Facial

QuestionAnswer
Number of facial bones 14 - R/L nasal, R/L lacrimal, R/L maxillary, R/L zygomatic, R/L palantine, R/L inferior nasal conchae, vomer, mandible
nasion junction of two nasal bones
nasal bones articulate with each other at the MSP
nasal bones articulate on the superior side with the frontal bone
nasal bones articulate posterosuperiorally with perpendicular plate of ethmoid bone
nasal bones articulate on each lateral side with maxillae
lacrimal bones are the smallest and the skull and located in the anterior part of medial wall of orbits between labryinth of ethmoid and maxilla
the lacrimal bones articulate with what bones? frontal, ethmoid, maxilla, inferior nasal concha
the largest immovable bone of the face is the maxilla
the alveolar process of the maxilla is the inferior borders of spongy bone that supports the roots of teeth
the anterior nasal spine of the maxilla is forward, pointed process at the midline junction of maxillary bones
acanthion the midpoint of the junction of maxillary bones
maxilla each one (L/R) articulates with all other facial bones, except for the mandible, plus frontal and ethmoid cranial bones
maxilla forms... - parts of lateral walls and most of floor of nasal cavity, - part of floor of orbit - three fourths of roof of mouth - also has zygomatic process that articulates with zygoma to form part of cheek
bones that form the prominence of the cheeks zygomatic
the temporal process of the zygomatic bones extends... posteriorly to join zygomatic process of temporal bone
the zygomatic arch is formed by... union of temporal process of zygoma and zygomatic process of temporal bone
the zygomatic bone articulates superiorly with the frontal bone
the zygomatic bone articulates laterally with the zygomatic process of temporal bone
the zygomatic bone articulates anteriorly with the maxilla
the zygomatic bone articulates posterioly with sphenoid
palantine bones two L shaped bones composed of vertical and horizontal plates
horizontal plates of palantine bones articulate with maxillae to complete the posterior fourth of bony palate (roof of mouth)
vertical portions of palantine bones extend upward between maxillae and pterygoid processes of sphenoid in posterior nasal cavit
inferior nasal conchae long, narrow, very thin bones with a lateral curl, scroll-like appearance
vomer thin plate of bone siutated in MSP of floor of nasal cavity
vomer forms inferior nasal septum along with ethmoid
the superior border of the volmer articulates with body of sphenoid bone
Superior part of anterior border of vomer articulates with perpendicular plate of ethmoid bone
the largest and densest bone of the face is the mandible
rami two vertical portions on each side of body of mandibles
angle of mandible junction of mandibular body and ramus, also called gonion
mental protuberance of mandible anterior, triangular prominence (chin)
hyoid bone small u-shaped bone at base of tongue not facial or cranial only bone in body that doesn't articulate with another bone
each orbit is composed of what seven bones? frontal, sphenoid, ethmoid, maxilla, zygoma, lacrimal, palatine
CR centering for lateral facial bone shot Enter at zygoma, midway between outer canthus and EAM
what line is parallel to IR for lateral facial bone shot? IOML
CR centering for Waters (parietocanthial) exit at acanthion
Part positioning for Waters shot OML 37 degrees angle with IR
OML angles for Waters and Modified Waters 37, 55
the modified waters method features what modificaon? slghtly less chin extension
where are the petrous ridges in both Waters shots? Waters - below maxillary sinuses Modified Waters - in lower third of maxillary sinuses
Each waters shot is best for waters - maxillary sinuses modified waters - orbital floor fractures
part positioning for reverse waters OML forms 37 degree angle with IR, neck extended as tolerated
CR placement for reverse waters 30 cephalad toward acanthion, enter at midline of acanthion
PA Axial (Caldwell) facial bones part positioning OML perpendicular to IR
PA Axial (Caldwell) facial bones CR exit nasion
lateral nasal bones part positioning IOML parallel to floor
lateral nasal bones CR Perpendicular to IR enter at right angle to nasal bones (approximately ½ inch inferior to nasion)
Submentovertical (SMV) - zygomatic arches part positioning IOML parallel to to IR, ensure mandibular condyles are equidistant from IR
Submentovertical (SMV) - zygomatic arches CR perpendicular to IOML, directed from below mandible
Tangential - zygomatic arches part positioning IOML parallel to IR Rotate head 15° toward affected side Tilt head 15° toward opposite shoulder
Tangential - zygomatic arches - CR Directed tangentially to zygomatic arch Centered to arch of interest
PA axial mandibular rami - part positioning OML perpendicular to IR
PA axial mandibular rami - CR 20-25 degrees cephalad exit at level of mandibular rami
Axiolateral – Mandible (Rami) part positioning IPL perpendicular to IR
Axiolateral – Mandible (Rami) - CR 25 degrees cephalad, enter inferior to mandibular angle on side opposite IR, exit at ramus of interest
axiolateral obliques (mandible?) Head rotated varying degrees toward IR. 25° cephalad Enter inferior to mandibular angle of opposite side. Exit at body of mandible of interest
AP axial - TMJs - part positioning OML perpendicular to IR
AP axial - TMJs - CR centering 35 degrees caudad to OML, Enter approximately 2½–3 inches above glabella Pass through TMJ region
Axiolateral Oblique – TMJs - part positioning MSP parallel to IR, IPL perpendicular to IR, IOML parallel to transverse axis of IR
Axiolateral Oblique – TMJs - CR 15° caudad Enter approximately 1½ inches superior to EAM on opposite side Exit at TMJ of interest
kVp for Water's facial view 75 kVp
when x raying facial bones, reduce repeats to protect eyes and thyroid
perform facial bones erect for what reason? air fluid levels
if patient can't stand, use horizontal beam
7 bones that make up orbits frontal, sphenoid, zygomatic, ethmoid, lacrimal, maxilla, palantine
what bones form the roof of the mouth? maxilla, palantine bones
degrees of angulation for Law method 15 degrees
degrees of angulation for Schuller method 25 degrees
What is the best projection for a bony nasal septum? Waters
angle of symphysis of mandible 45 degrees
Difference in angulation between Waters and Modifed Waters method? Waters - neck is extended so that OML is at 37 degrees - clears petrous ridges below maxillary sinuses Modified - uses less extension and 55 degrees - petrous ridges projected through lower half of maxillary sinuses to better visualize orbital rims
What does the Waters method show? maxillary sinuses (free of petrous ridges)
What does the modified Waters method show? petrous ridges in lower maxillary sinuses
The chin and petrous ridges move in what direction from each other? opposite
If petrous ridges are too high, do what? If petrous ridges are too low, do what? raise chin, lower chin
