  2. Incisive foramen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incisive_foramen

    The incisive foramen is a funnel-shaped opening in the bone of the oral hard palate representing the inferior termination of the incisive canal. [citation needed] An oral prominence - the incisive papilla - overlies the incisive fossa. [1] The incisive foramen is situated immediately behind the incisor teeth, and in between the two premaxillae.

  3. Premaxilla - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premaxilla

    The incisive foramen is bound anteriorly and laterally by the premaxilla and posteriorly by the palatine process of the maxilla. [1] It is formed from the fusion of a pair of small cranial bones at the very tip of the jaws of many animals, usually bearing teeth, but not always. They are connected to the maxilla and the nasals.

  4. Incisive canals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incisive_canals

    The two incisive canals usually (in 60% of individuals) have a characteristic Y-shaped or V-shaped morphology: above, each incisive canal opens into the nasal cavity on either side of the nasal septum as the nasal foramina; below, the two incisive canals converge medially to open into the oral cavity at midline at the incisive fossa [1] as several incisive foramina.

  5. Palatine process of maxilla - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palatine_process_of_maxilla

    When the two maxillae are articulated, a funnel-shaped opening, the incisive foramen, is seen in the middle line, immediately behind the incisor teeth. In this opening the orifices of two lateral canals are visible; they are named the incisive canals or foramina of Stenson ; through each of them passes the terminal branch of the descending ...

  6. Mandibular incisive canal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandibular_incisive_canal

    The incisive nerve either terminates as nerve endings within the anterior teeth or adjacent bone, or may join nerve endings that enter through the tiny lingual foramen. [citation needed] The incisive canal is typically found within the middle third of the mandible in an apico-coronal dimension, reaching the midline 18% of the time. [3]

  7. Mandibular canal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandibular_canal

    On arriving at the incisor teeth, it turns back to communicate with the mental foramen, giving off a small canal known as the mandibular incisive canal, which run to the cavities containing the incisor teeth. [1] It carries branches of the inferior alveolar nerve and artery.

  8. Inferior alveolar nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inferior_alveolar_nerve

    The incisive branch represents the anterior continuation of the inferior alveolar nerve. [citation needed] It continues to course within the mandible in the mandibular incisive canal either as a single nerve or by forming the incisive plexus.

  9. Incisor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incisor

    Children with a full set of deciduous teeth (primary teeth) also have eight incisors, named the same way as in permanent teeth. Young children may have from zero to eight incisors depending on the stage of their tooth eruption and tooth development. Typically, the mandibular central incisors erupt first, followed by the maxillary central ...
