The pterygomandibular ligaments are marked with arrows. Note that in this mouth the lower wisdom teeth have been removed, slightly changing the shape of the pterygomandibular ligaments that usually curve and attach to the mandible around them. The pterygomandibular raphe is a tendinous band [2] [3] formed by the buccopharyngeal fascia.
The pterygomandibular space is a fascial space of the head and neck (sometimes also termed fascial spaces or tissue spaces). It is a potential space in the head and is paired on each side. It is located between the medial pterygoid muscle and the medial surface of the ramus of the mandible .
The buccopharyngeal fascia is a thin lamina given off from the pretracheal fascia. [citation needed] It is the portion of the pretracheal fascia situated posterior and lateral to the pharynx.

This term is sometimes used, and is a collective name for the submasseteric (masseteric), pterygomandibular, superficial temporal and deep temporal spaces. The infratemporal space is the inferior portion of the deep temporal space. The superficial temporal and the deep temporal spaces are sometimes together called the temporal spaces.
By 2023, that figure for young adults had risen nearly seven-fold to 60,567 prescriptions per month, a May 2024 study published in JAMA found. And women made up the majority of that increase. And ...
The sites of origin of the muscles collectively are the pterygoid hamulus (and occasionally the adjoining posterior margin of the medial pterygoid plate) anteriorly, (the posterior margin of) the pterygomandibular raphe, the posterior extremity of the mylohyoid line of mandible, and (negligibly) the side of the tongue.
