Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Histopathology practice : Histopathology practice is the microscopic approach that supports diagnosis and understanding of oral and maxillofacial diseases.
  • Oral clinical presentations : Oral clinical presentations are the mouth-based manifestations where oral pathologies can be observed clinically.
  • Oral histology richness : Oral histology richness refers to the variety of tissues in the mouth that can be involved in disease.
  • Differential diagnosis : Differential diagnosis is the clinical comparison process needed because oral pathology classification is difficult.
