objective
• Student acquire knowledge of oral
anatomy
• Knowledge necessary in applied anatomy
ORAL ANATOMY
scope
learn the bones of oral region
Learn the soft tissues of oral region
learn the nerve and blood and lymphatics
Learn tooth morphology
Mouth (Oral Cavity) Anatomy
· Lips (labia) – protect
the anterior opening
· Cheeks – form the
lateral walls
· Hard palate – forms
the anterior roof
· Soft palate – forms
the posterior roof
· Uvula – fleshy
projection of the
soft palate
Clinical anatomy
• The mandible is mostly
fractured at the canine socket
where it is weak. Involvement
of the IAN in the callus may
cause neuralgic pain, which
may be referred to the areas of
distribution of the buccal and
auriculotemporal nerves.
• Next common fracture areas
are- angle and neck of the
mandible.

Mouth (Oral Cavity) Anatomy
· Vestibule – space
between lips
externally and teeth
and gums internally
· Oral cavity – area
contained by the
teeth
· Tongue – attached
at hyoid bone and
styloid processes of
the skull, and by the
lingual frenulum
Tongue
· fungiform papillae
· circumvallate papillae
· Paltine tonsil
and lingual
tonsil

Salivary glands
-Parotid gland: In the parotid fossa, three main
structures transverse this gland – facial nerve,
external carotid artery, and retromandibular
vein. The parotid duct opens near the upper 2nd
molar tooth. The gland is completely serous.
- Submandibular gland: Sitting most
posteriorly in the submandibular triangle, it is
supplied by the facial artery and vein.
Submandibular ducts, which cross the lingual
nerves, open on both sides of the tongue
frenulum. It is mostly serous but partially
mucus,.
- Sublingual gland: The smallest salivary
gland sits beneath the oral mucosa in the floor
of the mouth. It has multiple small openings.
This gland is almost completely mucus-
secreting.
mucosa
• Mainly stratified squamous epithelium non-
keratinized
• Keratinized at tip of piriform papillae
• Papillae wt taste buds=fungiform and
circumvallate. Also buds in folia
linguae=present on posterolateral of tongue
ORIGIN: Superior portion –
infratemporal surface of greater
wing of sphenoid. Inferior portion
– lateral surface of lateral
pterygoid plate
It is a large, fan-shaped
muscle at the sides of the
head.
ORIGIN: the floor of temporal
fossa and temporal fascia

Muscles of Mastication

Action of muscles during masticatory movements
COMMON CHARACTERISITICS:
1. All are inserted to the mandible
2. All are innervated by the mandibular division of the
trigeminal nerve
3. All are concerned un biting and chewing
FUNCTIONS:
1. To move the mandible
2. To secure then stabilize the mandibular positions
3. To determine the direction of mandibular movements
MASSETER MUSCLE
It is a flat quadrangular
muscle, partly tendinous, partly
fleshy.
It overlies the lateral surface
of the mandibular ramus.
Superficial part
ORIGIN: maxillary process of
zygomatic bone and anterior 2/3 of
the zygomatic process of the maxilla
INSERTION: angle of the mandible
and posterior part of ramus
Deep part
ORIGIN: medial aspect of
the zygomatic arch ACTION: elevate the jaw,
INSERTION: central and with the superficial fibers
upper part of ramus as high causing protraction
as the coronoid
TEMPORALIS MUSCLE
It is a large, fan-shaped
muscle at the sides of the
head.
ORIGIN: the floor of temporal
fossa and temporal fascia
INSERTION: pterygoid
tuberosity
