Arterial supply of the guinea pig mandible.

It has been shown that the blood supply of the coronoid process, mandibular angle, and condyle of the rat, monkey, and man arises from arteries that supply the muscles attaching to these processes, and generally not from the inferior alveolar artery which primarily supplies the mandibular body and teeth.'-5 It is the purpose of this study to demonstrate the intraosseous blood supply of the guinea pig mandible with special reference to the regions of the condyle, coronoid process, and the mandibular angle.
