The Hyoid Bone01:12

The Hyoid Bone

2.4K
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: Lateral View01:27

Cranial Bones: Lateral View

2.4K
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...

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View01:14

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View

2.5K
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,...

Overview of the Skull01:08

Overview of the Skull

4.9K
The cranium (skull) is the skeletal structure of the head that supports the face and protects the brain. It is subdivided into the facial bones and the brain case, or cranial vault. The facial bones underlie the facial structures, form the nasal cavity, enclose the eyeballs, and support the teeth of the upper and lower jaws.
The cranial vault surrounds and protects the brain and houses the middle and inner ear structures. This cavity is bounded superiorly by the rounded top of the skull, which...

Tooth Anatomy01:21

Tooth Anatomy

640
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...

Bone Markings01:26

Bone Markings

5.5K
Bones have various surface features that help form joints and attach to other soft tissues. Depending on the function, bone markings are categorized into articulating projections, processes for attachment, depressions, and openings.
Articulating Projections
Articulating projections are found where two bones meet to form a joint. These structures are usually found at the ends of bones. The largest articulation is a rounded projection called the head, supported by a narrow neck at the ends of...

Area of Science:

  • Anatomy
  • Radiology
  • Oral Medicine

Background:

  • The double coronoid process (DCP) is an exceptionally rare anatomical finding.
  • Existing literature reports only one previously documented case of DCP.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the discovery of a DCP in a patient.
  • To discuss the anatomical, radiological, and clinical features associated with this rare condition.

Main Methods:

  • A 61-year-old female patient underwent panoramic radiography (PR) for dental assessment.
  • Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) were utilized for detailed evaluation.

Main Results:

  • PR revealed a suspicious radiopaque area, confirmed as DCP by CBCT.
  • MRI assessed soft tissues and the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), showing no significant abnormalities.

Conclusions:

  • DCP is an extremely rare mandibular anomaly.
  • The case presented demonstrates well-preserved surrounding structures, including muscles, articular surfaces, and the articular disc.
