Oral Region Flashcards
Bounded superiorly by the temporal line, the Temporal Region includes the (1) and (2),
- temporal fossae
2. infratemporal fossae
The temporal fossae and infratemporal fossae are separated by the
zygomatic arch
♣ (1) of the mandible articulates with the (2) and the articular tubercle of the temporal bone
- Mandibular condyle
2. mandibular fossa
what type of joint is the TMJ
Synovial joint
5 movements at the TMJ
depression elevation protrution retrution lateral
Dislocation of the TMJ usually occurs (1), when the mandibular condyle displaces anterior to the articular tubercle.
anteriorly
what percentage of people are effected by the TMJ
5-12%

5 branches of mandibular nerve
- Buccal
- lingual
- auriculotemportal
- inferior alveolar
- mental
Mantibular nerve exits skull via
foramen ovale
o Sensory to cheek and mandibular gingivae (gums)
