    INJECTABLES ANATOMY www.aestheticmed.co.uk Nerve tracking Dr Sotirios Foutsizoglou on the anatomy of the facial nerve he anatomy of the human face has received enormous attention during the last few years, as a plethora of anti- ageing procedures, both surgical and non-surgical, are being performed with increasing frequency. The success of each of those procedures is greatly dependent on Tthe sound knowledge of the underlying facial anatomy and the understanding of the age-related changes occurring in the facial skeleton, ligaments, muscles, facial fat compartments, and skin. The facial nerve is the most important motor nerve of the face as it is the sole motor supply to all the muscles of facial expression and other muscles derived from the mesenchyme in the embryonic second pharyngeal arch.1 The danger zone for facial nerve injury has been well described. Confidence when approaching the nerve and its branches comes from an understanding of its three dimensional course relative to the layered facial soft tissue and being aware of surface anatomy landmarks and measurements as will be discussed in this article. Aesthetic medicine is not static, it is ever evolving and new exciting knowledge emerges every day unmasking the relationship of the ageing process and the macroscopic and microscopic (intrinsic) age-related changes. Sound anatomical knowledge, taking into consideration the natural balance between the different facial structures and facial layers, is fundamental to understanding these changes which will subsequently help us develop more effective, natural, long-standing and most importantly, safer rejuvenating treatments and procedures. The soft tissue of the face is arranged in five layers: 1) Skin; 2) Subcutaneous fat layer; 3) Superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS); 4) Areolar tissue or loose connective tissue (most clearly seen in the scalp and forehead); 5) Deep fascia formed by the periosteum of facial bones and the fascial covering of the muscles of mastication (lateral face).

  • Salivary Glands
    GASTROINTESTINAL SYSTEM [Anatomy and functions of salivary gland] 1 INTRODUCTION Digestive system is made up of gastrointestinal tract (GI tract) or alimentary canal and accessory organs, which help in the process of digestion and absorption. GI tract is a tubular structure extending from the mouth up to anus, with a length of about 30 feet. GI tract is formed by two types of organs: • Primary digestive organs. • Accessory digestive organs 2 Primary Digestive Organs: Primary digestive organs are the organs where actual digestion takes place. Primary digestive organs are: Mouth Pharynx Esophagus Stomach 3 Anatomy and functions of mouth: FUNCTIONAL ANATOMY OF MOUTH: Mouth is otherwise known as oral cavity or buccal cavity. It is formed by cheeks, lips and palate. It encloses the teeth, tongue and salivary glands. Mouth opens anteriorly to the exterior through lips and posteriorly through fauces into the pharynx. Digestive juice present in the mouth is saliva, which is secreted by the salivary glands. 4 ANATOMY OF MOUTH 5 FUNCTIONS OF MOUTH: Primary function of mouth is eating and it has few other important functions also. Functions of mouth include: Ingestion of food materials. Chewing the food and mixing it with saliva. Appreciation of taste of the food. Transfer of food (bolus) to the esophagus by swallowing . Role in speech . Social functions such as smiling and other expressions. 6 SALIVARY GLANDS: The saliva is secreted by three pairs of major (larger) salivary glands and some minor (small) salivary glands. Major glands are: 1. Parotid glands 2. Submaxillary or submandibular glands 3. Sublingual glands. 7 Parotid Glands: Parotid glands are the largest of all salivary glands, situated at the side of the face just below and in front of the ear.

