Abstract

Over the past two decades, a multitude of technological advancements have been integrated into histopathology laboratories, offering tools to enhance standardization and ensure occupational safety. Digital tracking plays a central role in guiding the entire process, from labeling cassettes and slides to the final stages of generating whole slide images, and storage of tissue blocks and tissue sections.

Versatile equipment has effectively replaced time-consuming manual tasks, which were susceptible to errors and material loss. Currently, collaborative robots are assuming responsibilities once exclusively carried out by humans. The emergence of these novel technologies is anticipated to help in improving oral pathology laboratory practices.
