Mast Cell Density in Oral Lesions using Metachromatic Stains: A Comparative Study
Introduction: Mast Cells (MCs) are bone marrow derived granular cells, distributed throughout the body near blood vessels, nerves and subepithelial areas. MC granules stain by basic dyes but are most readily demonstrated by metachromatic dyes such as toluidine blue and azure A. Aim: This study focu...
