1
Mandible largest, densest bone of face
home ed
2
PA Mandible
3
Lateral Mandible
4
Mandible is one of two non-paired bones of the face What is the other?
If you said Occipital- you are wrong! That is a cranial bone! Vomer is other non-paired facial bone!
5
Basic Routine Projections for Mandible
PA Bilateral Axiolateral Obliques SMV (optional)
6
Notice- there is no lateral projection- why not?
Two halves of mandible would be superimposed-thus obscuring information for both sides.
7
Mandible-PA - Ramus
8
Mandible-PA-Ramus (General survey)
Similar to a PA skull-nose and forehead against IR CR- 0 Degrees Exit at tip of nose (acanthion) 8x10 cassette, collimated (body and mentum superimposed on spine)
9
Evaluation Criteria - PA Mandible
Mandibular body and rami symmetric include entire mandible collimate Interpupillary line horizontal midsag.plane perpendicular
10
Dental Dosage Average person in US is exposed to about 360 mrem per year from background sources Full mouth series of dental x rays (18 intraoral exposures) = 36 mrem 1 set of dental x-rays = 1/10th background radiation average person is exposed to yearly Panorex film = 4 mrem or 1/90th yearly back. radiation

Mandible-PA - Ramus
13
Mandible-PA Ramus Similar to PA skull-nose and forehead against IR
CR- 0 Degrees Exit at tip of nose (acanthion) 8x10 cassette, collimated (body and mentum superimposed on spine)
14
Evaluation Criteria - PA Mandible
Include entire mandible Mandibular body and rami symmetric Interpupillary line horizontal midsag.plane perpendicular Collimated
15
PA Mandible-Body Similar to PA for Ramus, except chin and nose against IR 0 degree CR angle
16
PA Mandible -Body Ramus Mentum Body Angle
17
PA - Body PA - Ramus
18
A pretty decent AP mandible can be obtained by doing C-spine odontoid
19
Mandible- axiolateral oblique
Both left and right oblique projections must always be performed! Blow to one side of jaw transfers force to opposite side, possibly breaking that side, not necessarily fracturing side of impact
20
Mandible- axiolateral obliques – 3 variations
Ramus (lateral) Body (30 degrees internally rotated) Symphysis (45 degrees internally rotated) CR angled up 25 degrees in all projections!
21
Mandibular axiolateral obliques
Ramus Body Symphysis A B C
22
Mandibular Axiolateral oblique for Ramus
Head true lateral CR angled 25 degrees up extend chin to avoid superimposition on spine
23
Axiolateral oblique-Ramus
TMJ A CONDYLE B CORONOID C RAMUS D BODY E ANGLE F
24
Axiolateral oblique - Mandibular Body
Similar to ramus oblique, but rotate head 30 degrees to IR (mand. Body of interest will be parallel to IR) CR 25 degrees up through area of interest
25
Axiolateral oblique-mandibular body
Evaluation criteria -no overlap of body by opposite body no cervical spine superimposition no distortion of body Coronoid A B C D E Ramus Body Hyoid Angle
26
Mandibular Axiolateral oblique - symphysis
No overlap of mentum no foreshortening (spine will overlap body)
27
Mandible-axiolateral oblique
LAO LPO Shoulder super-imposition problem!
28
Mandible-axiolateral oblique (tip!)
Why struggle to get patient into zero tilt lateral, and then angle 25 degrees up? Use tilted head to your advantage! tilt of head CR angle degrees
29
Mandible -SMV (optional)
For visualizing mandibular body and coronoid & condyloid processes of rami
30
Mandible -SMV Similar to skull, but collimated to anterior portion of cranium IOML parallel to IR (tilt cassette forward if possible) CR Perpendicular to IOML, midway between angles of mandible
31
SMV- alternate projection
32
Mandible- SMV Evaluation Criteria
Distance between lateral border of skull and mand. Equal on both sides condyles anterior to pars petrosae Symphysis extendng to anterior border of face Symphysis A Body B Coronoid process C Ramus D Condyle E F Petrous ridge
33
Hyoid Bone! What is the only bone of the human body that does not articulate with any other bone?
34
Hyoid Bone Attaches from the styloid processes of temporal bone to tongue No views to demostrate
35
REVIEW A- Coranoid process B- mandibular fossa C- neck of condyle
D- Condyle E- condylar process F- Ramus G- Gonion H- Body I-Alveolar process
