Salivary gland tumors can also occur rarely in the retromolar area, though common near the junction of hard and soft palate, labial mucosa, and buccal mucosa. Most salivary gland tumors in the retromolar pad area are malignant and should be excised. The cystadenoma is a rare, benign, salivary gland tumor. Importantly, incomplete resection of this tumor can lead to recurrence or cervical lymph node metastasis. We reported herein a case of cystadenoma arising in the right retromolar pad area in a 63-year-old male patient who underwent reconstruction using a buccal fat pad flap (BFPF) after the surgical removal of the tumor with a 10-mm margin left a defect with bone exposure. No evidence of recurrence or complication was found at the postoperative, three-year follow-up.

Purpose: The purpose of this diagnostic study was to assess the accuracy and time efficiency of a digital method to draw the denture foundation extension outline on preliminary casts compared with the conventional technique.
Materials And Methods: A total of 28 preliminary edentulous casts with no anatomical landmarks were digitized using a laboratory scanner. The outlining of the entire basal seat of the denture was performed on preliminary casts and digitized.

Introduction: Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is one of the most common salivary gland malignancies, mostly occurs in the major and minor salivary glands in the oral and maxillofacial region. The development of ACC in the retromolar pad is extremely rare, which limits establishing proper diagnosis and management.
Presentation Of Case: A patient described a 2-month history of finding a mass behind the lower left posterior teeth.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to classify the shapes of retromolar pads and assess their morphometric differences using a 3D model.
Materials And Methods: Two hundred fully edentulous or Kennedy Class I partially edentulous patients (400 retromolar pads) were enrolled. Scan data of the definitive mandibular casts produced through functional impressions were obtained using a 3D laser scanner.

Statement Of Problem: Manufacturers of several intraoral scanners have recommended a 2-step strategy for scanning the edentulous mandible. The 2-step technique requires scanning one side first and then moving to the other side. However, whether inconsistency in stitching occurs that results in loss of accuracy or distortion is unclear.
