A buccal exostosis is an exostosis (bone prominence) on the buccal surface (cheek side) of the alveolar ridge of the maxilla or mandible.More commonly seen in the maxilla than the mandible, buccal exostoses are considered to be site specific. [2]
Torus mandibularis is a bony growth in the mandible along the surface nearest to the tongue. Mandibular tori usually are present near the premolars and above the location on the mandible of the mylohyoid muscle attachment. [1] In 90% of cases, a torus is on both inner sides of the mandible (left and right); however, they may differ in size.
Head and neck anatomy Torus Palatinus (torus of the hard palate - roof of the mouth) Mandibular Torus, right side (torus underneath the tongue). An oral torus - also known as: dental torus - is an oral condition in which bony growth occurs in the mouth; there are three locations in which oral tori may appear: the hard palate (torus palatinus), in the lower jaw underneath the tongue (mandibular ...
In human anatomy of the mouth, the palatine process of maxilla (palatal process), is a thick, horizontal process of the maxilla. It forms the anterior three quarters of the hard palate, the horizontal plate of the palatine bone making up the rest. It is the most important bone in the midface. It provides structural support for the ...
The lingula of the mandible is a prominent bony ridge on the medial side of the mandible. [1] It is next to the mandibular foramen. [1] It has a notch from which the mylohyoid groove originates. It gives attachment to the sphenomandibular ligament.
Initially, it is just a common oro-nasal cavity within the embryo with nothing to separate the nose and mouth cavity. [46] This space is occupied with tongue. [46] The primary palate formed when medial nasal prominences fused together to form the intermaxillary segment to demarcate the oral from the nasal components. [46]
In vertebrates, the maxilla (pl.: maxillae / m æ k ˈ s ɪ l iː /) [2] is the upper fixed (not fixed in Neopterygii) bone of the jaw formed from the fusion of two maxillary bones. In humans, the upper jaw includes the hard palate in the front of the mouth. [3] [4] The two maxillary bones are fused at the intermaxillary suture, forming the ...
The mandibular prominence, or mandibular process is an embryological structure which gives rise to the lower portion of the face. The mandible and lower lip derive from it. [1] The mesenchymal cells within the mandibular prominence condense to form Meckel's cartilage. [2] It is innervated by the mandibular nerve. [3]
