing of knowledge and learning practices.
