állkapocsban

állkapocsban is the locative form of the Hungarian noun állkapocs, meaning “in the jaw.” It is used to indicate that something is located inside the jaw or within the jaw region, and it appears mainly in anatomical, medical, or dental contexts. The suffix -ban (or -ben after certain vowel sounds) attaches to the noun to express location in the inessive/locative sense.

Anatomical context often refers to structures contained within the jawbone, including the mandible (lower jaw) and the maxilla (upper jaw). In the mandible, for example, the mandibular canal runs within the jawbone and houses the inferior alveolar nerve and vessels; such contents are described as being “aállkapocsban.” The phrase can thus designate locations of nerves, vessels, bone marrow, or other tissues inside the jaw.

In medical language, the term is used when describing procedures, symptoms, or findings related to the interior of the jaw. For instance, a sentence might read that pain appears “aállkapocsban,” or that an implant is placed “az állkapocsban.” It is distinct from expressions referring to surfaces or external areas of the jaw, such as állkapcson (on/at the jaw).

Summary: állkapocsban denotes positional relation to the interior of the jaw and is a common construction in Hungarian anatomical and dental terminology.
