Study Notes
Dental Anatomy
- Sheet number: 14
- Document date: 2024
- Authors: Ahmad Al-Nsour, Nadeen Ramadan
- Editor: Ahmad Al-Nsour, Nadeen Ramadan
- Doctor: Aseel sharaireh
Anatomy of the Head (Revision)
- The face structure is similar to the scalp, composed of 5 layers:
- Skin (outermost layer covering the face)
- Subcutaneous layer (made of fat and fascia)
- Muscular-aponeurotic layer (innervation of nerves and muscles, creating facial expressions)
- Loose areolar tissue (spaces, ligaments, some muscles)
- Fixed periosteum and deep fascia
- Musculoaponeurotic layer (important):
- Innervation of blood vessels
- Sensory nerve supply to the face
- Trigeminal ganglion (within the skull) and its branches
The Skull
- Bone of the neurocranium (skull bones that cover the brain):
- Frontal
- Parietal (2)
- Occipital
- Temporal (2)
- Sphenoid
- Ethmoid
Bone of the Viscerocranium (Facial Bones)
- Vomer
- Inferior nasal concha (2)
- Nasal (2)
- Zygomatic (2)
- Maxilla (2)
- Mandible
Classifications of Joints
- Fibrous (held together by dense connective tissue)
- Cartilaginous (held together by cartilage)
- Synovial (separated by a fluid-filled cavity)
Gomphosis
- Specific to the dental part, attaching teeth to the bone through the periodontal ligament.
Sutures of the Skull
- Sagittal suture (midline between parietal bones)
- Coronal suture (between frontal and parietal bones)
- Lambdoidal suture (between parietal and occipital bones)
- Squamosal suture (between temporal and parietal bones)
Additional Sutures
- Metopic suture (between frontal bones)
- Sphenosquamous suture (between sphenoid and anterior temporal)
- Sphenofrontal suture (between sphenoid and frontal)
- Parietomastoid suture (between parietal and mastoid temporal)
- Sphenoparietal suture (between sphenoid and parietal)
- Occipitomastoid suture (between occipital and mastoid temporal)
Bone of the Viscerocranium (Facial Bones)
- Comprises the facial bones
- Includes various numbered bones like Vomer, Inferior nasal concha, Nasal, Zygomatic, Maxilla
Maxillary Bone
- Continuous with the zygomatic bone.
- Contains various processes (e.g., zygomatic, frontal) and surfaces (e.g., orbital, infraorbital).
- Contains alveolus cavities for teeth.
- Parts vital for creating the framework
Mandible Bone
- Contains various processes and surfaces, including alveolar for teeth.
- Attaches with the TMJ to the Cranium for jaw movement.
Cavities of the Skull
- Cranial fossae (middle & posterior)
- Orbital cavity
- Nasal cavity
- Oral cavity
- Paranasal sinuses (frontal, maxillary, sphenoidal, and ethmoidal sinuses)
Paranasal Sinuses
- Air-filled spaces with mucus lining moisturizing the air.
- All openings into the nasal cavity.
- Reduces the skull's weight.
Muscles of the Face
- Total number of major facial muscles: 42
- Ability to create over 10,000 facial expressions
- Extraocular muscle groups (oblique and rectus, and Levator palpebrae superioris).
Masticatory Muscles
- Masseter
- Temporalis
- Pterygoids (lateral & medial)
- Buccinator (accessory muscle)
Facial Muscles
- Ear: Auricular (anterior, superior, posterior)
- Temporoparietalis muscle
- Scalp/Eyelid: Occipitofrontalis
- Nose: Procerus, Nasalis, Dilator naris, Depressor septi nasi
- Mouth: Levator Labii Superioris and others
- Descriptions of muscles and their placements
Soft Palate
- Muscles (e.g., Veli palatini, Musculus uvulae).
Tongue
- Extrinsic tongue muscles
- Intrinsic tongue muscles
Vasovagal Syncope
- Cause of fainting in dental patients
- Origin from emotional distress or stimulating the vagus nerve
- Overstimulation of vagus nerve may result in changes to heart rate, leading to fainting.
Blood Supply of the Face
- Rich blood supply from mainly two arteries: Facial and Superficial temporal.
- Anastomoses (delicate connections) between these two arteries.
- Internal carotid arteries (supra-orbital and supratrochlear arteries) are part of the system.
- Dangerous area due to anastomoses.
Nervous Innervation of the Face
- Trigeminal nerve (Ophthalmic, Maxillary, Mandibular) branches - sensory/motor function
- Facial nerve (motor) for mastication muscles.
