branchial arch
Temporomandibular joint
Maxillary artery
Lingual nerve
Muscles of mastication
Sensory

2 Large
-Masseter
Maxillary nerve (V2)
-Medial Pterygoid
2 Pterygoids
Sensory
-Lateral Pterygoid
And others
Mandibular division (V3) -mylohyoid
Sensory

2 Tensors
1) Auriculotemporal
2) Buccal
3) Mental
V3 dermatome

1)Occupied by
temporalis
2)Superior temporal
line
3)Zygomatic arch

1) Auriculotemporal Nerve
1) Skin over the Temple
2) Parasymapthetic to parotid gland (IX nerve)
2) Inferior Alveolar Nerve
1) Lower Teeth and associated gingivae
2) Mental Nerve
3) Lingual Nerve
Maxillary Artery
One of two terminal
branches of the
external carotid artery
It passes deep to the
neck of the mandible
and enters the
infratemporal fossa
Supplies muscles of
mastication
Maxillary Artery
1) Branches
supply muscles
of mastication
2) Lower jaw teeth
3) Skin on the jaw
4) Middle
meningeal
artery
Middle meningeal artery supplies the meningeal layers protecting the brain. If the
middle menigeal artery ruptures where would bleeding occur?
Jugal point
Venous Drainage
1) Pterygoid plexus
drain muscles of
mastication
2) Drains into
maxillary and
facial vein
3) Maxillary and
superficial
temporal vein
form
retromandibular
which drains into
both external and
internal veins
4) Emissary veins
connect to
cavernous
sinus(route for
infection)

Temporomandibular Joint
Synovial Joint, atypical
Condyloid process (head) of mandible
and articular margins and tubercle of
the mandibular fossa on squamous
part of the temporal bone
Capsule - fossa and neck of mandible
Temporomandibular Joint
fibrocartilagenous disc - upper and
lower compartments
articular surface of joint lined with
fibrous cartilage, not hyaline cartilage
like other synovial joints
Dislocation of TMJ
Dislocation - anteriorly most common,
condyloid process moves forward onto
articular eminence
Inferiorly into infratemporal fossa
Posteriorly into EAM and tympanic
cavity
Movements at TMJ
Upper compartment
- protraction - lateral pterygoids
- retraction - posterior fibres temporalis
Lower compartment
- depression - lateral pterygoids,
mylohyoid, anterior digastric
- elevation - medial pterygoids,
masseter, temporalis
Masseter
Originates from the
zygomatic arch
Inserts onto the lateral side
of the mandibular ramus
V3 Massetric nerve
Masseteric artery(branch
of maxillary)
Closes the mouth,
clenches the teeth, and
protrudes the jaw
Temporalis
Temporalis muscle arises
from the temporal fossa
Fan shape with
anterior,middle and
posterior parts
Temporali
s
Masseter
Lateral Pterygoid
Medial Pterygoid
Actions: like
masseter, but also
draws mandible to
opposite side during
chewing
What then attaches to
the medial pterygoid
plate?
FORAMEN
OVALE
The auriculotemporal
nerve is the principal
nerve supplying the
temporomandibular joint
