| Abstrakt: | The practice of hand-off orientation in oral pathology plays a pivotal role in ensuring efficient and high-quality patient care. Given the intricate nature of oral health, the seamless transition of patient care from one healthcare provider to another is critical. Hand-off orientation in oral pathology begins with a comprehensive referral of oral biopsy specimens from a general dentist or clinical specialist to the oral pathology laboratory. Obtaining detailed information about oral biopsy tissue and complete patient information from clinicians is indeed crucial for a variety of reasons, including accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. This collaborative approach ensures that patients receive timely and accurate care, reducing the potential for misdiagnosis or treatment delays. In the field of oral pathology, effective hand-off orientation is a cornerstone of patient safety and positive outcomes. Competing Interests: There are no conflicts of interest.
