Marginal mandibulectomy involves resection of mandibular body with overlying soft tissues whilemaintaining inferior cortex of mandible and its continuity. It may lead to numerous problems associatedwith mastication, speech and deglutition and esthetics. Problems associated with such defect dependupon location and extent of surgical resection.
