Mandible Bone Scholarly Peer-review Journal

The mandible, located inferiorly within the facial skeleton, is that the largest and strongest bone of the face.
It forms the mandible and acts as a receptacle for the lower teeth. It also articulates on either side with the os temporale , forming the mandibular joint .
In this article, we'll check out the anatomy and clinical importance of the mandible.
The mandible consists of a horizontal body (anteriorly) and two vertical rami (posteriorly). The body and therefore the rami meet on all sides at the angle of the mandible.
The body of the mandible is curved, and shaped very similar to a horseshoe. it's two borders:
Alveolar border superior contains 16 sockets to carry the lower teeth.
Base inferior site of attachment for the digastric muscle medially
The body is marked within the midline by the mandibular symphysis. this is often alittle ridge of bone that represents the fusion of the 2 halves during development. The symphysis encloses a triangular eminence – the mental protuberance, which forms the form of the chin.
Lateral to the mental protuberance is that the mental foramen below the second premolar tooth on either side. It acts as a passageway for neurovascular structures.
