A thorough understanding of head and neck anatomy is fundamental to safe and effective clinical practice in dentistry and
otorhinolaryngology (ENT). The head and neck region contains complex anatomical structures, including vital nerves, blood
vessels, muscles, glands, and organs responsible for respiration, phonation, mastication, and sensory functions. Precise
anatomical knowledge is essential for accurate diagnosis, surgical planning, anesthesia administration, and prevention of
iatrogenic complications. This article highlights the clinical significance of head and neck anatomy in dental and ENT practice,
emphasizing its role in diagnostic accuracy, surgical safety, and interdisciplinary collaboration.
