Which of the following is NOT appropriate for investigating this lesion?

  1. Excisional biopsy / surgical exploration
  2. Incisional biopsy
  3. VELscope (fluorescence screening)
  4. CBCT localization
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: C. VELscope (fluorescence screening)

VELscope uses blue light and optical filters to detect mucosal abnormalities (dysplasia, malignancy) — it cannot evaluate bone or radiopaque foreign bodies. CBCT is the ideal imaging modality, and surgical exploration (excisional) confirms and removes the object.
