A bstract — Clinical pathology is concerned with specialized investigations and tests which are used to refine the process of diagnosis. Biopsy, cytology, blood examination, microbiological and biochemical tests are of particular relevance to dental practice and are a valuable aid to the diagnosis of oral disease. The dental clinician should be familiar with the principles of these investigations and fully understand the significance of the data which they yield.
