What is the jaw?

In human anatomy, the jaw is the lower jaw that provides the structure of the chin and support for the lower teeth. Another name for the jaw bone is the lower maxillary bone. It is a U -shaped bone that extends from one ear down to the chin and back to the ear on the other side of the head. Vertical expansion of the jaw form of left and right joints with the main part of the skull, skull, to form jaw joints. The name of these joints is the tempera of mandibular joints. The main names for different parts of the jaw are the body, condoyle, coronoid process and ascending ramus. The body is the middle part of the bone that forms the shape of U and holds the lower teeth.

Condoyles are rounded projections on both sides of the upper part of the back of the bone. These round pieces of the bone fit into the joint with the skull on each side of the head, slightly low than the ear. Together with the skull sockets and associated muscle tissue, the jaw joints form.

Coronoid process isA piece of bone that protrudes up from the jaw on the back of the teeth. There are two coronoid processes, one on each side of the jaw. The muscles used for chewing are connected to coronoid processes and then connect to the skull.

Ascending Ramus is the name of part of the bone that connects to the body of the U K Kondoyles and Coronoid Processes. Ascending ramus is usually a flat part of the bone. It gives the shape of the jaw line.

significant proportions of face injuries, especially those that have been maintained in traffic accidents and attacks lead to broken mandibles. In addition to fractures, mandibular dislocation or jaw dislocation may occur. The jaw can be deployed down or sideways, but very rarely is deployed backwards.

Another health condition that is often associated with the jaw is periodontitis, otherwise known as gum disease. The gum disease occurs when bacteria and plaque accumulate on the teeth, both above the gum line. In advanced orAdech is not limited to the gums and teeth, but also begins to influence the mandibular bones that hold the teeth in place. The bone is eroded and the teeth are often lost.
