Hence, in cases of epithelioma spreading on to the alveolus, a bridge of bone should be left below whenever it is possible. The mucous membrane must be incised around the ulcer after extraction of the necessary teeth and the included portion of bone removed by vertical saw-cuts joined transversely below; the final division of the transverse cut is best effected by a chisel. Access to the part may be gained in various ways according to circumstances. In most cases it is best to carry a curved incision along the lower margin of the jaw and to turn a flap upwards; in some however it may be more convenient, both for the operation on the bone and also for the operation on the tongue, or whatever other part the disease is spreading from, to split the cheek outwards towards the masseter. The various incisions required for these cases will be described either presently in speaking of excision of the lower jaw or later on in speaking of diseases of the tongue and floor of the mouth. The point which we wish to emphasise here is that whenever possible a bridge of bone should be left intact connecting the anterior and posterior parts of the jaw, and this is usually most conveniently done by an incision below the jaw and turning up the tissues over it. Tumours growing elsewhere than in the alveolus usually require removal of the affected portion of the jaw, and, according to the extent and seat of the tumour, the following operations may be required: 1. Excision of one-half of the jaw. 2. Excision of the horizontal ramus or portions of it on one side of the angle. 3. Excision of the symphysis. 4. Excision of the entire jaw. Removal of o...
