Mandibular
Definition:
(a.) Of or pertaining to a mandible; like a mandible.
(n.) The principal mandibular bone; the mandible.
Example Sentences:
(1) Most of the subjects' mandibular movements did not improve to the point of making reproducible border movements on a pantograph.
(2) These changes were accomplished by an increase in sagittal condylar growth and by bone resorption at the posterior part of the mandibular lower border.
(3) (b) abnormal morphologic of the glenoid fossa, mandibulars condyle and the neck of mandibula were seen.
(4) A significant concentration of the activity could be observed for the most part in the equilateral Lymphonoduli cervicales profundi and superficiales and for the less part also in the equilateral Lymphonoduli mandibulares and contralateral Lymphonoduli cervicales profoundi.
(5) A training device is used in conjunction with an exercise program to teach muscle control for retention of a mandibular denture.
(6) After dental loss, occlusal reconstruction is required to prevent dental migration, to reestablish masticatory function and to protect the temporo-mandibular joint.
(7) The author describes three systems for (1) the treatment of mandibular fractures; (2) the treatment of midface fractures, for reconstructive surgery of the facial skeleton and the skull, and for orthognathic surgery; and (3) the reconstruction of mandibular defects including condyle replacement.
(8) In order to clarify the development of mandibular movements associated with growth and development of the stomatognathic system, we compared the mandibular movements of children with normal occlusion at different Hellman's dental age between IIA and IIIB, during tooth tapping movements using the following 7 different kinds of frequency; ad lib.
