Oral Region Flashcards
What are the movements possible at the TMJ?
- Depression (gravity and digastric)
- Elevation
- Protrusion
- Retrusion
- Lateral
What is the most common postion for jaw dislocation?
anterior (the mandibular condyle displaces anterior to the articular turbercle)
Who does TMJ more commonly affect?
- younger people
- women
What are the muscles of mastication?
- Masseter
- Temporalis
- Medial pterygoid (two heads)
- Lateral pterygoid (two heads)
What nerve supplies motor innervation to the muscles of mastication?
Mandibular nerve (V3)
Temporalis actions
- elevation
- retrusion
Masseter action
-elevation
Lateral pterygoid actions
- protrusion (bilateral)
- lateral movement (unilatera
Medial pterygoid actions
bilateral:
- elevation
- protrusion
unilateral:
-lateral movement
Where does the Mandibular nerve (V3) pass through the cranium?
foramen ovale
Mandibular nerve (V3) motor
muscles of mastication
Mandibular nerve (V3) sensory
lower lip, chin, posterior/lateral cheek, up to the temporal area
What are the somatic sensory branches of Mandibular nerve V3?
- Buccal nerve
- Lingual nerve
- Auriculotemporal nerve
- Inferior alveolar nerve
Where is a inferior alveolar nerve block directed?
toward the mandibular foramen
Describe the pathway of the inferior alveolar nerve
- out of the foramen ovale
- into the mandibular foramen
- through mandible
- out the mental foramen where it becomes the mental nerve
What branch comes off the inferior alveolar nerve before heading into the mandibular foramen?
-Nerve to mylohyoid (small motor branch)
What does the nerve to mylohyoid supply?
motor:
- mylohyoid
- anterior digastric
Buccal nerve sensory
- cheek
- mandibular gingivae
Lingual nerve sensory
- mandibular gingivae
- floor of mouth
- anterior 2/3 of tongue
Auriculotemporal nerve
-ear region
Inferior alveolar nerve
- mandibular teeth
- mandibular gingivae
- chin
- lower lip
Chorda Tympani special sensory
Taste to anterior 2/3 of tongue
Chorda Tympani parasympathetic
Salivary glands:
- submandibular gland
- sublingual gland
Which nerve does Chorda tympani travel with to reach the tongue?
lingual nerve (CN V3)
Name the vessels branching from the external carotid
External carotid > Maxillary artery > middle meningeal > Inferior alveolar
Rupture of anterior branch of middle meningeal artery will cause?
epidural hematoma
Describe the flow of venous blood from the pterygoid venous plexus to the Subclavian
Pterygoid plexus > maxillary vein > Retromandibular vein > External jugular vein > Subclavian
