PeriodonticsCraters in the facial and lingual interdental bone are typically associated with periodontal disease and result from the loss of bone due to inflammation and infection. Osseous regeneration procedures, such as guided bone regeneration (GBR) or the use of bone grafts, are specifically designed to restore lost bone structure. These procedures promote the growth of new bone in the affected areas, effectively filling in the craters and restoring the contour of the alveolar ridge. Gingivectomy and curettage are more focused on soft tissue management and do not address the underlying bone loss, while osseous recontouring may not be as effective in restoring lost bone volume.

Oral SurgeryWhile the buccal nerve block is used to anesthetize the buccal mucosa and buccal
gingival tissues of the maxillary molars, the actual technique does not
typically produce any specific subjective symptoms in the patient other than the
sensation of the needle. The patient may feel numbness if the anesthetic
solution is inadvertently placed in the oral mucosa or if the block is done
improperly.

PhysiologyThe parasympathetic nervous system, which is cholinergic, stimulates the detrusor muscle of the urinary bladder to contract and the trigone muscle to relax, facilitating micturition (urination). This is mediated by the activation of muscarinic M3 receptors.

AnatomyFacial Artery:
1: True, it has cervical and facial portions.
2: True, it arises from the external carotid artery above the lingual artery.
3: True, it crosses the mandible at the anterior edge of the masseter muscle.
4: False, the cervical portion lies beneath the platysma,
but the facial portion does not exactly lie "superficial in the carotid
triangle"; rather, the facial artery travels more superficially than the
cervical part in its course.
