The Oral Diseases Clinic offers you a unique comprehensive management
service for common and uncommon mouth ailments consisting of clinical
examination and diagnosis supported by a comprehensive array of
laboratory analysis including the sampling and interpretation of tissue
specimens and cytology specimens including state of the art precision
mucosal brushings for liquid-based cytology (especially useful in cancer
screening). All investigation can be supplemented by blood analysis and
immunology investigations.

Special techniques include immunofluorescence investigations for oral blistering disease. Professor Hille performs and interprets the laboratory himself and as such he has an excellent handle on the various natures of the many oral diseases that can affect a person. He places your diagnosis in the correct perspective of your general health condition and institutes appropriate, effective treatment and monitoring, or arrange for a suitable referral if necessary.
