PURPOSE: This study examined patterns of invasion of lower gingiva cancer into the
mandible. Our goal was to clarify the most common routes for gingival squamous cell

subjects were 176 patients with lower gingival squamous cell carcinoma who underwent
mandibulectomy; all tumors were examined histopathologically. The method of
mandibulectomy was decided on the basis of conventional plain radiographic and computed …
