Endodontics

Discoloration of endodontically treated teeth results from all the mentioned factors: 1) Improper debridement - leaving pulp tissue remnants that decompose and stain dentin, 2) Sealer cement left in pulp chamber - certain sealers contain heavy metals that cause gray discoloration, 3) Obturating materials - silver points cause gray-black discoloration, some sealers stain over time. Prevention involves: thorough pulp chamber cleaning, complete sealer removal from chamber, avoiding silver points, and proper access cavity seal.

Anatomy

Lateral pterygoid (paired action):

When both muscles contract together, they pull the condyles and articular discs forward → protrusion of the mandible.

This is important in opening the mouth beyond the initial hinge movement.

Unilateral contraction:

Produces side-to-side (lateral) movements of the mandible, useful in grinding food.

Elevation/Depression:

Elevation is mainly by masseter, temporalis, medial pterygoid.

Depression is mainly by suprahyoid muscles (digastric, geniohyoid, mylohyoid) and gravity.

Lateral pterygoid assists in depression only indirectly by pulling the condyle forward, but its primary function is protrusion.
