Article Synopsis
  • Oral epithelial dysplasia (OED) is a precancerous condition linked to oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), with diagnosis primarily reliant on histopathological examination, which can be inconsistent among different observers.
  • This review article analyzes the role of artificial intelligence (AI), specifically deep learning and machine learning, in improving OED diagnosis using histopathology images.
  • The findings highlight that while AI methods show promise in enhancing diagnostic accuracy and prognosis predictions for OED, more research is needed to address challenges such as the generalization of results and the interpretability of AI models.

Objectives: In this study, we assessed 6 different artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots (Bing, GPT-3.5, GPT-4, Google Bard, Claude, Sage) responses to controversial and difficult questions in oral pathology, oral medicine, and oral radiology.

Study Design: The chatbots' answers were evaluated by board-certified specialists using a modified version of the global quality score on a 5-point Likert scale.

Generative adversarial networks (GANs) have gained significant attention in the field of image synthesis, particularly in computer vision. GANs consist of a generative model and a discriminative model trained in an adversarial setting to generate realistic and novel data. In the context of image synthesis, the generator produces synthetic images, whereas the discriminator determines their authenticity by comparing them with real examples.

Uncontrolled activation of the Hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway, operating through GLI transcription factors, plays a central role in the pathogenesis of cutaneous basal cell carcinoma and contributes to the development of several malignancies arising in extracutaneous sites. We now report that K5-tTA;tetO-Gli2 bitransgenic mice develop distinctive epithelial tumors within their jaws. These tumors consist of large masses of highly proliferative, monomorphous, basaloid cells with scattered foci of keratinization and central necrosis, mimicking human basaloid squamous cell carcinoma (BSCC), an aggressive upper aerodigestive tract tumor.
