Mylohyoid ridge is a ridge on the inner side of the bone of the lower jaw extending from the junction of the two halves of the bone in front of the last molar on each side. When there is loss of posterior teeth, the alveolar ridge gets resorbed, causing extremely sharp ridge and making the mylohyoid ridge prominent.
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. The mylohyoid muscle originates from the anterior (front) part of the mylohyoid line. [1]
The mylohyoid nerve is a mixed (motor-sensory) [1] branch of the inferior alveolar nerve (which is a branch of the mandibular nerve (CN V 3) that is itself a branch of the trigeminal nerve (CN V)). [ 2 ] [ 1 ] It arises just before it enters the mandibular foramen .
It issues a branch (the mylohyoid nerve) [contradictory] before entering the mandibular foramen [2]: 543 to come to pass in the mandibular canal within the mandible. Passing through the canal, it issues sensory branches for the molar and second premolar teeth; the branches first form the inferior dental plexus which then gives off small ...
The mylohyoid muscle or diaphragma oris is a paired muscle of the neck. It runs from the mandible to the hyoid bone , forming the floor of the oral cavity of the mouth . [ 1 ] It is named after its two attachments near the molar teeth .

Mylohyoid: by its own nerve, a branch of the inferior alveolar (from the mandibular division of trigeminal nerve), which arises just before the parent nerve enters the mandibular foramen, pierces the sphenomandibular ligament, and runs forward on the inferior surface of the mylohyoid, supplying it and the anterior belly of the digastric.
