Topic: Buccinator


  
  Buccinator Muscle of the Face (Cheek Muscle)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Buccinator originates in the maxilla and mandible in the area of the molar teeth and inserts into various muscles at the corner of the mouth.
It acts to compress the cheeks tight to the teeth, and tighten and pull the lip corners inwards and somewhat laterally, often dimpling the cheeks.
Buccinator is innervated by the deep buccal branches of the facial nerve (VII) and is supplied with blood by the maxillary and facial arteries.

In the maxilla the buccinator attaches to the alveolar process lateral to the molars.
the roots of the second and third molars are superior to the buccinator thus odontogenic infection can easily spread in the left between masseter and buccinator and from there to the infratemporal fossa and temporal fossa between the fascia and the temporalis muscle.
The canine and premolar roots are anterior to the buccinator and odontogenic infection here tends to spread to the canine fossa and then to the lower eyelid while infections from the apecies of the incisors, which are also anterior to the buccinator, will spread to the upper lip.
