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 mandible has two main holes , found on both its left and right sides: The mandibular foramen, is above the mandibular angle in the middle of each ramus. The mental foramen sits on either side of the mental protuberance (chin) on the body of mandible, usually inferior to the apices of the mandibular first and second premolars. As mandibular ...
The forensic term for the midpoint of the mandibular angle is the gonion. The gonion is a cephalometric landmark located at the lowest, posterior, and lateral point on the angle. [1] This site is at the apex of the maximum curvature of the mandible, where the ascending ramus becomes the body of the mandible.
Body of hyoid bone and median ridge: Artery: Mylohyoid branch of inferior alveolar artery and submental artery of facial artery: Nerve: Mylohyoid nerve, from inferior alveolar branch of mandibular nerve: Actions: Raises oral cavity floor, elevates hyoid, elevates tongue, depresses mandible: Identifiers; Latin: musculus mylohyoideus: TA98: A04.2 ...
The buccal nerve (long buccal nerve) is a sensory nerve of the face arising from the mandibular nerve (CN V3) (which is itself a branch of the trigeminal nerve).It conveys sensory information from the skin of the cheek, and parts of the oral mucosa, periodontium, and gingiva.
The mandibular first molar is the tooth located distally from both the mandibular second premolars of the mouth but mesially from both mandibular second molars. It is located on the mandibular arch of the mouth, and generally opposes the maxillary first molars and the maxillary 2nd premolar. This arrangement is known as Class I occlusion.
Its medial surface gives insertion to the temporalis, and presents a ridge which begins near the apex of the process and runs downward and forward to the inner side of the last molar tooth. Between this ridge and the anterior border is a grooved triangular area, the upper part of which gives attachment to the temporalis, the lower part to some ...
External oblique line of the mandible (shown in red) A vertical incision is performed on the inferior and lateral sides of the soft tissue in the mouth at a distance from the adjacent gums . [ 17 ] The cut is performed from the mandibular ramus to the mandibular body along the external oblique line, down to the mandibular first molar region ...
