Abstract :

Biopsy remains a critical diagnostic tool for identifying oral lesions, vital for establishing a definitive diagnosis through the examination of both physical and microscopic tissue abnormalities. Despite technological advancements, biopsy is still the most trusted method among oral healthcare professionals, particularly when clinical, radiographic, and histopathological findings do not align. However, challenges can arise, such as inadequate tissue sampling or the need for deeper analysis. This article explores the skills and potential pitfalls in biopsy procedures, emphasizing the importance of integrating clinical and radiological information to uphold biopsy as the gold standard in diagnosis, even in today's advanced technological landscape.
