Adenoid cystic carcinomas are deceptive malignancies that show slow growth and local invasion with recurrences seen many years after diagnosis. Upto 50% of these tumors occur in the intraoral minor salivary glands usually in the hard palate. Buccal mucosal tumors are relatively rare. We determined the incidence of buccal mucosal adenoid cystic carcinoma by reviewing the number of reported cases...

introduction: reconstruction of the oral cavity witha flap design containing the buccal mucosa and buccinator muscle but excluding the facial artery and vein is the topic of these case reports. case reports: this article uses random pattern vertically oriented partial thickness buccinator myomucosal flap for intraoral reconstruction in two cases. the first was for lining the mandibular anterior...

The rate of disappearance of ergotamine from the mouth after buccal administration has been studied in seven subjects. Allowance has been made for non-absorptive losses of the drug due to experimental technique. The absorption of ergotamine across the buccal mucosa appears to be a passive process, pH-dependent but independent of ergotamine concentration or the simultaneous presence of caffeine....
