Abstract
Surgical excision of a mucocele and oral biopsies are common diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in oral and maxillofacial surgical (OMFS) outpatient departments. In this review, we have explored the usage of chalazion forceps for these procedures and highlighted the history, benefits and the technique of using this simple, widely-available tool, which increases effectiveness and efficiency for the clinician and assistant.
