Craniofacial Pain and Pathofunction - Part III

Head and Neck Anatomy with Dissection

Comments from previous course attendees:
“Every dentist in a general practice should be required to take this course.”
“In addition to valuable course information, I was able to take home a resource manual and a network of professionals I can call upon for further information.”

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

This three day program has been designed by Drs. Mahan and Larkin to provide participants the opportunity to perform an in-depth dissection of the head and neck. Each laboratory session will be preceded by a lecture and discussion and will conclude with a clinical summary. Program emphasis will be on osteology, the oral cavity, the nasal cavity, the digastric triangle, and the temporomandibular joint. The oral cavity will be dissected to demonstrate the relationship of blood vessels, nerves, glands, ducts, and muscle attachments to the performance of dental procedures. Participants will work in two-member teams, each dissecting half a provided cadaver head.

Superficial structures of the face will be dissected to provide access to the mandibular muscles and the ramus. The deeper structures will then be dissected, with major emphasis on the temporomandibular joint. Participants will review a videotape of this procedure prior to actual dissection.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

At the end of the course, each participant should be able to:

• Describe the 22 bones of the skull and name structures that pass through formina in these bones
• Describe the structures lying beneath the floor of the mouth lateral to the tongue
• Examine the salivary glands to diagnose sialodochitis
• Describe the blood supply, innervation and lymphatic drainage of the mouth, nasal cavity, digastric triangle, face, infratemporal fossa and TM joint
• Perform a trigeminal second division nerve block on his/her cadaver
• Describe eight different types of TM joint intra articular pathofunctions
• Understand the anatomy involved in the emergency tracheotomy
