Explain the decision
1 / 18
How should you decide whether to observe an oral lesion or obtain a biopsy?
Observe:
A likely self-limited lesion can be observed with a review date.
Investigate persistence:
Persistence beyond two weeks after removing a suspected cause or empiric care generally warrants biopsy/referral.
Act sooner:
Suspicious lesions merit earlier evaluation.
