Surgical extended resection is the main treatment of gingival cancer, which can lead to anterior mandibular defect including mouth floor and mandible and mucosa of lower lip. According to the size of the defect, t he common repair method is free musculocutaneous flap with vascular pedicle or pedicle flap. We present a method of repairing mandibular anterior tooth defect with an island flap pedicled with the mental artery. PMID:33683978 | DOI:10.1177/0145561320987039 View on the web Inoreader.
