    Its posterior border is concave and forms the anterior boundary of the mandibular notch. The lateral surface is smooth, and affords insertion to the temporalis and masseter muscles. Its medial surface gives insertion to the temporalis, and presents a ridge which begins near the apex of the process and runs downward and forward to the inner side ...

  3. Mandible - Wikipedia

    The coronoid process, superior and anterior projection from the ramus. This provides attachment to the temporal muscle. Teeth sit in the upper part of the body of the mandible. The frontmost part of teeth is more narrow and holds front teeth. The back part holds wider and flatter (albeit grooved) teeth primarily for chewing food. [12]

  4. Mandibular notch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandibular_notch

    The mandibular notch, also known as the sigmoid notch, is a groove in the ramus of the mandible. It is the gap between the coronoid process anteriorly and the condyloid process posteriorly. Structure

  5. Mandibular canal - Wikipedia

    The retromolar canal may cause bleeding during surgery in the retromolar region such as removal of mandibular third molar teeth. Other variants include a bifid canal with a branch (~41%): [ 3 ] following the course of the main mandibular canal before re-joining it (forward or buccolingual type); terminating at the apex of a tooth, usually the ...

    The angle of the mandible (a.k.a. gonial angle, Masseteric Tuberosity, and Masseteric Insertion) is located at the posterior border at the junction of the lower border of the ramus of the mandible.

  7. Mandibular symphysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandibular_symphysis

    In human anatomy, the facial skeleton of the skull the external surface of the mandible is marked in the median line by a faint ridge, indicating the mandibular symphysis (Latin: symphysis menti) or line of junction where the two lateral halves of the mandible typically fuse in the first year of life (6–9 months after birth).

  8. Mylohyoid line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mylohyoid_line

    The mylohyoid line is a bony ridge on the internal surface of the body of the mandible.The mylohyoid line extends posterosuperiorly. The mylohyoid line continues as the mylohyoid groove on the internal surface of the ramus.

  9. Temporomandibular joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporomandibular_joint

    When measuring the vertical range of motion, the measurement must be adjusted for the overbite. For example, if the measurement from the edge of the lower front teeth to the edge of the upper front teeth is 40 millimeters and the overbite is 3 millimeters, then the jaw opening is 43 millimeters. During jaw movements, only the mandible moves.
