| The roots of these molars extend into the mylohyoid muscle, providing a route to the mandibular spaces. |
|
| In the middle of the mouth, it attaches to the geniohyoid and mylohyoid muscles at the base of the mouth. |
|
| At the lingual side of the mandible, where the lesion was mostly expanded, elevation of soft tissues went as deep as the mylohyoid muscle. |
|
| Medially, it abutted and displaced the adjacent anterior belly of the digastric and mylohyoid muscles. |
|
| The upper part of the medial surface rests on the mylohyoid muscle anteriorly and the hyoglossus muscle posteriorly. |
|
| Most dermoid cysts are located superior to the mylohyoid muscle. |
|
| Within the floor of mouth, the term ranula may be applied to mucin which dissects into the mylohyoid muscle, resulting in chin or upper neck swelling. |
|
| Ahmed M and Strauss M et al also reported bilateral submandibular gland aplasia with associated prolapsing sublingual salivary tissue through mylohyoid muscle. |
|
| The sublingual space is located inferior to intrinsic muscles of the oral tongue, lateral to the genioglossus-geniohyoid complex and superomedial to the mylohyoid muscle. |
|
| The mylohyoid muscle separates the submandibular and sublingual spaces. |
