Special Stains in Histopathology: An Oral Pathology Perspective
Journal Title: Journal of Dental Health and Oral Research - Year 2021, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Stains play a vital role in any histopathological laboratory. The term "stain" denotes any dye, reagent, or material that is used for colouring tissues and microorganisms to aid in the microscopic study. Hematoxylin and eosin are the basic, routine and universal stains used in all laboratories. But, specific components, structures, or substances of the tissue can accept only a particular specific type of stain based on their chemical and biological structure or nature. In such cases the use of a special stain is inevitable. Various special stains are being used in histopathological laboratories. We conducted a computerized database search in Pubmed and Google scholar to identify and collect data regarding special stains. Here in this article, we present a brief overview of special stains used in oral pathology.
