Abstract

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of an artificial intelligence (AI)-integrated laser system in distinguishing between healthy and diseased oral soft tissues during minimally invasive surgical procedures. Methods:This prospective in vitro study involved 60 soft tissue biopsy specimens (30 healthy, 30 diseased, including hyperplasia and dysplasia). Near-infrared (NIR) diode laser was paired with a deep learning algorithm trained on spectral and thermal feedback data. The AI model was assessed for sensitivity, specificity, and real-time classification accuracy in differentiating tissues during laser ablation. Results:The AI-laser system assured an overall classification accuracy of 92.1%. Sensitivity and specificity of the diseased tissue detection was 93.3% and 90.8%, respectively. Thermal feedback self-regulation of power output, minimizing collateral damage was (<50 µm peripheral necrosis) compared to standard diode lasers (>100 µm). Conclusion:AI-integrated laser enabled real-time, selective ablation with high precision, reducing tissue trauma surgical complications.
