BDS4 Oral Surgery PPs Flashcards
What foramen does the ophthalmic branch of CNV pass through?
Superior orbital fissure
What foramen does the maxillary branch of CNV pass through?
Foramen rotundum
What foramen does the mandibular branch of CNV pass through?
Foramen ovale
What is the origin, insertion, innervation & function of the masseter?
Origin = zygomatic process of maxilla (superficial head) & zygomatic arch (deep head)
Insertion = ramus + angle of mandible
Innervation = masseteric nerve of CNV3
Function = Elevation of mandible
What is the origin, insertion, innervation & function of the Temporalis?
Origin = floor of temporal fossa
Insertion = coronoid process & ramus of mandible
Innervation = deep temporal nerves of CNV3
Function = Elevation of mandible, retraction of mandible
What is the origin, insertion, innervation & function of the Medial Pterygoid?
Origin = medial surface of lateral pterygoid plate & maxillary tuberosity
Insertion = medial surface of angle of mandible
Innervation = medial pterygoid nerve of CNV3
Function = Elevation of mandible, protrusion of mandible, side to side movements
What is the origin, insertion, innervation & function of the Lateral Pterygoid?
Origin = greater wing of sphenoid bone (superficial head) & lateral pterygoid plate (deep head)
Insertion = articular disc of TMJ & neck of mandibular condyle
Innervation = lateral pterygoid nerve of CNV3
Function = protrusion, lateral movement, stabilisation of TMJ
What is the histopathology of a squamous cell carcinoma?
- Increased mitotic activity
- Cellular atypia
- Abnormal keratinisation
- Pleomorphism
- Basal cell hyperplasia
- Disturbed polarity of cells
Patient attends with a right body mandibular fracture.
Other than pain, bruising & swelling, list 6 other signs and symptoms of mandibular fractures:
- Step deformity
- Facial asymmetry
- Occlusal derangement
- Sublingual haematoma/bleeding
- Numbness of lower lip
- AOB
Patient attends with a right body mandibular fracture.
What factors cause displacement of mandibular fractures?
- Direction of fracture line
- Opposing occlusion
- Magnitude of force applied
- Mechanism of injury
- Soft tissue status (intact or not)
- Other associated fractures
Patient attends with a right body mandibular fracture.
What does displacement of fragments depend on?
- Pull of attached muscles
- Angulation and direction of fracture line
- Integrity of periosteum
- Extent of communication
What anaesthetic is not recommended for pregnant patients?
Citanest [contains Felypressin which can induce labour]
What type of joint is the TMJ?
synovial, hinge type joint
What artery supplies the TMJ?
Branches of the external carotid:
- superficial temporal artery
- deep auricular artery
- ascending pharyngeal
- maxillary artery
What nerves supply the TMJ?
Innervated by:
- Auriculotemporal branch of CNV
- Masseteric branch of CNV
Disc displacement with reduction:
In terms of disc and condylar movement, describe how disc displacement with reduction occurs.
- Articular disc is displaced from normal position and moved anterior to the condyle
- When the jaw opens, the displaced disc “reduces” or snaps back into its normal position between condyle and fossa
- Associated with clicking or popping sound
- As jaw closes the disc can again displace anteriorly causing another click/pop
What is the risk of not treating disc displacement with reduction?
- May progress to a closed lock state
- Wear on the disc
Give 5 signs of Zygomatico-Orbital fracture:
- facial asymmetry
- periorbital ecchymosis
- subconjunctival haemorrhage
- numbness in infraorbital area
- step deformity of zygomatic arch
- flattened appearance
How would you clinically assess for a zygomatico-orbital fracture?
- visual inspection
- palpation of zygomatic arch/infraorbital rim/maxilla
- assessment of jaw movement & trismus
- test for sensory deficits in the infraorbital distribution
- check for visual diplopia
