The mylohyoid nerve needs to be blocked during local anaesthesia of the mandibular (lower) teeth to prevent pain during oral procedures. [5] [6] It may not be anaesthetised during a block of the inferior alveolar nerve, causing pain. [1]
Accessory mylohyoid muscles have been seen in some people, which have the same attachments, nerve supply, and function. [6] The mylohyoid muscle may also be split into an anterior portion and a posterior portion, with the sublingual gland occupying the space between these portions. [7] An area of herniation of the sublingual gland, blood ...
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.
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]
The four classical muscles of mastication elevate the mandible (closing the jaw) and move it forward/backward and laterally, facilitating biting and chewing. Other muscles are responsible for opening the jaw, namely the geniohyoid, mylohyoid, and digastric muscles (the lateral pterygoid may play a role).
Muscular branches of the radial nerve; Musculocutaneous nerve; Mylohyoid nerve; Nasociliary nerve; ... This page was last edited on 2 May 2024, at 00:22 (UTC).
Earlier this month, Brian May thought he had torn his gluteus maximus while gardening, but in a lengthy Instagram post the Queen guitarist explained that the injury was actually brought on by ...
The artery passes anterior-ward upon the mylohyoid muscle, coursing inferior to the body of the mandible and deep to the digastric muscle. [citation needed] Here, the artery supplies adjacent muscles and skin; it also forms anastomoses with the sublingual artery and with the mylohyoid branch of the inferior alveolar artery.
