Abstract

The completion of human genome project has been a landmark event in the development of diagnostic pathology and personalized medicine. Like other fields of medicine, oral pathology also tends to show a paradigm shift from conventional diagnostic techniques to a molecular based format. Omics based molecular techniques can be accurately used for diagnosis, prognosis, risk analysis and treatment of various oral lesions especially oral cancer. This will go a long way in providing a more precise diagnosis which in turn will give the patient a risk free treatment protocol tailored for his individual needs. The paper analyses the evolution of oral pathological diagnostic techniques with an impetus into the current omics based techniques and a peep into the future development prospects.
