The document discusses the functional anatomy of the mandible. It covers the embryology and development of the mandible from Meckel's cartilage, including ossification centers and growth of the condylar and ramus regions. The anatomical structures of the mandible are described, including the body, ramus, condylar and coronoid processes. The related muscles, trajectories of force, biomechanics of movement, and applied anatomy are summarized. Abnormalities including fractures, infections, tumors and developmental variations are also covered.

3. MECKEL`S CARTILAGE
•Forms at 6 th week of development
•Solid hyaline cartilage surrounded by fibro-cellular capsule
•Extends from otic capsule to midline of the fused mandibular process
•Cartilages of each side do not meet at midline, seperated by thin band of mesenchyme.
4. 1. A central cartilage rod that forms the skeleton of the arch
2. A muscular component-bronchomere
3. A vascular component
4. A neural component.
Each of the five arches contain
5. A single ossification centre for each half of the mandible arise in the region of
the bifurcation of inferior alveolar nerve into mental and incisive
branches.
10. RAMUS
The functional remodeling of ramus are
• To accommodate the increasing mass of masticatory muscle
• To accommodate the enlarged breadth of the pharyngeal space.
• To facilitate the lengthening of the mandibular body. (erupting molars)

condylar process
coronoid process
Oblique line
Mental foramen
16. MUSCLES RELATED TO MANDIBLE
Muscles of facial expression
Muscles originating from the inner aspect of mandible ( mylohyoid, geniohyoid,
genioglossus, ant belly of digastric – fractured fragments collapse posteriorly or
medially)
Lateral pterygoid- condylar head displaced anteriorly and medially.
The mandible anterior to a line passing through the anterior margin of the masseter
muscle, is influenced by the depressor group of muscles, while the ramus is
influenced by the elevator group.
24. MANDIBLE
To meet function , mandible is designed as a strong central bar, like the shaft
of long bone, running forward in a continuous curve from condyle to
condyle.
Reinforced in the midline symphysis by the bulging chin, which resists the
squeezing action of lateral pterygoids at the condylar ends
Senile jaw-loss of teeth- alveolar process disappears. Masticatory function is
severely reduced, extensive resorption of mandibular insertions.
Coronoid and angular plates recede, and little but the central bar of bone
remains.
25. TRAJECTORIES OF FORCE
The bony trajectories transmit and disperse the forces of mastication towards the
condyles from the body, thus preventing injury to middle cranial fossa.
26. • Benninghoff stated that the stress trajectories or lines of orientation of bony
trabeculae involve not only the cancellous bone but also the compact bone.
• Minor trajectories – effects of muscle attachments
• Major trajectories – trabecular columns originate from beneath the teeth in
the alveolar process and join together into a common stress pillar or major
trajectory system.
27. AREAS OF WEAKNESS (VULNERABLE FOR FRACTURE)
Junction of alveolar bone and basal bone
Symphysis
Parasymphysis
Angle
Presence of impacted teeth
Neck of condyle
28. MUSCLE SLING
• Angle and condylar neck are not entirely protected by sling.
• Bony trabecular crests, ridges, lines.
31. CHAMPY`S LINE OF IDEAL OSTEOSYNTHESIS
• Masticatory muscles produce tension at upper border and compression at
lower border.
• Torsional forces produced anterior to canine.
32. Monocortical tension banding osteosynthesis neutralizes distraction and
torsion during physiologic stress, while normal basilar compression is
restored
CHAMPY
33. PEDIATRIC FRACTURE
Common - 39%
Young bone possesses unique physical properties that coupled with space
occupying developing dentition give rise to patterns of fracture not seen in
adults.
Majority of the fractures in children are undisplaced because of the elasticity
of mandible and embedded tooth buds that hold the fragments together.
Green stick fracture.
39. METASTASIS TO MANDIBLE
It was found that in 29.4% of patients with a metastatic lesion in jaw bone, it was the
first indication of an undiscovered malignancy at a distant site.
Site- premolar molar area (makes the diagnosis of most jaw metastasis difficult because
the posterior mandible is often the area where dental inflammatory diseases occurs)
Moorman and shafer – most jaw metastasis occur in posterior mandible because it
contains the most hematopoietic marrow.
Kawast – increased red bone marrow-dec rate of blood flow-risk of tumour emboli.
Zetter- marrow has growth factors of metastatic tumours.
Batson- metastasis along vetebral viens
INFLAMMATION
RICH CAPILLARIES
40. MICROGNATHIA
Insufficient migration of neural crest cells usually occur in 4 th week of
gestation.
Associated with
Trisomy 13,18
Goldenhar syndrome-hemifacial microsomia
Nager syndrome
TAR syndrome
Pierre robin syndrome
Treacher collin syndrome
Congenital cardiac anomalies
Skeletal dysplasia-achondrogenesis.
COMPROMISE NEONATAL RESPIRATION
41. • Hypoplasia or absent of mandible with abnormally positioned
ears.
• Autosomal recessive .
• It is probably due to failure of neural crest mesenchyme into
the maxillary prominence
AGNATHIA
43. • CORONOID HYPERPLASIA
• Rare developmental anomaly
• Result in limited mandibular movement
• Unknown etiology.
• M:F ratio 5:1
• May be unilateral or bilateral
• Bilateral is more common
• CONDYLAR HYPERPLASIA
• Excessive growth of one of the condyles
• Cause is unknown, but local circulating problems, endocrine disturbances,
and trauma have been suggested as possible etiologic factors.
45. • Rare
• Most of have medial and lateral head divided by an antero posterior
grooves.
• Some condyles may be divided into an anterior and posterior head
• Cause is uncertain
• Antero-posterior may be traumatic origin.
BIFID CONDYLE
48. EVOLUTION
• SOME SCIENTISTS BELIEVE JAW SIZE INHERITED
• SOME STUDIES CONFIRMED THAT HUMAN JAW SIZE AND SHAPE VARY
ACCORDING TO DIET.
• HUNTER-GATHERER GROUPS—including populations of the Alaskan Inuit,
Australians, and Central Africans tended to have more room in their mandibles
(lower jaws). The diets of these populations consist primarily of unprocessed foods
that require more chewing.
• AGRICULTURALIST GROUPS - Including Italians and Japanese, had “relatively short
and broad mandibles
