Abstract:
We describe the modified medial opening to avoid blind procedures and to ensure periosteal dissection. The mucosal incision started behind the second molar and then wings laterally and forward at the lateral aspect. The medial subperiosteal dissection begins at the lingual border of the retromolar triangle. Minimal medial subperiosteal tunneling is performed only to identify the lingula. A medial osteotomy is performed above and 5 to 6 mm posterior to the lingula.

Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...
