Mastication

Mastication

Able to apply strong forces and yet able to to control fine detail, whistle, speech etc.
Componants of Mastication
1. Dentitions
  1. Periodontal tissues
    1. Maxilla/Mandible
      1. TMJ
        Mandibular muscles
        Muscles of lips/cheek/tounge
        soft tissues
        Innervation/Vascultaion
2. Muscles of Mastication
  1. Temprolalis
    1. O-Temporal
      1. I-corinoid process
        Elevates, retracts
  2. Masseter
    1. O-Zygomatic Arch
      1. I Angle of Mandible
        Elevation
  3. Lateral Pterygoid
    1. O-Lateral surface of Ptyrigoid plate
      1. I-Capsule of TMJ+Neck of Mandible
        Protrution/side to side
  4. Medial Pterygoid
    1. O-Medial surface of Lateral Ptyrigoid
      1. Medial surface near angle
        Elevation/Side to side
