Italy80 participantsStarted 2018-01-08

Plain-language summary

Aim of this study is to evaluate the post-operative course in patients undergoing diagnostic or therapeutic oral mucosal biopsies. To evaluate the wound healing, all variables connected with the surgery (including post-operative complications) were recorded. To evaluate the psychological and behavioral impact of the post-operative discomfort, two survey tools were administered: OHIP-14 and visual number scale of pain (VNS) were administered at 6h, 7 days and 21 days after biopsy.
