It lies between the anterior belly of the digastric muscle inferiorly and the geniohyoid superiorly. In Part I, the anatomy and embryology of the mylohyoid muscle will be reviewed in preparation for the clinical discussion in Part II.<br />Competing Interests: The authors report no conflicts of interest.<br /> (Copyright © 2023 by Mutaz B.
