This Red Dye Writes About Oral Submucous Fibrosis In Greater Detail
Various dyes are used for staining sections of Oral Submucous Fibrosis (OSF). Picrosirius red stain under polarizing microscopy shows staining the finer fibres and correlation with clinicofunctional staging. Ref: Ceena DE, Bastian TS, Ashok L, Annigeri RG.
