Summary

For certain changes in the oral mucosa a histopathological examination of the affected tissue is indicated to confirm the diagnosis. The gold standard is the biopsy by scalpel. The aim of this study is to compare the alternative method of tissue sampling using the erbium doped yttrium aluminium garnet (Er:YAG) laser with the gold Standard.
