Abstract
BACKGROUND: Oral Potentially Malignant Disorders (OPMDs) refer to a heterogenous group of clinical presentations with heightened rate of malignant transformation. Identification of risk levels in OPMDs is crucial to determine the need for active intervention in high-risk patients and routine follow-up in low-risk ones. Machine learning models has shown tremendous potential in several areas of dentistry that strongly suggest its application to estimate rate of malignant transformation of precancerous lesions.
