This document discusses several fascial spaces related to the lower jaw:
- The primary mandibular spaces include the submental, buccal, submandibular, and sublingual spaces.
- The secondary mandibular spaces include the masseteric, pterygomandibular, and temporal spaces.
- Each space is defined by its anatomical boundaries and contents. Infections may spread between spaces through fascial connections or erosion of fascial layers. Understanding these spaces is important for clinicians to properly diagnose and treat infections in the lower jaw region.
