Maxillary artery runs medial to lateral pterygoid m.

28
Q

29
Q

What nerve provides motor innervation to the muscles of mastication?

A

Trigeminal = V3

30
Q

What are the 4 paired muscles of mastication?

A

Temporalis m.
Masseter m.
Lateral pterygoid m.
Medial pterygoid m.

31
Q

Action of masseter m.

A

Elevates mandible (closes jaw)

Also assists in protraction, retraction, and side-to-side motion

32
Q

Insertion point of temporalis m.

A

Coronoid process of mandible

33
Q

What group of muscles (besides the muscles of mastication) assist with opening the mandible?

A

Suprahyoid muscles, provided that the hyoid bone is fixed in place by infrahyoid mm.

34
Q

Actions of lateral pterygoid m. (Bilateral and unilateral)

A

Bilateral: protrudes mandible (pulls articular disc forward) and OPENS mouth

Unilateral: alternating actions, along with ipsilateral medial pterygoid, result in side-to-side movements necessary for grinding

35
Q

Actions of medial pterygoid m. (bilateral and unilateral)

A

Bilateral: elevation of mandible (closes jaw); also acts with lateral pterygoid to assist in protrusion of mandible

Unilateral: acts with ipsilateral lateral pterygoid m. to protrude mandible and produce medial movement toward the opposite side. Alternating actions between right and left sides result in side to side movements

36
Q

Which neck muscles assist in opening the mandible?

A

Digastric m.
Geniohyoid m.
Mylohyoid m.
Stylohyoid m.

37
Q

Which neck muscles are responsible for “fixing” the hyoid in place so that the suprahyoid mm. can assist with opening the mandible?

A

Sternohyoid m.
Sternothyroid m.
Thyrohyoid m.
Omohyoid m.

38
Q

Which muscles of mastication elevate the mandible (close the jaw)?

A

Temporalis m.
Masseter m.
Medial pterygoids

39
Q

Which muscles of mastication depress the mandible (open the mouth)?

A

Lateral pterygoids
Suprahyoid mm.
Infrahyoid mm.

40
Q

Which muscles of mastication protrude the mandible?

A

Lateral pterygoids
Masseter m.
Medial pterygoids

41
Q

Which muscles of mastication retrude the mandible?

A

Temporalis m.

Masseter m.

42

A

Ipsilateral temporalis and masseter + contralateral pterygoids

43
Q

Ligaments that provide stability at TMJ

A

Lateral (temporomandibular) ligament

Stylomandibular ligament

44
Q

What 2 ligaments limit inferior excursion at the TMJ?

A

Sphenomandibular ligament

Stylomandibular ligament

45
Q

The TMJ exists where the head of the mandible articulates with the _____ fossa with an ____ ____ between

A

Mandibular fossa; articular disk

46
Q

What specific muscle attaches to the articular disc of the TMJ?

A

Superior head of lateral pterygoid m.

47
Q

The mandibular fossa is a depression between the anterior _____ _____ and posterior _________ _______

A

Articular tubercle; postglenoid tubercle

48
Q

What happens to the TMJ when the jaw is opened?

A

Stays in position up to about 15 degrees of gape

Past 15 degrees, the TMJ essentially dislocates, sliding anteriorly and dropping the glenoid down onto the anterior articular process

49
Q

When injured, the TMJ can be very painful. This is due to sensory innervation from what nerves?

A

Auriculotemporal n.
Posterior deep temporal n.
Masseteric n.

[these are branches of mandibular n. V3]

50
Q

What bony structure makes posterior dislocation of the TMJ difficult?

A

Tympanic plate

51
Q

What nerve(s) would you anesthetize to perform a dental procedure on the lower teeth?

A

Inferior alveolar n. — this is the only nerve you would need to block in order to operate on lower teeth

52
Q

Injection site for anesthetizing inferior alveolar n.

A

Between coronoid notch and pterygomandibular raphe

53
Q

Some upper dental procedures are anesthetized using a ________ n. block, which is a branch of trigeminal V2

A

Superior labial n.

54
Q

Injection site for upper central and lateral incisor teeth

A

Incisive fossa/foramen

55
Q
