BONES
And Their Radiographic
Appearance
22 Bones make up the skull
Cranial bones include:
• Occipital (one)
• Frontal (one)
• Parietal (two)
• Temporal (two)
• Sphenoid (one)
• Ethmoid (one)
Cranial bones surround
the brain
The Skull Bones:
1 - mandible
2 - maxilla
3 - zygomatic
4 - nasal bone
5 - frontal bone
6 - sphenoid bone
7 - temporal
8 - occipital bone
9 - lacrimal bone
10 - ethmoid bone
11 - parietal bone
Facial bones include:
• Mandible (one)
• Maxilla (two)
• Zygomatic (two)
• Lacrimal (two)
• Nasal (two)
• Inferior nasal conchal
(two)
• Vomer (one)
Terms that describe bone anatomy
• Process – general term
for any prominence
• Fossa - depression on
the surface of the bone
• Suture – where two
bones join
• Tuberosity – bony
prominance, usually
where muscle attaches,
ie maxillary tuberosity
suture
Temporal fossa
Mastoid process
Terms that describe bone anatomy
• Notch – indentation
on the edge of a bone
• Ridge – elongated
prominence
• Foramen - opening
Mental foramen
External oblique ridge
Mandibular notch
Two types of Bone – compact and
cancellous
• Cancellous bone
(also called spongy
bone) makes up
center of bones
• Contains bone
marrow spaces
(called “trabeculation”
on radiographs)
• More radiolucent than
compact bone
trabeculation
Compact Bone
1. Compact boneforms plates that
form outside of
bones, linings for
alveolus, foramina,
etc…
2. Is more radiopaque
because of its
density
Compact bone
Cancellous bone
Compact Bone Lines Alveolus (socket)
It is also called (*and
means same thing):
1. Lamina dura (on
radiographs only)
2. Cribriform plate
3. Cortical bone
4. Alveolar bone proper
Compact bone outlines alveolar crest (when no
bone has been lost due to periodontal disease!)
Alveolar crest (radiopaque)
Periodontal ligament space
(radiolucent lining)
Lamina dura
(radiopaque lining)
Do you see any compact bone
outlining the alveolar crest?

Temporomandibular Joint
Articular or gleniod fossa
Articular eminance
• Mandibular condyle
articulates with temporal
bone in the articular fossa
(also called glenoid fossa,
mandibular fossa)
• Most anterior border of
articular fossa is the
articular eminance
• If someone opens wide
and the condyle slides
anterior to the eminance,
the person has “lockjaw”

Dehiscence vs Fenestration
• Bony defects of
unknown cause
• Neither can be found
radiographically, only
during surgery
• Fenestration, defect
completely surrounded
by bone
• Dehiscence, alveolar
crest bone absent
fenestration
dehiscence
Bones of the Orbit
In order of appearance
• Frontal
• Zygomatic
• Maxillary
• Palatine
• Sphenoid
• Lacrimal
• Ethmoid
Nasal Cavity
Orbit
Maxillary Sinus
Zygomatic Arch
• Commonly called
the “cheekbone”
• Comprised of
three bones,
temporal, maxilla,
zygoma
temporal
zygoma
maxilla
sutures
Zygomatic Arch
Zygomatic process of
temporal bone
joins with temporal
process of zygoma
Maxillary process of zygoma
joins with zygomatic
process of maxilla
Zygomatic Arch
Radiographically, the zygomatic arch appears as a
radiopaque horseshoe shaped structure above maxillary
molars (not always seen)
Maxillary Sinus – an opening in the maxillary
bone, acts as a filter for inhaled air
Location of the sinus
Inside of sinus with bony covering removed
Inverted Y
• Maxillary sinus meets
nasal cavity in area of
canine
• On radiographs, wall of
sinus crosses wall of
nasal cavity (both are
radiopaque because they are
compact bone)
• Result is the “inverted Y”

partially covers the mandibular foramen

(muscles attach here)

Salivary gland)

External oblique ridge

External oblique ridge
(thicker radiopaque band)
Note: External/internal ridges often “superimposed” over each other radiographically;
therefore difficult to differentiate between the two; external always superior to internal
oblique ridge (mylohyoid muscle attachment); internal usually runs below roots of mandibular
molars (see figure 27-41, 27-43 Iannucci)
