Assessment of the Mouth01:26

Assessment of the Mouth

A thorough mouth assessment, including inspection and palpation of the lips, gums, tongue, tonsils, uvula, and pharynx, is crucial in detecting potential health issues. Diseases ranging from oral cancer to systemic conditions like diabetes could be identified early through careful oral examination. This article provides a detailed guide on conducting a comprehensive mouth assessment.
Mouth Inspection
The inspection begins with visually examining the mouth for symmetry, color, and size.

    Summary

    Salivary oral polymorphonuclear neutrophils (oPMNs) can detect periodontal disease (PD) early. An AI pipeline, DePerio, accurately identifies and quantifies oPMNs in saliva, enabling timely diagnosis and monitoring.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomarkers and Diagnostics
    • Oral Health Research
    • Artificial Intelligence in Medicine

    Background:

    • Periodontal disease (PD) diagnosis often misses early stages.
    • Salivary oral polymorphonuclear neutrophils (oPMNs) are promising early biomarkers.
    • Existing deep learning models need adaptation for oPMN detection.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop an AI pipeline (DePerio) for oPMN detection and quantification.
    • To enable early diagnosis and monitoring of periodontal disease.
    • To create a scalable platform for clinical dental practice.

    Main Methods:

    • Developed a novel oPMN isolation protocol.
    • Integrated deep neural network (DNN) architectures for oPMN detection.
    • Validated the pipeline against standard quantification methods for oPMNs and oral inflammatory load (OIL).

    Main Results:

    • DePerio achieved a detection error rate below 5%.
    • The AI pipeline successfully classified five distinct levels of oral inflammatory load (OIL).
    • Clinical study involved 111 human saliva samples from healthy to severe periodontitis cases.

    Conclusions:

    • DePerio offers a robust, low-complexity platform for early PD detection.
    • The AI pipeline facilitates longitudinal monitoring of periodontal disease.
    • This technology provides a practical solution for clinical dental settings.
