In adults, the depth of the notch varies with an average of 2.0±1.1 mm. [2] [3] Its clinical importance stems primarily from its close relationship with the facial artery, a major vessel supplying blood to the face. The facial artery typically crosses the inferior border of the mandible just anterior to the masseter muscle's insertion. In most ...
In 1952, Posselt carried out some investigations on 65 dental students between the age of 20–29, in an attempt to examine the capacity of the mandible for movement in the occlusal and sagittal planes. [2] Since the mandible can go through a vast number of different movement paths, Posselt decided to start by studying the "border movements", a ...
The terms alveolar border, alveolar crest, and alveolar margin describe the extreme rim of the bone nearest to the crowns of the teeth. [ 7 ] [ 8 ] [ 9 ] The portion of alveolar bone between two adjacent teeth is known as the interdental septum (or interdental bone).
The vermilion border (sometimes spelled vermillion border), also called margin or zone, is the normally sharp demarcation between the lip and the adjacent normal skin. It represents the change in the epidermis from highly keratinized external skin to less keratinized internal skin. It has no sebaceous glands, sweat glands, or facial hair. [1] [2]
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.
This nerve runs inside the mandible, within the inferior alveolar canal below the mandibular teeth, giving off branches to all the lower teeth (inferior dental plexus). [ 5 ] [ 6 ] The oral mucosa of the gingiva (gums) on the facial (labial) aspect of the maxillary incisors , canines and premolar teeth is innervated by the superior labial ...
the inferior border of the mandible (lingual surface) inferiorly; the medial pterygoid muscle medially (the space is superficial to medial pterygoid) the ascending ramus of the mandible laterally (the space is deep to the ramus of the mandible)
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]
