Sometimes the buccal space is reported to be the most commonly involved fascial space by dental abscesses, [2] although other sources report it is the submandibular space. [1] Infections originating in either maxillary or mandibular teeth can spread into the buccal space, usually maxillary molars (most commonly) and premolars or mandibular ...
The muscles of mastication are enclosed in a layer of fascia, formed by cervical fascia ascending from the neck which divides at the inferior border of the mandible to envelope the area. Each masticator space also contains the sections of the mandibular division of the trigeminal nerve and the internal maxillary artery. [4]
A buccal exostosis is an exostosis (bone prominence) on the buccal surface (cheek side) of the alveolar ridge of the maxilla or mandible. More commonly seen in the maxilla than the mandible, buccal exostoses are considered to be site specific. [ 2 ]
The submasseteric space may be involved by infections that spread from the buccal space. [1] Sometimes mandibular fractures in the region of the angle of the mandible may cause an infection of the submasseteric space. [ 1 ]
The submandibular space is a fascial space of the head and neck (sometimes also termed fascial spaces or tissue spaces). It is a potential space , and is paired on either side, located on the superficial surface of the mylohyoid muscle between the anterior and posterior bellies of the digastric muscle . [ 1 ]
This is a list of definitions of commonly used terms of location and direction in dentistry. This set of terms provides orientation within the oral cavity, much as anatomical terms of location provide orientation throughout the body.
The communications of each pterygomandibular space are: [1] to the buccal space anteriorly; to the lateral pharyngeal space and peritonsillar space medially (around the medial pterygoid muscle). to the submasseteric space laterally (around the ramus of the mandible) to the parotid space posteriorly; to the deep temporal/infratemporal space ...
