The Journal of Dermatologic Surgery and Oncology
|November 1, 1994
Abstract
Background:
Biopsy of mucosal lesions can be carried out by means of several methods.
Objective:
To describe a combination technique for the biopsy of mucosal lesions.
Methods:
The combined effect of a chalazion forceps with a 4-mm punch allows the physicians to work on a stabilized, bloodless, and therefore simplified field.
Results:
A preliminary suture with a 4-0 catgut chromic is the key step in assuring a safe post-operative hemostasis.
Conclusion:
This technique allows us to perform accurate and safe oral mucosal biopsies without any major side effects.

01:14Assessing Body Temperature - Oral
Here are the steps to accurately measure oral temperature using an electronic thermometer:
Step 1:
Start by practicing proper hand hygiene to prevent the spread of microorganisms.
Step 2:
Take the thermometer out of the charging unit, switch it on, and wait for the ready sign.
Step 3:
Gently slide the probe cover until a click is heard. This simple action prevents cross-contamination and ensures the correct placement of the probe cover.
Step 4:
Instruct the patient to open their mouth and place...

01:26Assessment of the Mouth
A thorough mouth assessment, including inspection and palpation of the lips, gums, tongue, tonsils, uvula, and pharynx, is crucial in detecting potential health issues. Diseases ranging from oral cancer to systemic conditions like diabetes could be identified early through careful oral examination. This article provides a detailed guide on conducting a comprehensive mouth assessment.
