On the maxilla, the alveolar process is a ridge on the inferior surface, making up the thickest part of the bone. On the mandible it is a ridge on the superior surface. The structures hold the teeth and are encased by gums as part of the oral cavity . [ 12 ]

2023年10月30日 · It contributes to the anterior margin and floor of the bony orbit, the anterior wall of the nasal cavity and the inferior part of the infratemporal fossa. It contains the maxillary sinuses which extend from the orbital ridge to the alveolar process and drain to …

2023年12月12日 · The process has a curved free margin called the alveolar arch, housing the dental alveoli (dental sockets), alveolar yokes, and the interalveolar and Interradicular septa. Channels in the alveolar process allow passage to the alveolar arteries, alveolar nerves, and the periodontal ligaments that innervate, irrigate, and keep the upper teeth in ...

2022年9月12日 · The maxilla connects with surrounding facial structures through 4 processes: alveolar, frontal, zygomatic, and palatine. It articulates superiorly with the frontal bone, the zygomatic bone laterally, the palatine bone posteriorly, and the upper teeth inferiorly through the alveolar process.

2022年4月12日 · The anterior surface of the body features a curved margin of the bony anterior nasal aperture, called the nasal notch. This surface also partly forms the lower margin of the eye socket, named as infra-orbital margin, along with the zygomatic bone.

2024年5月11日 · The body of the maxilla is roughly pyramidal and has four surfaces that surround the maxillary sinus, the largest paranasal sinus: anterior, infratemporal (posterior), orbital and nasal. It also has four processes: zygomatic, frontal, alveolar, and palatine.

On the maxilla, the alveolar process is a ridge on the inferior surface. It makes up the thickest part of the maxilla. The alveolar process contains a region of compact bone adjacent to the periodontal ligament called lamina dura.

When the root is flat, the contour of the alveolar bone margin is also flat or straight. More curved is the root surface; more scalloped is the marginal bone. A thin bone covering the tooth roots is more scalloped as compared to thick bone which is more flattened.

2018年8月8日 · Occasionally at the alveolar margin, the interradicular septa are entirely perforated. The alveolar process of the maxilla creates a protrusion of cancellous bone referred to as the retromolar tubercle or retromolar triangle of the maxilla at the alveolus of the third molar (wisdom tooth).

The alveolar process (alveolar part) is the thick, curved, inferior projection found along the inferior aspect of the maxilla. The alveolar process of maxilla: —is continuous superiorly with the body of maxilla; —is continuous both posteriorly and medially with the palatine process of maxilla;
