Plain-English summary
A 7-year-old mixed-breed dog was treated for a tumor in its mouth using a special surgical technique called crescentic osteotomy. This method involved removing the tumor from the lower jaw, and the surgery was successful. The dog's owner reported that the dog recovered well without any long-term issues or signs of the tumor coming back. This technique could be a good option for other dogs with similar oral tumors when carefully chosen by a veterinarian.

Abstract
Rim resection of mandibular tumours and a simplified technique using a biradial osteotomy blade for maxillary tumours in dogs has not previously been described. The medical records and radiographs of dogs with mandibular (n = 3) or maxillary (n = 1) tumours resected using crescentic osteotomies were reviewed. The owners of two of the dogs reported excellent outcomes without any long-term complications or tumour recurrence. The goal of this study was to describe the surgical technique for performing a crescentic osteotomy for resection of maxillary and mandibular tumours. This technique for resection of mandibular and maxillary tumours is clinically applicable in carefully selected cases.
