Oral Cavity01:11

Oral Cavity

3.9K
The oral cavity, or the mouth, is a complex structure in humans that plays a vital role in our day-to-day lives. Its role is not only in chewing and swallowing food; it also plays a role in speech and facial expressions.
Teeth: The teeth are the hardest structures in our bodies. Humans have two sets of teeth throughout their lifetime: deciduous (baby) teeth and permanent teeth. Each tooth consists of several parts: the crown (visible part), the root (embedded in the jaw), enamel (hard outer...

Assessment of the Mouth01:26

Assessment of the Mouth

1.5K
A thorough mouth assessment, including inspection and palpation of the lips, gums, tongue, tonsils, uvula, and pharynx, is crucial in detecting potential health issues. Diseases ranging from oral cancer to systemic conditions like diabetes could be identified early through careful oral examination. This article provides a detailed guide on conducting a comprehensive mouth assessment.
Mouth Inspection
The inspection begins with visually examining the mouth for symmetry, color, and size.

The Tongue and Taste Buds00:49

The Tongue and Taste Buds

42.2K
The surface of the tongue is covered with various small bumps called papillae, which either distribute what has been ingested (filiform papillae) or contain the sensory taste (or gustatory) receptor cells (fungiform, circumvallate, and foliate papillae). Embedded within each taste-related papilla are the taste buds—clusters of 30 to 100 gustatory receptor cells.

Tongue

3.9K
The human tongue is a fascinating and complex organ, responsible for various essential functions such as swallowing, speech, and taste. It is also subject to various conditions and diseases. In this article, we delve into the anatomy of the tongue, its roles, and some common conditions that can affect it.
Anatomical Position in the Oral Cavity
The tongue is located within the oral cavity, also known as the mouth. It is attached to the floor of the mouth by a fold of mucous membrane called the...

Deglutition01:25

Deglutition

7.7K
Swallowing, otherwise known as deglutition, facilitates the transport of food from the mouth to the stomach. It is a multifaceted process that involves both the tongue and the muscles of the throat and esophagus. Saliva and mucus aid in this process, which takes approximately 4 to 8 seconds for semi-solid or solid food and around 1 second for liquids or very soft food.
Swallowing can be divided into three stages: the voluntary phase, the pharyngeal phase, and the esophageal phase. Although the...

Pharynx01:20

Pharynx

9.0K
The pharynx, a tubular structure framed by skeletal muscle and lined with mucous membrane, extends continuously from the nasal cavities. It is segmented into three major areas: the nasopharynx, oropharynx, and laryngopharynx.
Nasopharynx
The nasopharynx, bordered by the conchae of the nasal cavity, serves exclusively as an air conduit. In its superior region, the pharyngeal tonsils or adenoids are located. These tonsils are clusters of lymphoid reticular tissue akin to a lymph node. The precise...

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Otorhinolaryngology
  • Craniofacial Surgery

Background:

  • Cleft lip deformities invariably involve nasal deformities of varying severity.
  • A comprehensive three-dimensional anatomical understanding of the cleft nose is crucial for surgical planning.
  • Associated nasal deformities significantly impact patient aesthetics and nasal function.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the key considerations for secondary rhinoplasty in patients with cleft lip.
  • To emphasize the importance of anatomical understanding in cleft nose repair.
  • To detail the goals and essential maneuvers for optimizing cleft rhinoplasty outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Review of anatomical principles specific to the cleft nose.
  • Discussion of surgical sequencing, prioritizing orthognathic surgery before nasal surgery.
  • Highlighting techniques for secondary rhinoplasty, including septal reconstruction.

Main Results:

  • Proper surgical sequencing, with orthognathic surgery preceding nasal surgery, enhances overall results.
  • Secondary rhinoplasty aims to alleviate nasal obstruction, improve symmetry, and refine nasal aesthetics.
  • Management of nasal scarring and webbing is a critical component of cleft rhinoplasty.

Conclusions:

  • A thorough understanding of cleft nose anatomy is fundamental for successful surgical repair.
  • Strategic surgical planning, including appropriate timing of orthognathic and rhinoplasty procedures, is essential.
  • Septal reconstruction is a pivotal technique in achieving optimal functional and aesthetic outcomes in cleft rhinoplasty.
