The hard and soft tissues of the oral cavity are frequent sites of benign and malignant pathology. Diagnosing oral cavity lesions frequently requires histopathological evaluation of affected tissue obtained via biopsy. While several biopsy procedures are available to the practitioner, a working knowledge of commonly encountered pathological processes within the oral cavity is required to develop a procedural plan that facilitates optimum outcomes for patients with oral cavity lesions. This activity reviews the types and methods of biopsies commonly performed within the oral cavity and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in caring for patients with oral cavity lesions.
