Biopsy is used for diagnosing the diseases of oral and maxillofacial region and is carried out in the department of oral medicine. There are two types of biopsies such as excisional and incisional biopsy and it depends on the type and size of the lesion. Excisional biopsy is the complete excision of the lesion and is indicated for lesions like traumatic fibroma, mucocele, pyogenic granuloma, etc., Incisional biopsy is removing a small portion of the lesion along with the normal tissue and is indicated for various lesions like leukoplakia, lichen planus, oral submucous fibrosis, etc., prior to the commencement of therapy.
