Neutrosophic Linguistic Scale for the Assessment of Knowledge of Natural and Traditional Medicine in Dental Students

Abstract

It is more and more frequent to carry out research in the field of natural and traditional Chinese medicine in dental treatments and for this reason, it is necessary to identify the knowledge of university students in this matter while in connection with neutrosophic philosophy. Based on these arguments, this paper aims to apply a linguistic neutrosophic scale for the assessment of knowledge of natural and traditional medicine in dental university students. During the study, theoretical, empirical, and mathematical-statistical methods were used. When applying these methods, the knowledge of the students on this subject was identified. The results obtained show the need to deepen other investigations that link Neutrosophy, natural and traditional medicine, and dentistry.
