Anatomy of the jaw, dentition, and related regions

J J Abrahams et al. Semin Ultrasound CT MR. 1995 Dec.

Abstract

The jaw has traditionally been evaluated by dentists and oral surgeons using conventional panoramic and intraoral films. Recently, CT software programs specifically developed to evaluate dental implant patients have provided radiologists with a new window through which to assess anatomy and pathology of the jaw. The anatomy of this region, including the dentitian, and related structures are discussed in this section.
