TY - JOUR TI - Rough fuzzy-topological approximation space with tooth decay in decision making AU - Alzahrani Samirah AU - El Safty M A JN - Thermal Science PY - 2022 VL - 26 IS - 101 SP - 171 EP - 183 PT - Article AB - Tooth decay is a common problem among people due to many factors, including neglect to clean teeth. Dental caries is becoming more common in a number of countries worldwide. This study aims to determine the prevalence of dental caries and how to treat this problem. We also implement fuzzy soft multifunction between fuzzy soft topological spaces which is Smarandache's generation of the notion. In this paper, we generated additional topologies for an information system based on a similarity relation. This paper discussed two methods for determining accuracy: our method and Pawlak's qualitative data method. Both ideas show that because of the uncertainty and ambiguity of qualitative data, we get a lot of topologies based on one or two attributes. The new method was used to determine the accuracies. This method revealed the difference between one or two attributes. In fact, the most important factors affecting tooth decay have been identified. Furthermore, we are developing a new algorithm to treat dental caries problems. Tooth decay which includes the conclusions of some well-known results in the corresponding literature is highlighted and discussed. In addition, a comparative application that dwells on the generality of our obtained results is constructed. Our proposed approach is reasonable and effective.
