Oral and maxillofacial pathology (also termed oral pathology, stomatognathic disease, dental disease, or mouth disease) refers to the diseases of the mouth (oral cavity or stoma), jaws (maxillae or gnath) and related structures such as salivary glands, temporomandibular joints, facial muscles and perioral skin (the skin around the mouth).
The maxilla is the fusion of two bones and forms the upper jaw. The maxilla attaches to the zygomatic or cheek bones. The maxilla holds the upper teeth. The mandible is also known as the lower jaw. It holds the lower teeth. The mandible is connected to the upper part of the skull by two jaw joints.
