Welcome
Tom:
“I’m cool because I’m chewing with my gum!”
Chris:
“Well, I’m cooler because I use my 4 muscles to masticate with my gum!”
Tom:
“Well, I’m the coolest because I use my temporalis, masseter, lateral and medial pterygoid muscles to masticate with my gum!”

Chris:
“Well, I’m even cooler as I have innervations from the mandibular division of the trigeminal nerve supplying my 4 muscles of mastication when I masticate with my gum!”
Tom:
“Well, I’m the coolest of the cool as I have arterial blood supply from the masseteric artery, deep temporal artery, and pterygoid branch of the maxillary artery supplying my 4 muscles of mastication when I masticate with my gum!”
Chris:
“Well, if we both want to be cool, then we will both have to use this website to explain the origin and insertions for the temporalis, masseter, lateral and medial pterygoid so we both can be cool by not spending hours revising like the geek squad but still get top marks in Dr. Sahal’s spotter!”
Tom:
“That’s a cool idea mate, I am so glad that Dr. Sahal has given us this website, I think it makes learning muscles of mastication cool. But still, I think getting a good degree and becoming a dentist is cooler!”
Chris:
“Well, if we both get good marks in this, then we’re one step closer to being a cool dentist or possibly a cool researcher.”
