Mandibular notch

The upper border of the ramus of mandible is thin, and is surmounted by two processes, the coronoid process in front and the condyloid process behind, separated by a deep concavity, the mandibular notch. It allows the passage of the masseteric nerve (a branch of the mandibular nerve (V3) division of the trigeminal nerve), masseteric artery and masseteric vein.
