The upper jawbone in the skull that holds the upper teeth and forms part of the orbits.

Includes the alveolar process, zygomatic process, and palatine process, crucial for dental and facial structure.

The maxilla articulates with several bones including the nasal, zygomatic, and palatine bones.

Processes of the maxilla include the alveolar, palatine, and frontal processes.

A congenital condition where there is an opening or gap in the upper lip or the palate, impacting speech and feeding.

Maxilla forms a major part of the upper facial skeleton, including the face and nasal cavity.

Maxilla articulates with several bones including nasal, frontal, and zygomatic bones.

Maxillary teeth articulate with mandible teeth via the Temporomandibular joint.

Alveolar process forms sockets for maxillary teeth and supports the dental arch.

Maxilla articulates internally with the lacrimal bone, ethmoid bone, and inferior concha.

Maxilla has four processes and surfaces that contribute to its structure.

The maxilla helps form parts of the facial skeleton and cavities, influencing appearance and function.

A condition where the upper lip has an opening or notch. It can affect one or both sides.

An opening in the roof of the mouth that can extend from the back to the front.

Cleft lip and palate occur in about 1 in 700 births in the UK.

Modern surgery effectively repairs cleft lip and palate with good results.

Associated issues include feeding, hearing, dental, and speech problems.

A bony projection on the lateral aspect of the maxilla that contributes to the zygomatic arch.

A bar of bone extending upwards from the maxilla to connect with the frontal bone, nasal bone, and lacrimal bone.

A horizontal shelf of bone projecting from the maxilla towards the midline, forming part of the roof of the mouth.

An opening located below the eye socket in the maxilla, allowing nerves and blood vessels to pass.

A projection at the front of the maxilla where nasal bones meet.

A bony ridge on the maxilla where the canine tooth roots are located.

The structure formed by the palatine processes of the maxilla.

A large air-filled space located within the maxilla that is connected to the nasal cavity.

The surface of the maxilla forming the floor of the orbit.

A bony structure formed by the zygomatic process of the maxilla and the zygomatic bone.

Formed partly by the medial surface of the maxilla.

The posterior surface of the maxilla that forms part of the infratemporal region.

The larger bone of the upper jaw that includes the alveolar process and features such as the zygomatic process.
