Abstract

The jaw is a pair of bones forming the framework of the mouth, including the movable lower jaw (mandible) and fixed upper jaw (maxilla). The mandible consists of the horizontal arch, containing the teeth and the ascending arch (ramus) with the hinge joint at the end, articulating with the glenoid cavity of the temporal bone of the skull. This chapter illustrates the normal CT anatomy of the jaw.
