The horizontal ledge
extending medially from the nasal surface of the maxilla is the |
Palaltine process
|
|
Foramina of Stenson carries
|
Nasopalatine nerves
|
|
Foramina of Scarpi carries

Descending septal artery

|
The facial plate of
maxillary alveolar process is |
Thin. But the buccal plates
of second and third molars are thick |
|
The maxillary alveolus that
is kidney shaped with the hilus part in its mesial surface is the |
First premolar. In the
second premolar, the hilus is in distal surface. The reason for the kidney shaped is due to the developmental grooves in the teeth and subsequently occupied by the alveolar bone. |
|
Medially maxilla
articulates with |
Inferior turbinate; Vomer;
Opposite maxilla |
|
In the lower border of
mandible, proximal to symphysis are two prominences called |
Mental tubercles
|
|
The triangular surface
formed by the symphysis and mental tubercles is the |
Mental protrubence
|
|
The condylar and coronoid
process is separated by the |
Sigmoid notch
|
|
The concave pit medially
below the neck of condyle is the |
Pterygoid fossa
