Abstract
Mandible is an important and the only movable bone in the craniofacial region. According to the old anatomists, it resembles a u-v shaped blunt bend. The mandible bears teeth, and this horseshoe-shaped/ v- bend bone is attached to many muscles. Understanding anatomy and kinesiology of mandible helps the practitioner/surgeon to choose the best treatment modality and surgical approach.
