Study Notes
Specialties in Dentistry and Pathology
- Oral and maxillofacial pathology focuses on diseases affecting the oral cavity, jaws, and related facial structures.
- This specialty integrates aspects of both dentistry and pathology to diagnose and manage conditions.
Types of Biopsies
-
Incisional Biopsy:
- Involves removing a portion of a lesion for analysis.
- Serves as a diagnostic tool to evaluate tissue abnormalities.
-
Excisional Biopsy:
- Entails the complete removal of a lesion along with some surrounding normal tissue.
- Functions both as a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure, often utilized to eliminate cancerous growths.
-
Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy (FNAB):
- Conducted by inserting a thin, hollow needle into an abnormal tissue.
- Aims to gather cells for cytological analysis with minimal invasion.
-
Cone Biopsy (Conization):
- Removes a cone-shaped section of tissue from the cervix.
- Commonly used for diagnosing cervical cancer, allowing examination of deeper tissue layers.
