What's the difference between mandibular and suspensorium?
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.
(9) Joints are originally created by the author as an imitation of TMJ and mandibular ramus.
(10) Chronic mandibular osteomyelitis must be differentiated from malignant disease involving the mandible.
(11) The study supports the view that even a moderate reduction of mouth opening capacity may indicate mandibular dysfunction and we recommend that this variable be routinely recorded.
(12) The effects of maxillary protracting bow appliance were the maxillary forward movement associated with counter-clockwise rotation of the nasal floor and the mandibular backward movement associated with clockwise rotation.
(13) The stainless steel 316 mesh tray with cancellous bone offers a method of mandibular reconstruction which theoretically is appealing from the viewpoint of basic osseous healing.
(14) Since no single procedure can correct all the different forms of mandibular prognathism, each case is individually planned and a "custom-tailored" technique is applied.
(15) Maxillary and mandibular incisors and premolars of three rhesus monkeys were used.
(16) A comparative cephalometric and tomographic study prior to the treatment and after completion of the treatment revealed the following results: an improvement in the occlusal relationships due to both skeletal (an anterior mandibular displacement and an increase in the mandibular length) and dentoalveolar changes; it was possible to produce a growth stimulation of the mandibular condyle associated with a translation of the glenoid fossa by using an elastic activator; there was a direct correlation between the effects of the treatment and the age period of the patients (mixed dentition).
(17) We have studied the expression of genes that typify osteogenic differentiation in mandibular condyles during in vitro cultivation.
(18) The method and the program are illustrated using the leave-one-out method on a sample of N = 12 male rhesus monkeys whose mandibular ramus height was measured five times at yearly intervals.
(19) Applying the principles of mechanics, the authors have studied and compared the bony structures of the temporo-mandibular joint.
(20) Insertion of the material after careful tailoring to the individual patient's own mandibular size and configuration requires a generous posterior lower buccal sulcus incision.
Suspensorium
Definition:
(n.) Anything which suspends or holds up a part: especially, the mandibular suspensorium (a series of bones, or of cartilages representing them) which connects the base of the lower jaw with the skull in most vertebrates below mammals.
Example Sentences:
(1) The structure and evolution of the mandible, suspensorium, and stapes of mammal-like reptiles and early mammals are examined in an attempt to determine how, why, and when in phylogeny the precursors of the mammalian tympanic bone, malleus, and incus (postdentary jaw elements and quadrate) came to function in the reception of air-borne sound.
(2) A conspicuous smooth muscle (of transverse sectional area comparable to that of the taenia coli) situated in the suspensorium ovarii and in the ligamentum ovarii proprium of the guinea-pig is described.
(3) Other components, e.g., the lower jaw, jaw suspensorium, and the hyobranchial skeleton, initially assume a mid-metamorphic configuration, which is subsequently remodeled before hatching.
(4) Thirteen of the adult complement of 17 bones form in the embryo, beginning with two bones of the jaw and jaw suspensorium, the angulosplenial and squamosal.
