| Abstract: | Mandibular resection for oral cancers has significant aesthetic and functional sequelae. A reliable preoperative predictor
of mandibular invasion is required to guide the need for and extent of mandibular resection. An orthopantomogram of the mandible
is an accurate, reliable, cost-effective predictor of bony involvement except for central arch lesions. The feasibility of
outer table rim mandibulectomy alone in patients with floor of mouth tumors needs to be examined carefully.
