Definition. English. The Vestibule (vestibulum oris) is a slit-like space, bounded externally by the lips and cheeks; internally by the gums and teeth. It communicates with the surface of the body by the rima or orifice of the mouth.
Vestibule. The horseshoe-shaped vestibule is situated anteriorly. It is the space between the lips/cheeks, and the gums/teeth. The vestibule communicates with the mouth proper via the space behind the third molar tooth, and with the exterior through the oral fissure.
The oral vestibule is a small
slit-like space between the teeth and inner mucosal lining of the lips and cheeks. The mucosa of the lips and cheeks continues onto the gingiva to form the superior and inferior boundaries of the vestibule.The Vestibule (
vestibulum oris) is a slit-like space, bounded externally by the lips and cheeks; internally by the gums and teeth. It communicates with the surface of the body by the rima or orifice of the mouth.
The two divisions of the oral cavity are the vestibule and the mouth cavity proper. The horseshoe-shaped vestibule is situated anteriorly. It is the space between the lips/cheeks, and the gums/teeth. The vestibule communicates with the mouth proper via the space behind the third molar tooth, and with the exterior through the oral fissure.
The vestibule is the
compartment between the anterior and lateral aspects of the teeth and gingiva and the posterior and medial aspects of the lips and cheeks. Moving further inside is the oral cavity proper, bounded by the dental arches anteriorly and laterally, and the palate superiorly.Oral Vestibule The first part of the oral cavity, the vestibule, opening with the
oral fissure, is bounded by the lips and mucus lining of the cheeks in front, and the teeth, gum, and alveolar processes (the thick bony ridge containing the tooth sockets) in the back. It also includes the fleshy mobile part of the tongue.
