Articulations of the Vertebral Column

2.6K
In addition to being held together by the intervertebral discs, adjacent vertebrae also articulate with each other at synovial joints formed between the superior and inferior articular processes called zygapophysial joints (facet joints). These are plane joints that provide for only limited motions between the vertebrae. The orientation of the articular processes at these joints varies in different regions of the vertebral column and serves to determine the types of motions available in each...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

The antilingula (AntiL) landmark on the mandibular ramus shows specific distances that vary by gender and side. The A-AntiL distance is a reliable intraoperative measurement point.

Area of Science:

  • Anatomy
  • Radiology
  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Background:

  • The antilingula (AntiL) is a key landmark on the mandibular ramus.
  • Understanding its anatomical relationships is crucial for surgical procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the antilingula and related mandibular ramus landmarks using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).
  • To statistically evaluate distances from the antilingula to other ramus landmarks based on gender, side, and skeletal patterns.

Main Methods:

  • CBCT images from 37 patients (74 mandibular rami) were analyzed.
  • Key landmarks including the antilingula (AntiL), anterior (A), posterior (P), superior (S), and inferior (I) ramus borders were identified.
  • Distances (A-AntiL, P-AntiL, S-AntiL, I-AntiL) were measured and statistically analyzed.

Main Results:

  • The A-AntiL distance was significantly longer on the right side (14.69 mm) than the left (13.97 mm).
  • Males exhibited longer AntiL-P, AntiL-I, and S-I distances compared to females.
  • No significant differences in measurements were found across skeletal patterns (Class I, II, III).
  • Gender and S-I distance showed a strong positive correlation (r=0.667).
  • A-AntiL and A-P distances were also strongly correlated (r=0.796).

Conclusions:

  • Antilingula-related distances do not significantly differ among skeletal patterns.
  • The A-AntiL distance is identified as a favorable and reliable measuring point for surgical operations.
