Salivary Gland Anatomical Features
PAROTID GLAND 1.Lie superficial to posterior aspect of the masseter muscles & ascending rami of mandible,in
“inverted triangular” shape below zygomatic arch.
2. Peripheral portions may extend to the mastoid process, along anterior aspect of SCM
muscle & around posterior border of mandible into pterygomandibular space.
3. The facial nerve branches divide gland into superficial & deep lobes.
4. The Stensen duct( diameter= 1-3 mm & L= 6cm) courses superficial to masseter muscle then
curves sharply at anterior edge of masseter muscle to pierce buccinator muscle &enter oral
cavity @ Maxillary 2nd Molar.
5. Structure passing through parotid gland→ facial nerve & it’s branches, retro mandibular vein
& external carotid artery, auriculotemporal nerve parts, superficial & deep parotid lymph
nodes.
6. The parotid gland receives neural innervation from 9th CN (glossopharyngeal) nerve via
auriculo-temporal nerve from the otic ganglion.
SUB MANDIBULAR 1. Located in “submandibular triangle” , formed by anterior & posterior belly of the digastric &
GLAND inferior border of mandible superiorly.
2. Wharton duct(length= 5cm & diameter= 2-4mm) passes forward along superior surface of
mylohyoid muscle in sublingual space, adjacent to lingual nerve.
3. Glossopharyngeal → posterior 1/3rd of tongue, & chorda tympani branch of the facial nerve
provides taste sensation to anterior 2/3rd of tongue.
4. In a medial position, Wharton duct is vulnerable to injury in the third molar region.
5. The Wharton duct opens into floor of mouth via a muscular punctum located close to
mandibular incisors at most anterior aspect of junction of lingual frenum & floor of mouth.
6. The punctum is a constricted portion of the duct, & it functions to limit retrograde flow of
bacteria-laden oral fluids into the ductal system.
SUB LINGUAL 1. Located on superior surface of mylohyoid muscle, in sublingual space, & separated from oral
GLAND cavity by a thin layer of oral mucosa in anterior floor of the mouth.
2. The main acinar ducts of sublingual glands are called Bartholin ducts and in most instances
coalesce to form 8 to 20 ducts of Rivinus which open on plica sublingualis.
3. The sublingual & submandibular glands are innervated by facial (VII) nerve through
submandibular ganglion via chorda tympani nerve.

MANDIBULAR FRACTURE KEY POINTS
CLASSIFICATION OF FRACTURE:
• Type of fracture ( simple, compound, comminuted, pathological).
• Site of fracture – most used classification/ linear fracture( dento alveolar, condyle, coronoid, ramus,
angle, body, para symphysis & symphysis.
• Causes of fracture ( direct violence, indirect violence & excessive muscular contraction).
• Fracture with gross communication- extensive loss
• Fracture without gross communication- no extensive loss
• Most common overall mandibular fracture is---- condylar fracture.
• Simple fracture (closed fracture)→ linear fracture
• Compound fracture (Open)→ fracture is communicating intra or extra orally. Via the periodontal
membrane involving socket.
• Comminuted fracture→ shattering of bone into multiple pieces.
• Pathological fracture→ results from minimal Trauma already weakened by osteomyelitis, neoplasm
• Greenstick fracture: only in children, Only one cortex broken.
• Mandibular fracture more common than middle 3rd fracture.
• Order of common facial fracture: mandible> maxilla> zygoma> nasal bones.
• Unilateral fracture: by direct violence, one or more than one fracture.
• Bilateral fracture: by direct and indirect violence, commonly involving angle & oppositecondylar neck
or canine region.
• Multiple fracture: direct with indirect violence, common symphysis fracture & both condyle. Seen
also in epileptic patients & guardsman’s fracture.
• Condyle is commonest site for mandibular fracture & angle fracture is the most frequent site, when
only one fracture is present.
• Fracture of tooth bearing areas--- compound fracture
• Compound fractures complicated by bone & soft tissue loss→ comminuted
• In lamellar type fracture, osteosynthesis by 02 plates is done.
• Impacted fracture which is driven into another portion of bone.
• Indirect : a fracture at a point distant from the site of injury.
• Complicated/complex fracture: damage to adjacent soft tissue, can be simple or compound.
• Dentition Classification of fractures:
• Developed by Kazanjian and Converse:
1) Class I: teeth are present on both sides of the fracture line.
2) Class II: Teeth present only on one side of the fracture line.
3) Class III: Patient is edentulous
• Maxilla tolerance level--- 140lb, Mandible: 425lb & symphysis fracture—800-900lb

Coronoid process--- Temporalis
Ramus--- Masseter
Condylar Neck---- lateral pterygoid
Rami near angle--- medial pterygoid
Symphysis---- mylohyoid & geniohyoid
Parasymphysis--- geniogloss

Oral Surgery Key Points By Danesh Kumar-SIOHS/ JSMU (03312415069) 15


• Favorable fracture--- fracture line & muscle pull resist displacement.
• Unfavorable fracture--- muscle pull results in displacement of fracture portion.
• Frequent direction of dislocation of condylar neck—Medial & forward
• Angle fracture---- If vertical fracture—lingual pull & horizontal fracture— upward
• Most edentulous mandibular fracture @ Body near posterior attachment of mylohyoid.
• Bucket handle displacement: downward & backward angulation of Mandible because
of digastric & mylohyoid muscles.
• Mandible blood supply by 1) periosteum (centripetal) & 2) inferior dental artery
(centrifugal).
• Facial palsy--- lower motor neuron injury, TMJ---- traumatic arthritis, synovial effusion,
fibrous/ bony ankylosis.
