Thirty percent of patients used analgesic in the day of the biopsy and there was notany relationship between the average level of patient's pain and the location of the lesion removal, type of biopsy, typeof coverage, maximum diameter and type of the lesions (P > 0.05).CONCLUSIONS:Pain after biopsy from oral mucosal lesion is mild to moderate. http://johoe.kmu.ac.ir/index.php/johoe/article/view/13/22BiopsyPainOral Mucosa |
