Description
What this equipment is and what it's designed for.
This specimen provides a detailed view of the infratemporal fossa and surrounding neck structures.
Mandible and Infratemporal Fossa
The ramus, coronoid process, and mandibular head have been removed to expose the deep infratemporal fossa. The pterygoid muscles are removed to show the lateral pterygoid plate and posterior surface of the maxilla. The buccinator remains visible, originating from the maxilla, pterygomandibular raphe, and mandible. The superior constrictor muscle arises from the posterior pterygomandibular raphe, and the internal laryngeal nerve is preserved.
Neck Muscles and Styloid Region
Identifiable neck muscles include the mylohyoid, strap muscles, and inferior constrictor. The styloid muscles descend from the styloid process to their insertions, and the internal carotid artery is visible deep to the styloid, near the origins of stylohyoid, styloglossus, and stylopharyngeus.
Medial Sagittal View
The medial sagittal surface reveals the lateral wall of the nasal cavity (superior, middle, and inferior conchae; sphenoethmoidal recess; superior, middle, and inferior meatuses), nasopharynx, auditory tube opening, hard and soft palate, oropharynx, laryngopharynx, hyoid bone, and laryngeal cartilages. Tongue muscles, laryngeal, and pharyngeal structures are clearly visible.
Cervical Spine
The mid-sagittal cut displays the vertebral bodies of C2–C5, the atlas (C1) arch, and the dens of the axis (C2).
What you learn
Anatomical model modality. The competencies this equipment trains, in the language of the training plan.
- Identify the contents of the infratemporal fossa and its boundaries.
- Follow the branches of the mandibular nerve and of the maxillary artery.
- Relate the anatomy to the landmarks of the mandibular block.
- Recognise the planes crossed by a deep approach to the face.
Cases and pathologies
The clinical scenarios that can be simulated with this equipment.
- Mandibular nerve block in dentistry and maxillofacial surgery.
- Odontogenic infections spreading deep.
- Tumours of the infratemporal fossa.
- Trismus and temporomandibular joint disorders.
Features and what's included
What the equipment does and what comes in the box, as described by the manufacturer.
Features
- 3D printed replica made from radiological data or from a dissected cadaveric specimen, not a stylised model: this is real anatomy.
- Developed and checked by the anatomists of the Human Anatomy Teaching Centre at Monash University.
- Colourised to distinguish muscle, nerve, artery, vein and bone, and to separate territories or segments.
- Not human tissue: no restrictions on transport, import or use in institutions without permission to work with cadavers.
- Avoids the ethical and preservation problems that come with plastination.
- Supplied with a detailed description of the anatomy represented in the specimen.
Services for this equipment
