Study Notes
Bony Structures
- A linear prominence or projection of bone is a crest.
- A small bump or nodule of bone is a tubercle.
- A rounded prominence of bone is a process.
Joints
- An immovable joint that represents a line of union between adjoining bones of the skull is a suture.
Bone Types
- Compact bone in the human body is dense and appears radiopaque on a dental image.
- Cancellous bone in the human body is composed of a spongy, porous structure.
Radiography
- Accurate mounting and interpretation of intraoral images are enabled by the use of a reference line.
Coronoid Process
- The coronoid process is a triangular-shaped projection of bone that serves as an attachment site for the temporalis muscle.
Density
- The densest structure in the human body is enamel.
Pulp Cavity
- The composition of the pulp cavity includes soft tissue, pulp, and nerves.
Alveolar Crest
- The alveolar crest appears as a thin, curved radiopacity in the anterior region.
Maxillary Sinuses
- The maxillary sinuses are the largest paranasal sinuses and are located in the maxillary bones.
Inferior Nasal Conchae
- The appearance of the inferior nasal conchae on an anterior maxillary periapical image is a curved, radiopaque structure.
Maxillary Sinus Floor
- The composition of the floor of the maxillary sinus is bone.
Genial Tubercles
- The genial tubercles are located on the lingual aspect of the mandible.
Mental Ridge
- The mental ridge is a bony prominence located on the labial aspect of the mandible, and it serves as an attachment site for the mentalis muscle.
Mental Foramen
- The mental foramen appears as a radiolucency on a mandibular periapical image.
Mandibular Canal
- The appearance of the mandibular canal on a mandibular periapical image is a radiolucent channel.
Mylohyoid Ridge
- The mylohyoid ridge is located on the lingual aspect of the mandible and appears as a radiopaque, curved structure on a mandibular periapical image.