  • Anatomy of the Ageing Lip
    AESTHETIC FOCUS Anatomy of the ageing lip With lip augmentation an ever popular option for those seeking more youthful looks it is vital that practitioners have a proper understanding of anatomy. In the first of our two-part special focus on lipsDr Foutsizoglou provides a comprehensive guide to function and anatomy. BY SOTIRIOS FOUTSIZOGLOU he lips are pliable, mobile, muscular folds that encircle the opening of the oral cavity. They contain the orbicularis oris and superior and inferior labial vessels and nerves. The lips are covered externally by skin and internally by mucous membrane. A sagittal cut through the lip can reveal the layers of soft tissue that form this relatively simple anatomical structure. That is, from Tsuperficial to deep: skin, superficial fat compartment, orbicularis oris muscle, deep fat compartment and mucosa. The lips are used for grasping food, sucking liquids, clearing food from the oral vestibule, forming speech, osculation, and controlling the size of the oral aperture. Functions of the lips as part of the tactile senses. Lips are very sensitive to touch, warmth and cold. Food intake Lips serve to close the mouth airtight shut, Erogenous zone to hold food and drink inside. Because of their high number of nerve endings, the lips are an erogenous zone.

    Review article Annals and Essences of Dentistry doi:10.5368/aedj.2011.3.4.4.3 ROLE OF SALIVA IN PERIODONTAL HEALTH & DISEASE– A REVIEW 1 1 Sanjay Vasudevan Professor 1 Department of Periodontia,SRM Dental College ,Kattankulathur ,chennai. ABSTRACT: Saliva is essential for maintaining the protection and normal functioning of the masticatory system. A 'dry mouth' or xerostomia resulting from a perceived reduction in salivary flow may lead to numerous signs and symptoms of oral dysfunction. The quality of life for affected people may be poor. Many of these persons are taking multiple medications that cause a reduced salivary flow, and the number of people taking such drugs can be expected to increase. The ingestion of softer cariogenic foods, and acidic foods and beverages in attempts to stimulate an increased saliva flow, is disastrous for the teeth. KEYWORDS: Acquired Dental Pellicle, Plaque Biofilm, Oropharyngeal, Sjogren's Syndrome INTRODUCTION The production of adequate amounts of unstimulated clears the mouth of food detritus, microorganisms and and stimulated normal salivary secretions is critical for the harmful dietary acids and gastric reflux acid4. The oral prevention of tooth erosion, dental caries and other clearance rate is much faster from the lingual of the adverse oral, pharyngeal and esophageal conditions. mandibular incisors than from the facial of the maxillary Unfortunately, however, the importance of saliva for incisors and mandibular molars5, which probably accounts maintaining oral health does not appear to be fully for the less frequent involvement of the mandibular appreciated by dental practitioners.1" Hyposalivation, from anterior teeth in dental caries and erosion.

  • (OC) and Its Accessory Organs Namely; the Tongue, Teeth, Salivary Glands
    ORAL CAVITY The oral cavity (O.C) and its accessory organs namely; the tongue, teeth, salivary glands are concerned with the prehension, mastication and in salivation of food i.e. they are involved in the conversion of food for palatability. The O.C. extends from the lips into the entrance of the pharynx. The osseous support of the mouth is provided by premaxilla, palatine, alveoli processes of the maxilla, the horizontal part of the palatine bone dorsally, the mandibular rami laterally of the body of the mandible ventrally. The soft structures complying with the wall of the mouth are the cheeks laterally, the lips rostrally and the mylohyoid ventrally. Its dorsal limit or roof is the hard palate. Caudally, the oral cavity communicates with the oropharynx by a narrow opening called the Isthmus faucium formed by roof of the tongue and the soft palate, it is usually closed. When the jaws are closed, the mouth is divided by the teeth and the alveolar processes into vestibuble and oral cavity proper. These two cavities communicates via the interdental spaces. The part of the vestibule between the incisors and the lips is the labial vestibule, while that between the check teeth and the check is the buccal Vestibule. Rostrally, two narrow incisive ducts connect the oral cavity and the nasal cavity. The duct opens on the incisive papillae. The mucus membrane of the O.C. is usually pink but may be pigmented (black) in some places. It is well supplied with blood vessels and in its sub mucosa it contains serous or mucous gland know as the labial, buccal and lingual glands (depending on their location).
