What else can I help you with?
The opening of the what is located in the buccal mucosa just opposite the maxillary second molar?
Parotid salivary gland duct, also called Stenson's duct.
What is a class 1 molar relationship?
When the mesial buccal cusp of the maxillary first molar is distal to the mesial buccal cusp of the mandibular first molar.
Why buccal cusps appear below the lingual cusps in periapical radiograph of molar maxillary?
as the buccal cusp has lesser magnification cast on radiograph as compared to the lingual cusp
What is the function of mesial concavity that forms on the mesial aspect of maxillary first premolars?
The concavity that forms on the mesial aspect of maxillary first premolars is called the cuspid groove. It is the result of the first premolar having both a buccal and palatal root. The groove functions as an alignment guide for the maxillary cuspid as it descends into the mouth.
Which nerve innervates the skin and mucosa of the cheeks and gingiva?
The skin and mucosa of the cheeks and gingiva are primarily innervated by the buccal branch of the mandibular nerve (V3), which is a division of the trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V). This branch provides sensory innervation to the buccal mucosa and the gingiva in the molar region. Additionally, the maxillary nerve (V2) contributes to the innervation of the upper gingiva and mucosa in the maxillary region.
What is a white ridge of raised tissue on the buccal mucosa that extends horizontally at the level where the maxillary and mandibular teeth come together?
That ridge is the result of the teeth always being pressed against the buccal mucosa. If you lost your teeth, the ridge would eventually disappear.
Malocclusion Diagnosis Classification Class 1?
in order to diagnose malocclusion..ask da patient to occlude n observe the relationship of the maxillary n mandibular molars...if the mesiobuccal cusp of the maxillary molar occludes in the buccal groove of mandibular molar...then its a class 1 maloclusion...this is some times considered as nrmal occlusion...
What tooth has a single root a large functional Buccal cusp and a smaller nonfunctional lingual cusp?
The tooth you are describing is the maxillary first premolar. It typically has a single root, with a prominent buccal cusp that is used for chewing, while the lingual cusp is smaller and often considered nonfunctional. This specific morphology helps in the effective grinding of food during mastication.
Parts of buccal cavity?
The buccal cavity is located in the mouth and contains the tongue, teeth, and salivary glands. It is involved in processes such as chewing, swallowing, and speech. The walls of the buccal cavity are lined with mucous membranes that help protect and lubricate the cavity.
Does maxillary 2nd molar have root concavity?
Yes, the maxillary second molar typically has root concavities, particularly on the buccal surfaces of the roots. These concavities can vary in depth and are more pronounced on the mesial aspects of the roots. The presence of these concavities can influence periodontal health and the success of endodontic treatment. Proper assessment is essential during dental procedures involving these teeth.
What is the Site for greater palatine nerve block?
The greater palatine nerve block can be performed intraorally. The needle is inserted either through the palatal mucosa midway between the second and third molar or through the buccal mucosa posterior to the maxillary second molar. The injection site is usually located near the greater palatine foramen.
Are there taste buds in the buccal cavity?
Yes, taste buds are located on the tongue, soft palate, and inner cheeks of the buccal cavity. They help detect different flavors of food and beverages.
