The maxillary bone is the upper jaw whereas the mandible is the lower jaw. So the maxillary molar must refer to the molar on the upper jaw and the mandibular molar is the molar on the lower jaw.

Which tooth innervated by two alveolar nerves?

The first molar is usually innervated by two alveolar nerves: the superior alveolar nerves from the maxillary division of the trigeminal nerve.


What are the key differences between molar pregnancy partial vs complete, and how do they impact the diagnosis and treatment of this condition?

Molar pregnancy is a rare condition where abnormal tissue grows in the uterus instead of a normal pregnancy. The key difference between partial and complete molar pregnancies lies in the genetic makeup of the abnormal tissue. In partial molar pregnancies, there is an abnormal fetus with some normal placental tissue, while in complete molar pregnancies, there is no fetus and all the tissue is abnormal. Diagnosis of molar pregnancy is typically done through ultrasound and blood tests to measure hormone levels. Treatment usually involves removing the abnormal tissue through a procedure called dilation and curettage (DC). In complete molar pregnancies, there is a higher risk of complications such as persistent trophoblastic disease, which may require additional treatment like chemotherapy. Partial molar pregnancies have a lower risk of complications compared to complete molar pregnancies.

How do I trace blood from the ascending aorta to the lower right first molar?

The first thing is to determine what artery provides blood to the lower right first molar. The lower teeth sit in the mandible and are supplied by branches of the The major artery in the mandible supplying the teeth is the inferior alveolar artery, which sends branches to supply the roots of each tooth (including the first molar) in the lower jaw. Next is to find the origin of the inferior alveolar artery and work backwards until we get to the ascending aorta. The inferior alveolar artery is a branch of the internal maxillary artery, which itself is a branch of the external carotid artery. The external carotid artery is a branch of the common carotid artery. So far everything has been symmetrical, so it hasn't mattered whether we specified that the artery was on the right or the left side. But the common carotid arteries behave a little differently. The right common carotid is a branch of the innominate artery, which branches from the aortic arch. The left common carotid artery branches directly from the aortic arch. Since we're concerned with the lower right first molar, we'll work backwards from the right common carotid, innominate artery, and aortic arch. The last bit is just to know that the aortic arch is an extension of the ascending aorta. With that, we're done. Now we just sew the whole thing together, artery by artery, in the reverse order: Ascending aorta -> aortic arch -> innominate artery -> right common carotid artery -> right external carotid artery -> right internal maxillary artery -> right inferior alveolar artery -> branch to lower right first molar.


What are the key differences between partial and complete molar pregnancies?

Partial molar pregnancies occur when two sperm fertilize one egg, resulting in an abnormal fetus with some fetal tissue. Complete molar pregnancies happen when an empty egg is fertilized by one or two sperm, leading to abnormal growth of placental tissue but no fetus. Both types can have serious health implications for the mother.

How are the maxillary and mandibular arch symmetry measured?

Maxillary and mandibular arch symmetry is typically measured using various methods, including cephalometric analysis and 3D imaging techniques. Measurements can be taken from key dental landmarks, such as the midline, incisal edges, and molar positions, to assess symmetry. Additionally, digital models or casts can be analyzed for discrepancies in arch widths and lengths. These approaches help identify any asymmetries that may impact dental function and aesthetics.
