Cranial Bones: Lateral View01:27

Cranial Bones: Lateral View

4.1K
The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
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...

The Hyoid Bone01:12

The Hyoid Bone

4.1K
The hyoid bone is a small U-shaped bone located in the upper neck at the level of the inferior mandible, with its tips pointing posteriorly. It does not directly articulate with any other bone in the body. The hyoid acts as the attachment site for the tongue, the larynx, and the pharynx. It is held in position by a series of small muscles attached from above or below. These muscles help to move the hyoid up/down or forward/back in coordination with movements of the tongue, larynx, and pharynx...

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View01:14

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View

4.5K
The superior view of the cranium shows the frontal and paired parietal bones.
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,...

Tooth Anatomy01:21

Tooth Anatomy

1.8K
The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...

Assessment of the Mouth01:26

Assessment of the Mouth

828
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.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Lingual mandibular bone depression (LMBD) is a rare developmental jaw lesion. Cross-sectional imaging is preferred for diagnosis, though surgical exploration may be needed.

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology
  • Dental Anatomy
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Osteolytic lesions in the jaw angle present diagnostic challenges.
  • Lingual mandibular bone depression (LMBD) is one such lesion requiring differentiation.
  • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate therapeutic management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To characterize lingual mandibular bone depression (LMBD) in a patient cohort.
  • To differentiate LMBD from other jaw lesions using imaging.
  • To establish optimal diagnostic imaging modalities for LMBD.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of radiological images.
  • Examination of 21 patients diagnosed with LMBD.
  • Evaluation of lesion characteristics and location.

Main Results:

  • LMBD predominantly occurred in the jaw angle region.
  • Cross-sectional imaging successfully differentiated LMBD from salivary tissue in two cases.
  • One LMBD case influenced the fracture line in mandibular trauma.

Conclusions:

  • LMBD is primarily a developmental mandibular anomaly with infrequent pathological significance.
  • Cross-sectional imaging offers superior visualization of LMBD compared to plain radiography.
  • Surgical exploration is sometimes necessary for definitive LMBD diagnosis.
