In recent decades, the incidence and prevalence of OSCC have not significantly changed, highlighting the critical need to develop and implement new risk assessment measures. The present study aimed to define argyrophilic proteins of the nucleolar organizer region (AgNOR) cut-off risk points by oral exfoliative cytological smears comparing specialized humans with a convolutional neural network (CNN) system AgNOR Slide-Image Examiner. This study included four experimental groups: control, exposure to carcinogens (alcohol and tobacco), oral potentially malignant disorders, and OSCC. In the first phase, 50 cells were used for AgNOR quantification. In the second phase, AgNOR quantification was established in an automated manner using an AgNOR System - Slide Examiner (captured - bounding-boxed - CNN analysis). In phase 1, the cut-off point for considering a smear as suspicious was established at 3.69 AgNORs/nucleus with sensitivity of 86%, specificity of 93%, and accuracy of 90%. In phase 2, the analysis of the intraclass correlation coefficient of AgNORs attributed to the system and human was 0.896 (95% confidence interval = 0.875-0.915; p < 0.0001), and this quantification with the CNN was 20 min compared to 67 h, considering human analysis. The AgNOR Slide-Image Examiner successfully differentiated the nuclei and accurately quantified the number of NORs in oral cytological smears. The cut-off risk point of 3.69 AgNOR/nucleus indicates a suspicious sample may contribute to improvements in oral cancer screening.</p>","PeriodicalId":9240,"journal":{"name":"Brazilian oral research","volume":"39 ","pages":"e056"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12074076/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144076128","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Participants completed a questionnaire via the Google Forms platform, which gathered information on their socioeconomic status, self-perception of body image, self-assessment of oral health, and self-esteem. Bivariate analysis and logistic regression models were used to evaluate the associations between variables. Variables with p < 0.10 in the bivariate analysis were included in the logistic regression model. Variables with p < 0.05 were retained in the final model. The final logistic regression model revealed that adolescents with a higher socioeconomic status rated their oral health as excellent or good. Additionally, those who reported not living with their parents and had a low level of self-esteem had a poor oral health self-assessment.

Four ultrasonic inserts-Irrisonic, Nitisonic, Ultra X Blue, and iVAC-were attached to an ultrasonic unit, secured in a holder, and operated at a power setting of 15%. A laser scanning vibrometer was used to scan the first four millimeters of each insert. Each measurement, lasting approximately 20 seconds, was repeated ten times per insert and performed at millimeter intervals. Displacement amplitude and frequency data were recorded for each insert. Furthermore, scanning electron microscopy was employed to evaluate the surface finish of the inserts, and their elemental compositions were analyzed using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Analysis of variance and Tukey's test were conducted to compare the performance of the inserts. The displacement amplitudes showed significant differences between inserts and among the scanned points (p < 0.05). All inserts demonstrated ultrasonic vibration frequencies exceeding 20 kHz. EDS analysis revealed that the elemental composition of the E1-Irrisonic tips was consistent with stainless steel. In contrast, the Nitisonic insert displayed a chemical composition characteristic of an equiatomic nickel-titanium (NiTi) alloy, whereas the Ultra X Blue insert contained additional elements beyond NiTi.

Two calibrated reviewers manually tabulated the data, extracting information on title, authorship, keywords, institutions, countries, number of citations, year of publication, journal title, study design, masticatory test, population, and dentition status. VosViewer software generated collaborative network maps, while JAMOVI was used to perform ANOVA and Poisson regression analyses.
