Genial tubercles are bony projections on the mandible. This review examines their normal variations and a specific case of abnormal genial tubercles, also known as a mandibular spine, found during an oral dissection.

Area of Science:

  • Anatomy
  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Background:

  • Genial tubercles are anatomical landmarks on the anterior mandible, important for muscle attachments.
  • Understanding their normal morphology and variations is crucial for accurate diagnosis and surgical planning.

Observation:

  • A case of abnormal genial tubercles, presenting as a prominent mandibular spine, was identified during dissection of the floor of the mouth.
  • This finding represents a significant anatomical variation or abnormality.

Findings:

  • The study reviews the embryological origin and typical variations of genial tubercles.
  • Morphological characteristics of the observed abnormal genial tubercles (mandibular spine) are described in detail.

Implications:

  • This detailed description aids in differentiating normal anatomical variations from pathological conditions.
  • Enhanced understanding of genial tubercle morphology can improve surgical outcomes in procedures involving the mandible.
