Abstract

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the oral cavity is a frequent malignancy with increasing global incidence. Among its sub-sites, the retromolar trigone poses unique surgical and reconstructive challenges due to its anatomical complexity and proximity to critical structures. The buccinator myomucosal flap (BMF) has emerged as a reliable reconstructive option for moderate intraoral defects. This article reviews the etiology, clinical behavior, and management of oral SCC with a focus on retromolar trigone tumors. It further highlights the anatomical features, technical variants, and clinical applications of the BMF in oral cavity reconstruction, emphasizing its utility in restoring both function and aesthetics with minimal donor site morbidity.
