Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Oral epithelial dysplasia (OED) is a precancerous histopathological finding which is considered the most important prognostic indicator for determining the risk of malignant transformation into oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). The gold standard for diagnosis and grading of OED is through histopathological examination, which is subject to inter- and intra-observer variability, impacting accurate diagnosis and prognosis. The aim of this review article is to examine the current advances in digital pathology for artificial intelligence (AI) applications used for OED diagnosis.
