Does buccal Mucosa Elasticity influence Surgical Margin Determination in Buccal Carcinoma Resection?
Buccal mucosa elasticity increased considerably at MMO in patients with buccal carcinoma. This elasticity should be taken into account when calculating adequate surgical margins for transoral resection of buccal carcinoma.
The scales showed their reliability and validity. They could be employed for assessing adolescent attitudes to these priority intervention areas, for carrying out studies on their mediating role on adopting behaviour, and for designing and evaluating health programs.
