100
This is an infection with pus resulting from the entrapment of pathogens in a contained space.
What is an abscess?
100
The infraorbital foramen is a part of this bone.
What is the maxilla?
100
During an oral exam, you notice bilateral enlargement of your patient's tonsils near the faucial pillars. These lymph nodes will likely be palpable during the extraoral exam.
What are the superior deep cervical nodes, specifically jugulodigastric nodes?
100
The corrugator supercilii contributes to this facial expression.
What is a frown?
100
The arteries and veins that supply blood to the tongue.
What are the lingual arteries and veins?
200
The space into which an abscess of a mandibular third molar would progress.
What is the submandibular space?
200
A patient has a sore on the anterior hard palate. This bone underlies the ulcerated area.
What is the maxillary bone
200
These lymph nodes drain all teeth EXCEPT mandibular incisors and maxillary third molars.
What are the submandibular nodes?
200
This muscle is known for keeping food on the occlusal surfaces during chewing? Hint: NOT a muscle of mastication
What is the buccinator muscle?
200
This artery supplies blood to the mandibular third molars.
What is the inferior alveolar artery?
300
The term for pus containing pathogenic bacteria, white blood cells, tissue fluid, and debris.
What is suppuration?
300
Alveolar process refers to what area of bone?
What is surrounding the teeth?
300
The secondary lymph nodes for an infection in the tongue and any of the teeth besides the mandibular incisors and maxillary third molars.
What are the superior deep cervical nodes.
300
The function of the temporalis muscle.
What is mastication (chewing, closing mouth, elevating mandible)?
300
This artery is likely involved when a hematoma is noted on the medial surface of the mandibular ramus. Hint: think injections given in this area!
What is the inferior alveolar artery?
400
This space is known as the "danger zone" in dentistry and would become affected when a mandibular molar presented with an infection.
What is the retropharyngeal space?
400
This structure is where the temporal bone and the mandible meet and it can be affected by arthritis.
TMJ
400
These primary nodes drain the mandibular incisors.
What are the submental nodes?
400
The function of the genioglossus muscle. Hint: gene simmons
What is stick the tongue out?
400
This vein drains all maxillary teeth.
What is the posterior superior alveolar vein?
500
This condition can occur secondarily when an infection presents in the tongue.
What is Ludwig's angina?
500
The temporalis muscle inserts into this structure.
What is the coronoid process of the mandible?
500
This is the term given to a lymph node that is increased in size, changed in consistency, and tender to the touch.
What is lymphadenopathy?
500
This muscle helps to close off the nasopharynx.
What is the muscle of the uvula?
500
The inferior alveolar vein and posterior superior alveolar vein drain into this structure.
What is the pterygoid plexus?
