Mouth cancer is one of several forms of cancer that make up the head and neck cancers category. Mouth cancer, like other head and neck cancers, is frequently treated in the same way. Mouth cancer is a type of cancer that develops in any of the mouth's components (oral cavity). Mouth cancer can develop on any of the following surfaces:
• Lips
• Tongue
• Gums
• Roof of the mouth
• Inner lining of your cheeks
• Floor of your mouth/under your tongue

Head and neck cancer involves the tissues of the head and neck. These may be primary, i.e., start in the head or neck, or secondary, i.e., spread to the neck or neck from other organs. They begin from the salivary gland, sinuses, muscles, or nerves. These cancers most commonly occur in the squamous cell, which is present in the linings of the head and neck. Squamous cell cancer is more often related to the history of smoking and exposure to the Human Papillomavirus.

Overall, Asia, particularly India, accounts for 57.5 percent of global head and neck malignancies. In India, head and neck cancers accounted for 30% of all malignancies. Patients in India have advanced disease in 60 to 80 percent of cases, compared to 40 percent in developed countries.

The usual treatment for facial fractures involves two steps, reduction or "setting of the bone" and fixation. Reduction involves restoring broken pieces to their proper position. In many cases of facial fracture, reduction can be accomplished several days after the injury, once the swelling has subsided.

During surgery, your surgeon removes your jaw tumor or cyst, which may include removing nearby teeth, tissue and jawbone, and sends it to the lab for examination. A pathologist examines the removed tissue and reports a diagnosis during the procedure so that the surgeon can act on this information immediately.

Open TMJ surgery allows your surgeon to see inside your temporomandibular joint (TMJ, or jaw joint) through a cut on your skin. Your surgeon can diagnose and treat problems such as a torn cartilage and damage to the surface of the joint.

Wisdom tooth extraction, also called removal, is a surgical procedure to take out one or more wisdom teeth. These are the four permanent adult teeth located at the back corners of your mouth on the top and bottom.
