    Oral cancer is one of the top health problems globally. Some white lesions of the oral cavity can develop into oral cancer if not screened and treated immediately. Modern screening technologies are popular for applying deep learning knowledge to screen and classify images. In this study, we used deep convolution neural network (CNN) to classify oral white lesions, ulcers, and normal anatomy using transfer learning, which can reduce training time. Ten pre-trained model of transfer learning including DenseNet121, DenseNet169, DenseNet201, Xception, ResNet50, InceptionResNetV2, InceptionV3, VGG16, VGG19, and EfficientNetB7 are implemented and evaluated. The evaluation of accuracy, precision, F1score, recall, sensitivity, confusion matrix, and AUC-ROC curve are discussed. The trained models of DenseNet169, DenseNet201, and Xception showed the highest testing accuracy of more than 90% and recall of 0.8833. In addition to the precision, F1score, and specificity, the DenseNet169 outperforms at 0.9034, 0.884, and 0.9417, respectively.

    This study presents a proof-of-concept deep learning approach for automated detection and classification of restorative dental instruments on standardized trays, aiming to support workflow automation and infection control in dental supply units. A dataset comprising 1,000 images and 14,000 annotated instances of restorative dental instruments across 14 categories was developed. The YOLOv8 model was trained and evaluated on this dataset using standard object detection metrics, including precision, recall, and mean average precision at IoU thresholds 0.5 (mAP@0.5) and 0.5:0.95 (mAP@[0.5:0.95]). To assess model advancement, YOLOv8 performance was compared against its predecessors, YOLOv5, YOLOv6, and YOLOv7, under identical experimental settings. A session-level data split was implemented as the primary evaluation to minimize data leakage and provide a realistic estimate of generalization across unseen tray configurations. The YOLOv8 model achieved highest mean average precision mAP@0.5 of 95.9% and mAP@[0.5:0.95] of 80.9%, demonstrating robust detection capability under both standard and stringent evaluation thresholds. Across instrument categories, YOLOv8 demonstrated precision ranging from 90.3% to 100% and recall from 80.6 to 98.5%. The findings demonstrate the feasibility of using YOLOv8 for automated restorative dental instrument detection as an early-stage tool for improving supply unit efficiency. While results indicate high detection accuracy and robustness, further validation in diverse clinical environments is needed. Future deployment should incorporate human-in-the-loop verification, audit trails, and error escalation mechanisms to ensure safe and accountable AI-assisted workflows.

    This research aims to use deep learning techniques to segment oral lesions in medical images for use as a preprocessing step in a classification model. Due to the complexity of oral lesions with undefined margins and dynamic shapes, and the limited amount of data certified by dentists, this approach was found to be underfitting and unsatisfactory. To improve the accuracy of the model, a new approach was proposed to segment interferences such as teeth from the images. This allows the model to better focus on the oral lesions. To achieve this goal, we implemented U-net models with different additional Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) backbones, including DenseNet 121, EfficientNet B3, VGG 19, ResNet 18, SE-ResNet 18, ResNeXt 50, Inception V3, Mobilenet V2 and SE-ResNeXt 50. A segmentation model was trained with five classes of oral lesions: leukoplakia, pseudomembranous candidiasis, lichen planus, ulcer, and other white lesions. The results showed that DenseUNet and EfficientUNet achieved the highest validation and Intersection over Union (IoU) scores of 98% and 92%, respectively. Our proposed approach effectively segmented the interferences from the images, demonstrating the success of these models in handling the approach. Subsequently, a CNN model of DenseNet 121 was employed for classification. The training accuracy achieved 99.1%, while the validation and test accuracies reached 86.1% and 75.5%, respectively.

    Computer vision adjunctive technology for oral lesion diagnoses has been developed to detect and identify Oral Potentially Malignant Disorders (OPMDs) and non-OPMDs. The early detection of OPMDs can reduce the risk of oral cancer development, improving the survival rate of the patients. This study aims to evaluate the computer vision technique in the white oral lesion domain within the scope of photographic images. Deep learning techniques for the classification of Convolution Neural Networks (CNNs) and transformer neural networks, and one-stage models of YOLOv7 and YOLOv8 were utilized to classify and detect five classes of OPMDs and non-OPMDs oral white lesions including oral leukoplakia, oral lichen planus, pseudomembranous candidiasis, oral ulcers covered with pseudomembrane and other white benign oral lesions. From the evaluation results of classification, the IFormerBase model achieves overperformance compared to CNN models with accuracy, precision, and F1 score of more than 80% on the test set. The best model for object detection is YOLOv7 with 84.5% mean Average Precision (mAP) at Intersection over Union (IoU) threshold of 0.3 and 74.5% at IoU of 0.5 on the test set. Object detection results reveal promising automatic oral lesion identification, which can be further developed to enhance the lesion screening system.
