Objective:
To search for a direct observation method in blood supply system of mandible.
Methods:
Six specimens of mandible were made transparent specimens after the vascular system was perfused with Chinese ink from the common carotid artery, and the blood supply system of mandible were observed and analyzed.
Results:
The distribution of mandibular arteries was distinctly demonstrated in transparent specimens. The normal mandible receives its blood supply from the inferior alveolar artery and the periosteal vessel meshwork.
Conclusion:
The transparent specimen is an effective observation method in blood supply system of mandible.
