  2. Maxilla - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxilla

    In vertebrates, the maxilla (pl.: maxillae / mækˈsɪliː /) [2] is the upper fixed (not fixed in Neopterygii) bone of the jaw formed from the fusion of two maxillary bones. In humans, the upper jaw includes the hard palate in the front of the mouth. [3][4] The two maxillary bones are fused at the intermaxillary suture, forming the anterior ...

  3. Dental anatomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_anatomy

    Dental anatomy is a field of anatomy dedicated to the study of human tooth structures. The development, appearance, and classification of teeth fall within its purview. (The function of teeth as they contact one another falls elsewhere, under dental occlusion.) Tooth formation begins before birth, and the teeth's eventual morphology is dictated ...

  4. Human tooth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_tooth

    The maxillary teeth are the maxillary central incisors (teeth 8 and 9 in the diagram), maxillary lateral incisors (7 and 10), maxillary canines (6 and 11), maxillary first premolars (5 and 12), maxillary second premolars (4 and 13), maxillary first molars (3 and 14), maxillary second molars (2 and 15), and maxillary third molars (1 and 16).

  5. Dentures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dentures

    The maxilla very commonly has more favorable denture-bearing anatomy, as the ridge tends to be well formed and there is a larger area on the palate for suction to retain the denture. Conversely, the mandible tends to make lower dentures much less retentive due to the displacing presence of the tongue and the higher rate of resorption ...

    59487 52897, 59487. Anatomical terms of bone. [edit on Wikidata] The alveolar process (/ ælˈviːələr, ˌælviˈoʊlər, ˈælviələr /) [1] is the portion of bone containing the tooth sockets on the jaw bones (in humans, the maxilla and the mandible). The alveolar process is covered by gums within the mouth, terminating roughly along the ...

  7. Maxillary central incisor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxillary_central_incisor

    The maxillary central incisor is a human tooth in the front upper jaw, or maxilla, and is usually the most visible of all teeth in the mouth. It is located mesial (closer to the midline of the face) to the maxillary lateral incisor. As with all incisors, their function is for shearing or cutting food during mastication (chewing).

  8. Occlusion (dentistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occlusion_(dentistry)

    Occlusion (dentistry) Occlusion, in a dental context, means simply the contact between teeth. More technically, it is the relationship between the maxillary (upper) and mandibular (lower) teeth when they approach each other, as occurs during chewing or at rest. Static occlusion refers to contact between teeth when the jaw is closed and ...

  9. Palatine process of maxilla - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palatine_process_of_maxilla

    In human anatomy of the mouth, the palatine process of maxilla (palatal process), is a thick, horizontal process of the maxilla. It forms the anterior three quarters of the hard palate, the horizontal plate of the palatine bone making up the rest. It is the most important bone in the midface. It provides structural support for the viscerocranium.
