This document discusses the surgical anatomy of the mandible. It begins with an introduction to the mandible, noting that it is the movable bone of the lower jaw. The document then outlines the various sections that will be covered, including the anatomy of the mandible, its growth and development, attachments and relations to other structures, blood supply, and clinical considerations for surgical procedures. The goal of the document is to provide knowledge of anatomical structures and facts relevant to planning and performing surgeries related to the mandible.

3. INTRODUCTION :
 Mandible is the bone of lower jaw.
 The word mandible derived from Latin word mandibula-"jawbone" or inferior
maxillary bone.
 Only movable bone in the skull.
 It provides structural and protective support for the oral cavity.
 The mandible is articulated in ball and socket fashion at the condylar process.
 Strength resides in its dense cortical plates

4. SURGICAL ANATOMY
knowledge of anatomical facts
which have local significance in
relation to surgical therapy
 Primary emphasis is placed on an
understanding and awareness of important
structures that may be encountered during
surgery or which place limits on the nature of
the planned surgery, rather than on a detailed
and precise knowledge of systematic anatomy.
