Treatment of 88 selected patients with Stages I and II squamous cell carcinoma of the floor of the mouth by monobloc resection has produced a high five year cure rate. The death of one patient in the series postoperatively was considered a surgical one. Disability after such a procedure is minimal, and dental complications are not a factor. Elective irradiation of the neck is recommended in those instances of positive sublingual or submandibular nodes found in the monobloc specimen and in all patients with Stages III and IV lesions. Radiation therapy is recommended for highly anaplastic neoplasms, for instances when speech impairment is important, for lesions in the posterior limits of the floor of the mouth, for edentulous patients without bone invasion, for the treatment of recurrent lesions after operation and for synchronous multiple primary carcinomas of the head and neck if one of which is a carcinoma of the floor of the mouth.

Objective: To describe the cases of oral and maxillofacial tumors (OMFT) resection and defects reconstruction under submandibular intubation (SMI) performed in our institution; secondly, to systematically review and analyze the characteristics of studies about SMI in oral and maxillofacial surgery to estimate the incidence rate of complication.
Method: Data related to all 6 patients included in this study were prospectively collected from November 2016 to November 2023. The tract for endotracheal tube was created by bluntly dissection from the submandibular area to the floor of mouth.

The purpose of this retrospective study was to investigate the clinical characteristics of the broken burs and review our experience with the removal of the broken burs in these cases.
Methods: All patients, who suffered the broken bur remained in the lower jaw due to the extraction of the impacted mandibular third molar and presented to our hospital from July 2019 to July 2024, were included in this retrospective study.

Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.
Rationale: When gland-preserving treatments are unsuccessful, sialoadenectomy is typically conducted for patients afflicted with submandibular gland diseases. The definitive treatment modality for these individuals is the removal of both the gland and the associated ducts. During surgery, the gland and the majority of the ducts can be excised utilizing the lateral transcervical approach, with residual ducts unlikely to develop pathology.
