title: [Criteria for assessing the functional state of the oral mucosa following the combined treatment of malignant tumors of the maxillofacial area].
abstract: Polarography and thermometry were employed in examination of the buccal mucosa in 62 patients after combined treatment and primary plasty for malignant tumors of the maxillofacial area. Measurements of pO2 and buccal mucosa temperature were found to yield objective data on the function of the accepting bed in restoration surgery for postoperative defects and to be helpful for the prediction of local complications. Preoperative irradiation according to intensive concentrated scheme induces less marked changes in the mucosa, this being of prophylactic value in cases when local complications develop. The possibility of local complications increases when pO2 reduces twofold and lower vs. the initial level before irradiation.
