Answer 3

On the lingual surface of the mandibular body, immediately below the mylohyoid ridge in the molar area, there is frequently a depression in the bone.

Question 4

What’s is the oblique ridge ?

Answer 4

bony elevation gradually flattens and usually disappears at about where the alveolar process and mandible join below the first molar.

Question 5

Answer 5

The external oblique ridge is a continuation of the anterior border of the mandibular ramus.

Question 6

How is the TMJ Joint form ?

Answer 6

articulation between the glenoid fossa (in squamous )of the temporal bone and the condyle of the mandible

Invasive border ?

Answer 31

few or no trabeculae between the periphery of the lesion and the normal bone.

Question 32

In invasive border on which area we should focus?
