Study Notes

Oral Anatomy

  • The uvula is not located at the anterior part of the roof of the mouth.
  • The tongue is involved in the process of mastication, playing a crucial role in breaking down food.

Periodontology

  • Gingiva is the tissue that surrounds the crown of the teeth, protecting them from infection.

Tooth Development

  • Tooth eruption involves the movement of the tooth from its location within the alveolar crypt to a functional position in the oral cavity.

Tooth Resorption

  • Shedding is not the process of resorption of the roots of permanent teeth, but rather the loss of primary teeth.

Floor of the Mouth

  • The floor of the mouth may have visible blood vessels near the surface, making it sensitive to injury.

Lip Anatomy

  • The lips consist of two grooves: the nasolabial groove and the labiomental groove, which provide landmarks for anatomical studies.

Palate Anatomy

  • The hard palate is the anterior part of the roof of the mouth, separating the oral cavity from the nasal cavity.

Cheek Anatomy

  • The cheek is not also known as linea alba buccalis, which is a term used to describe a specific anatomical feature.

Tongue Function

  • The tongue is the principle organ of taste, and it also plays a crucial role in speech and swallowing, making it a vital organ for oral function.
