A Smart Dental Care Application for Early Oral Cancer Detection and Clinical Management

Abstract

Oral cancer remains a serious public health issue,
especially in regions where tobacco and alcohol consumption
are common. Early detection plays a crucial role in improving
survival rates, yet many cases are diagnosed late due to limited
screening facilities and insufficient access to specialists.
This paper presents DentCare, an integrated dental healthcare
application that combines AI-assisted oral cancer screening with
patient–doctor management and orthodontic treatment monitoring.
The screening module is accessible only to verified medical
professionals, ensuring ethical and reliable clinical use.
Beyond screening, DentCare supports patient record management,
appointment scheduling, and braces treatment monitoring
using image comparison techniques. By integrating diagnostic
support with healthcare management in a secure digital platform,
DentCare aims to improve early diagnosis, simplify clinical
workflows, and promote continuous dental care.
