Abstract

Reconstruction of the oral cavity is an intricate subject that reflects the complexity of the oral cavity itself. There is no perfect reconstruction. Presented here are the current optimal choices for the various regions within the oral cavity. We are constantly seeking to improve these reconstructions in an effort to restore optimal function to patients unfortunate enough to require surgical excision of this most elaborate of anatomic structures.
