Abstract
With the knowledge and techniques gained from orthognathic surgery and more precise imaging techniques, it has become more practical to carry out rim or marginal resections for some malignant tumours of the alveolus to preserve mandibular continuity and yet have adequate tumour margins. This is of great functional and cosmetic importance to the patient. A study of 11 patients is presented to analyse criteria for carrying out this procedure.Entities:
