Odontological cytology is a diagnostic technique based on the microscopic study of cells or microorganisms present in the oral cavity.
Sample collection for cytology can range from a simple swab with a cotton swab on the lesion area to puncturing the affected region. The obtained samples are properly processed and evaluated to detect any possible cellular abnormalities.
Odontological cytology is a fundamental tool in diagnosing tumors, infections, or other conditions of the oral cavity, as it helps determine their etiology or even their stage if a cancerous change has been detected.
This diagnostic test is a key tool in veterinary oncology, as it can assist in evaluating patients, sometimes even without the need for a biopsy.
At IVeM, we perform cytological studies and interpret the results obtained under the microscope to decide on the best therapeutic procedure for the patient.
