This document discusses the applied anatomy of the maxilla and mandible as it relates to dental implant surgery. It covers the anatomy of the maxillary sinus, pterygoid plates, mandibular canal containing the inferior alveolar nerve, mental foramen containing the mental nerve, and retromolar area. The goal is to understand the surgical anatomy to safely place dental implants and avoid injuries to nearby structures like blood vessels and nerves.

 Most commoncomplication.
 Repair of relatively small (5-10 mm) tears is
commonly done using fast resorbing collagen
membranes and/or by allowing the sinus
membrane to overlap on itself.
 A technique using a cross-linked type I collagen
membrane for predictable repair of large
perforations (> 10 mm) as well as for
circumstances in which no membrane is found is
described.

• Incisive canal,found
adjacent to nasal
septum ,8-18 mm

aspect of floor of
nasal fossa.
• May be at level of

 Ptergomaxillary butress

 Anatomic featuresof
dentulous and
edentulous mandible.
 The muscles,
innervation are of
prime importance
 Some cliniciansconsider Mental nerve to be in
Halfway between inferior border of mandible and
alveolar ridge.
 Generally,it is located slightly inferior toward the
border of mandible,although it can be found 1/3rd
inferiorly to mandible than superiorly.

alveolar canal to 1st
2nd and 3rd molars.

 Injury toIAN that remains in atrophied bone and
does not innervate soft tissues is of less
consequence.
 Nerves in bone,when in contact with implant
,account for tenderness,even though implant is
rigid and healthy.

 Lingual nerve-Improperflap reflection may cause
an injury.
 Ipsilateral paresthesia
 Anaesthesia of innervated mucosa.
 Loss of taste.

◦ Submandibular space
infection.-extraoral
swelling
25.
◦ Attaches togenial
tubercles.
◦ Should not be
completely detached -
airway obstruction.
◦ Fibres insertinto
condyle, TMJ disk.
◦ Because of angulation
of lateral pterygoid
muscle,mandibular
flexure may be caused
–causing alteration in
mandibular arch
width,pain in patients
with sub-periosteal
implants

 Insertion isinto coronoid

 Surgical exposure
,medially in ramus may
injure tendon of

harvesting bone from
external oblique ridge,or
placing incision for
subperiosteal implants.

purpose of extension of
subperiosteal implant or

 If muscle is completely
detached to expose
symphysis,then elastic
bandage is applied
externally to chin for 4
days to help in
reattachment of muscle.

implants c/o episodic swelling and pain at the site
of origin of heavymastication or bruxism.
 Myositis of detached muscle may cause it.

 Surgical anatomyof maxilla and mandible provide
foundation required for safe insertion of dental
implants.
 The anatomy is requisite to understanding of
complications that may occur during surgery ,like
injury to blood vessels or nerves,as well as post –
op complication such as infection.
 This information is important for operator, to deal
with confidence and to avoid complications.

Editor's Notes
#4 Normal vs abnormal anatomy from tooth loss generates a compromised repaired structure both in function and form.
Goal will be to develop a view of surgical anatomy as it relates to surgical procedures
#6 Schneiderian membrane or sinus membrane -0.3-0.8mm
#7 1.2nd pm and 1st molar.
2.Negative pressure during inspiration and lack of fn stimulation by teeth-cause pneumatization of maxillary sinus.
Generally, in case of maxillary antroplasties ,sinus membrane is not torn due to elasticity
#12 Accessory ostia are found in 30-40% cases ,in cases with extremly resorbed maxillas,in which floor of sinus is level with the floor of the nose,it is wise to identify anatomic structures using nasal endoscopy.
It helps as pre-op diagnostic tool to allow identification of potential complications with sinus bone grafts,before obliterating the accessory ostium or contaminating the graft.
#14 An implant in this region ,its path comes from maxillary tuberosity and aims into pterygoid portion of of maxillary bone,passing lateral pterygoid plate medially,pterygoid process posteriorly,and superiorly to avoid pterygoid fossa
Placement of any implant in this dangerous zone can cause severe hemorrhage of pterygoid muscles and pterygoid plexus.
Pterygomaxillary buttress has an area of increased bone density and volume,responsible for transmitting posterior masticatory forces originating from tuberosity to skull base..
#22 Posterior mandible is ltd for implant placement because of bone loss and subsequent proximity to IAN and vessels.in dentate indivisuals,distance from mand 1st molar is about 3mm.eg if root length of 1st molar is 12mm,and immd implant is planned ,it is recommended ,that implant is longer than the tooth root….but,if canal is close by,use shorter implant.
#25 Bilateral swelling-tracheostomy may have to be performed.
#26 Superior pair is attached to muscle-while making impression of subperiosteal implant ,avoid injury to structure.
#31 Incisions of these swelling yield no purulent exudate.
#35 Surgical anatomy of maxilla and mandible provide foundation required for safe insertion of dental implants.The anatomy is requisite to understanding of complications that may occur during surgery ,like injury to blood vessels or nerves,as well as post –op complication such as infection.This information is important for operator, to deal with confidence and to avoid complications.
