Introduction
Oral and mouth diseases, ranging from common issues like cavities and gum disease to severe conditions such as oral cancer and potentially malignant disorders (e.g., oral submucous fibrosis), pose serious global health challenges. Early detection and diagnosis are critical to preventing complications, but traditional diagnostic methods are often time-consuming, subjective, and limited by access to skilled professionals, especially in underserved areas.
This study proposes using deep learning—specifically the InceptionResNetV2 architecture—to develop an efficient and accurate classification system for oral diseases. The model is trained on a curated and preprocessed dataset of oral disease images, using techniques like resizing, normalization, and augmentation to improve performance. Training is done on scalable platforms such as Google Colab or Jupyter Notebook for computational efficiency.
Once trained, the model is integrated into a user-friendly web application built with Flask, allowing users to upload oral images and receive real-time diagnostic results. The system aims to enhance early detection, improve accessibility to diagnostics, and support better oral healthcare outcomes globally.
The literature review highlights multiple studies using InceptionResNetV2 and related deep learning techniques for classifying various oral conditions with high accuracy (often exceeding 90%), including benign and malignant lesions. These studies also explore segmentation, transfer learning, multimodal sensing, and automated classification of histopathological images to improve detection and diagnosis.
The methodology involves data collection and preprocessing, model training with InceptionResNetV2, and deployment via a web interface, with performance evaluated using accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score metrics.
Conclusion
The proposed system offers a powerful and efficientsolution for early diagnosis and disease identification. By leveraging the advanced capabilities of the InceptionResNetV2 architecture, the system effectively extracts complex features from oral disease images,ensuring high accuracy and reliability in classification. The integration of the trained model into a Flask-based web application provides a user-friendly platform for both medical professionals and individuals to upload imagesand receive real-time diagnostic results [9]. Through rigorous evaluation using metrics such as accuracy, precision,recall, and F1-score, the system demonstrates its robustness and practical applicability. This paperholdssignificantpotential to assist in early detection and timely treatment of oral diseases,ultimatelycontributingtoimprovedoralhealthcare outcomesandreduceddiseaseprogression.Thecombination of advanced deep learning techniques, efficient computational resources, and intuitive user interaction positions this system as a valuable tool in the field of medical diagnostics [10].
