ORAL ANATOMY 2024

Please answer the questions in the Study Guide for Dento-Osseous Structures in the "Think" Section, and do the activities in the "Dig Deeper". Be ready with you answers for our lecture session. You might be called to answer the questions. 

STUDY GUIDE FOR THE DENTO-OSSEOUS STRUCTURES

Let’s Begin

      This lecture focuses on the bones that support or are part of the oral cavity. The two main bones that are associated with the oral cavity are the maxilla and the mandible. You will encounter these bones again in the next semester as you study Head and Neck Anatomy. For now, just be familiar with the maxilla and the mandible, the importance of each skeletal structure and how they are related to the other structures in the oral cavity and the stomatognathic system.
