OP "Above & Beyond" Member (500+ posts) Joined: Aug 2008 Posts: 531 | I have another question so I can look it up...what is it called when the whole bottom of your mouth is removed no bone just down to the bone from one side to the other? I am not sure I am thinking to the gums and over (as I presently have no teeth and wear dentures). It would be helpful for me to know what the medical jargon would be for this proceedure. Then I can try to piece together and familiarize myself with that part of my proceedure.
Thanks
Dianne
