Article Synopsis
  • Oral leukoplakia (OL) can lead to oral cancer, especially when accompanied by epithelial dysplasia (OED), making accurate assessment crucial but difficult.
  • This study developed a deep learning (DL) model using oral photographs to predict the likelihood of dysplasia and compared its performance against human clinicians.
  • Results showed that the DL model performed well, with higher accuracy than the majority of human raters and potential benefits in guiding biopsy decisions, indicating it could effectively assist in assessing dysplasia in patients with leukoplakia.
