Abstract

Examining epithelial cells in the mouth cavity is simple and non-invasive with exfoliative cytology. Liquid-based cytology is an additional diagnostic technique that can improve the specificity and sensitivity of conventional cytology. The purpose of our study was to describe the consistency of normal oral mucosa samples obtained with three different tools: the Cytobrush®, dermatological curette, and OralCDx® for liquid-based cytology. Literature review was done, and reporting of the improvements in the field of investigation and diagnosis has been reported. The present communication aims toward comparing three different sampling instruments such as Cytobrush, curette, and OralCDx for liquid-based cytology of the oral mucosa.
