Abstract
Although the infratemporal region is well defined anatomically, its complex topography has been the subject of numerous, and sometimes, opposite works. That is the reason why it appeared necessary for the authors to re-evaluate this topic using the original method of Combelles and Boyer, allowing to define three referential planes, and thereby, a tridimensional shape and the volume of this region. This study allows to conclude that the infratemporal region is a triangular prism with an horizontal main axis 47 mm long. Its anterior base has a mean area of 733 mm2. The posterior top consists of the Juvara slot and has a mean area of 490 mm2. This infratemporal prism contains another one, the pterygomandibular space, prismatic too. It widens out from coronoid plane (93 mm2) to mandibular foramen plane (169 mm2) before ending as a narrow groove between the neck of the mandibular condyle and the interpterygoid fascia. The volume of the pterygomandibular space is quite superior to the value usually reported in the dental literature. It is of 4.8 ml to 5.8 ml according to denture. These results point out the opportunity to accomodate more important volumes of anesthesic solutions, than the 1.8 ml usually performed, without any leak out of the infratemporal region.
