<p>Principles of oral biopsy: part I<br>Lieutenant Gretchen Folk, DC, USN, Captain Duane Schafer, DC, USN, Commander David Bitonti, DC, USN, and Commander James Castle, DC, USN<br><br>Patient examination<br>Oral lesions must be identified and appropriately characterized so that specific therapy, if warranted, can be initiated, leading to resolution of the lesion. When a lesion is detected, several steps should be undertaken to aid in the formation of a differential diagnosis. These steps include reviewing the health history of the patient, history or timeline of the specific lesion, clinical and/or radiographic appearance, as well as any appropriate laboratory studies.
