- Abstract
Oral cancer is a major health problem worldwide, mainly because it is often detected at a late stage. Early diagnosis can greatly improve survival and quality of life, but traditional screening methods depend heavily on trained professionals and are limited in remote and low-resource areas. In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a powerful tool in oral cancer screening and diagnosis. AI enhances clinical examination, imaging, cytology, molecular analysis, and biomarker detection by improving accuracy, speed, and objectivity. Techniques such as deep learning, machine learning, and image analysis help in identifying early dysplastic changes that may not be visible to the human eye. AI also supports smartphone-based screening and tele-medicine, making early detection possible even in underserved regions. By integrating AI with optical imaging, cytology, salivary biomarkers, molecular targeting, and nanotechnology, oral cancer diagnosis becomes more precise and accessible. This review highlights how AI transforms traditional and advanced diagnostic methods, enabling early detection of oral potentially malignant disorders and oral cancer, and supporting timely and patient-centered care.
