    The mandible in contrast has a relatively poor blood supply, which deteriorates with increasing age. The cortical plates are thick and there is a medullary cavity. The sites of the mandible most commonly affected by OM are (decreasing order of frequency) the body, the symphysis, the angle, the ramus and finally the condyle.

  3. Temporomandibular joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporomandibular_joint

    The lower joint compartment formed by the mandible and the articular disc is involved in rotational movement—this is the initial movement of the jaw when the mouth opens. The upper joint compartment formed by the articular disc and the temporal bone is involved in translational movement—this is the secondary gliding motion of the jaw as it ...

    Post radiation maxillary bone osteonecrosis is something that is found more in the lower jaw (mandible) rather than the maxilla (upper jaw) this is because there are many more blood vessels in the upper jaw. [7] The symptoms of this are very similar to the symptoms of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). Patients are in a lot of ...

  6. Dentomandibular sensorimotor dysfunction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dentomandibular_Sensori...

    Dentomandibular sensorimotor dysfunction (DMSD) is a medical condition involving the mandible (lower jaw), upper three cervical (neck) vertebrae, and the surrounding muscle and nerve areas. There is a concentrated nerve center in this area called the trigeminal nucleus. This major pathway of nerves controls pain signals from the teeth, face ...

  7. Inferior alveolar nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferior_alveolar_nerve

    The inferior alveolar nerves supply sensation to the lower teeth, [2]: 519 and, via the mental nerve, sensation to the chin and lower lip. [citation needed] The mylohyoid nerve is a motor nerve supplying the mylohyoid and the anterior belly of the digastric. [citation needed] [contradictory]

  8. Mandibular fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandibular_fracture

    Mandible fracture causes vary by the time period and the region studied. In North America, blunt force trauma (a punch) is the leading cause of mandible fracture [37] whereas in India, motor vehicle collisions are now a leading cause. [38] On battle grounds, it is more likely to be high velocity injuries (bullets and shrapnel). [39]

  9. Toothache - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toothache

    Sometimes the symptoms reported in the history are misleading and point the examiner to the wrong area of the mouth. For instance, sometimes people may mistake pain from pulpitis in a lower tooth as pain in the upper teeth, and vice versa. In other instances, the apparent examination findings may be misleading and lead to the wrong diagnosis ...
