Oral Anatomy Flashcards
What is Position of oral Cavity
Anterior border - lip
Posterior border - Oropharynx
Superior border - hard palate
Inferior border - floor of mouth
Oral cavity derived into?
Vestibules - distance between lip and teeth
Oral cavity - cavity between teeth and pharynx
Lip muscle
ORBICULARIS ORIS
Cheeks
Buccinator muscle - opening of parotid gland visible opposite maxillary second molar
Gingiva?
Alveolar, mucogingival junction, attached and free gingival, marginal gingiva.
Fraenum
Epithelium fold of mucosa
Maxillary Tuberosity
Round prominence of bone behind last maxillary molar
Retro molar area
Triangle behind last mandibular molar
Saliva
PH of mouth- 6.5
Watery liquid secreted into mouth by glands providing lubrication for chewing and swallowing and aid digestion.
- unsimulated Adult date 0.3 -0.5 ml per min
- simulated - 1-2 ml
- 99% water + waste product, protein, enzymes, hormones, immunoglobin.
Functions: Remineralisation, protection, lubrication, digestion, buffering, water balance, taste, mastications .
The Oral Balance
Demineralisation - bacteria plaque + carbohydrates
Remineralisation- Salive+ OH+ fluoride+ natural protective factors
Minor salivary glands
Cluster of small glands formed in sub mucosa ducts ,open in mouth
Major salivary glands
1- Parotid gland - 14-28 grams, lies infratemporal fossa b/w mastoid process and border of ramus of mandible , angle of mandible . largest gland , Duct - Stensons duct 5cm open upper 6-7 molars. Saliva 25% serous.
2- submandibular gland- second largest, Duct Whartons duct above mylohyoid muscle open lingual frenum , sub lingual papillae . Saliva mucous and serous
3- sublingual gland- smallest , sub lingual fossa , Duct- Not one common duct. Bartholium duct and Rivinus . Saliva mucous
Muscles of mastication
Masseter
Temporalis
Medial pterygoid
Lateral pterygoid
Masseter
- Square shape, muscle powerful, thick
- origin zygomatic arch, insertion Ramus.
- action close mouth
Clench your teeth to palpate your Masseter
Which muscle use to maintain central occlusion for wax bite ?
