Abstract
Paraconsistent artificial neural network (PANN) is a mathematical structure based on paraconsistent logic, which allows dealing with uncertainties and contradictions. In this paper we propose an application of PANN to analyze cephalometric measurements in order to support orthodontics diagnostics. Orthodontic and cephalometrical analysis taking into account several uncertainties and contradictions, ideal scenario to be treated by paraconsistent approach.
