Survey of tissue-diagnostic services in United States dental schools--1985.
Tissue-diagnostic services in United States dental schools were surveyed to determine activities during 1985. Results were compared with those of similar surveys conducted in 1953, 1958, 1969, 1975, and 1980. A continuing increase in the number of specimens processed has occurred, and there has been a parallel increase in the number of malignant specimens noted. The percentage of malignant specimens in relation to total specimens processed has not changed significantly.
