All good dentist and dental student should understand the anatomy of this nerve. "So, do you have any nerve to say no, O dental student?", inquire a voice in my head. Alright, this post was copied and pasted from www.bartleby.com , so I just minor additional arm here. I just thought that I actually already post the Indonesian version, but I found it nowhere.

Patients indeed might feel anxious about what they experience, but if the dentist know what to do next and have already explained it beforehand, rest assured that it is nothing to fret about.

T wo same picture at two consecutive posts? No kidding! I just realized that the previous post might gave a teaser about normal radiology appearance of maxilla and mandibula extraorally. There were a lot of arrow indicate several anatomic landmark that sometimes superimposed with another landmark. No wonder! It's all because radiograph is 2D projection of 3D structures.

W hat is more essential than diagnose a disease or disorder of jaws and teeth via X-ray? Umm...Technique? Wait, instruments? Err...er...wh-what is it? The correct answer for this prologue question is KNOWLEDGE about the normal anatomy about them. Yup, by mastering or at least acknowledging their normal appearance in 3D and 2D, one can diagnose a disease or disorder of jaws and teeth. Of course, X-ray is considered as supporting examination, but we can't enjoy pizza without yeast, right? あれ? Do you get what I mean? Ehehe... Well, here I post my very first lecture about radiology.
