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.

Inclusion Criteria:
Exclusion Criteria:
Since no absolute contraindications to oral biopsies are reported, no exclusion criteria were selected for this study, but if any relative contraindication was present (i.e. bleeding disorders) biopsy was performed after the resolution of the problem

Eighty-four patients were enrolled in this study; four of them were excluded because the clinical records were incomplete. Among the 80 patients left, 30 were males and 50 females, with a mean age of 60.25 years (range 23-88); clinical data about remote pathological history were collected: 31/80 patients did not have any systemic diseases, 22/80 only one disease, 27/80 more than one disease; 36/80 patients did not take any drug, 16/80 only one and 28/80 more than one; 63/80 patients did not smoke, 10/80 were former smokers and 7/80 were smokers.
