Abstract

Oral cancer is a form of cancer that develops in the tissue of an oral cavity. Detection at an early stage is necessary to prevent the mortality rate in cancer patients. Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques play a significant role in assisting with diagnosing oral cancer. The AI techniques provide better detection accuracy and help automate oral cancer detection. The study shows that AI has a wide range of algorithms and provides outcomes in the most precise manner possible. We provide an overview of different input types and apply an appropriate algorithm to detect oral cancer. We aim to provide an overview of various AI techniques that can be used to automate oral cancer detection and to analyze these techniques to improve the efficiency and accuracy of oral cancer screening. We provide a summary of various methods available for oral cancer detection. We cover different input image formats, their processing, and the need for segmentation and feature extraction. We further include a list of other conventional strategies. We focus on various AI techniques for detecting oral cancer, including deep learning, machine learning, fuzzy computing, data mining, and genetic algorithms, and evaluates their benefits and drawbacks. The larger part of the articles focused on deep learning (37%) methods, followed by machine learning (32%), genetic algorithms (12%), data mining techniques (10%), and fuzzy computing (9%) for oral cancer detection.
