Abstract

The removal of tissue from a living organism for the purposes of diagnosis and therapy is referred to as a biopsy. A proper biopsy process necessitates adequate training and decent hand skills. There are different biopsy processes, each with its own set of benefits and drawbacks. As a result, the dental practitioner must select the right biopsy process in order to obtain a confirmed diagnosis.
