Abstract
It is possible to identify mandibular invasion in almost all cases of oral squamous carcinoma by combining clinical examination, radiologic findings, and findings on periosteal stripping. This helps surgeons to make an informed preoperative and intraoperative decision about mandibular conservation. However, one should be careful when evaluating bone involvement on periosteal stripping as this cannot be recommended as a method of choice due to fear of tumor dissemination and violation of oncologic principles.
