Q

Submandibular Gland

  1. What type of gland is it?
  2. Innervation
  3. What is the role of the mylohyoid muscle?
  4. Size
  5. Where is the opening/duct?
  6. What crosses over the submandibular duct?
A
  1. Serious & Mucous gland

2.

Parasympathetic: postganglionic fibers from Submandibular ganglion VII, hanging off Lingual nerve

Sympathetic: Branches of Superior Cervical Ganglion

  1. Mylohyoid muscle separates it into deep &superficial lobes
  2. Intermediate between Partid (big) & Sublingual (small)
  3. duct runs from the deep lobe of the gland over the mylohyoid’s superior surface & opens at sublingual papilla at the base of the lingual frenulum
  4. Lingual nerve - first laterally & then medially

Q

Contents of the Floor of the Mouth

A

Lateral to Hypoglossus

  • CNXII
  • lingual Vein
  • Deep lobe & duct of Submandibular gland

Medial to Hypoglossus muscle:

  • CNIX
  • Lingual Artery
  • Stylohyoid ligament

Q

Features of the Tongue

  1. What are the different structures found on the tongue?
  2. Where does each part of the tongue reside?
A

1.

Sulcus Terminalis: V-shaped groove on the tongue - dividing into Ant. 2/3 & Post. 1/3

Foramen Caecum: Pit at the apex of Sulcus Terminalis

Median Sulcus: Straight groove running down middle of tongue

Dorsum: Superior & Posterior roughened surface of tongue

Lingual Frenulmen: fold on interior surface of tongue. From base towards lower central incisors

2.

Ant. 2/3 = Oral Cavity

Post. 1/3 = Pharynx

Q

Extrinsic Muscles of the Tongue - Overall function?

What are the extrinsic muscles of the tongue? What are their functions?

A

Function: Change position

Hypoglossus: Depresses & retracts tongue

  • Originates from upper aspects of Hyoid horns
  • Wide & flat
  • Forms floor of Submandibular Triangle with Mylohyoid
  • Function: Depresses &retracts tongue

Styloglossus: Elevates & retracts tongue

Genioglossus: Retracts the Tip of the tongue (Superior fibres)

  • separated into different sections of fibres
  • Originates from superior genial tubercle of the mandible
  • Lowest fibres into Hyoid bone
  • Middle & Inferior fibres protrude the tongue

Palatoglossus: Elevates the back to the tongue

  • closing of Oropharynx = allows swallowing
  • Innervated by Pharyngeal Plexus IX

Q

Intrinsic Muscles of the Tongue

  • Overall function?

What are the intrinsic muscles of the tongue? What are their functions?

A

Function: Change shape

Superior Longitudinal Fibres - under the Dorsum (surface of tongue)

&

Inferior Longitudinal Fibres : Shorten the tongue & curl the tip

Vertical Fibres: Flatten & broaden tongue

Transverse Fibres: Narrow tongue & curl up sides

Q

Inferior Alveolar Nerve

  1. What is it a branch of?
  2. What is its pathway?
A
  1. Mandibular Division of Trigeminal Nerve = V3

2.

  • Enters Mandibular Foramen - traveling across the alveolar process inside the mandible bone
  • Mental nerve branch comes out of Mental Foramen
  • After branching IAN = Incisive nerve: innervating canines & incisors

Q

Local Anesthesia

  1. What is the benefit of LA?
  2. What is the method?
  3. When may Palatal Gingiva anesthesia be needed? How is it done?
A
  1. Each maxillary tooth may be individually anaesthetised

2.

  • Before injection, topical anesthetic is given to area - anesthetising Vertibular Gingiva
  • Needle Pierces though vestibular muscosa surrounding tooth
  1. Anesthesia of the palatal gingiva (full crown preparation & surgery)
    * Pierce needle through Palatal gingiva
17
Q

Nerve Block

What are the different method in which a nerve block may be established?

A
  • Ant. & Middle SAN: block at Infraorbital Foramen
  • Post. SAN: block maxillary artery before it enters Infraorbital canal
  • Nasopalatine Block
  • Greater Palatine Block
