[Oral Anatomy.]

With regard to oral cavity, it is known that jaw bone morphology greatly changes with tooth loss. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the muscles attached to the jaw bone and the surrounding vessels and nerves, in connection with the jaw bone morphology after tooth loss. As an example, the height of the mandibular bone decreases to the position of the mylohyoid line after tooth loss. By this marked morphological change in the alveolar area, the lingual nerve and the lingual artery branches running in the sublingual area on the mandibular inner surface becomes located in the area almost the same as the alveolar crest.
