  3. Maxillary sinus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxillary_sinus

    With age, the enlarging maxillary sinus may even begin to surround the roots of the maxillary posterior teeth and extend its margins into the body of the zygomatic bone. If the maxillary posterior teeth are lost, the maxillary sinus may expand even more, thinning the bony floor of the alveolar process so that only a thin shell of bone is ...

    Sometimes (e.g. in bony fish), the maxilla is called "upper maxilla", with the mandible being the "lower maxilla". Conversely, in birds the upper jaw is often called "upper mandible".

  7. Maxillary prominence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxillary_prominence

    The maxillary prominence forms the lateral wall and floor of the orbit, and in it are ossified the zygomatic bone and the greater part of the maxilla; it meets with the medial nasal prominence, from which, however, it is separated for a time by a groove, the naso-optic furrow, that extends from the furrow encircling the eyeball to the nasal pit.

  8. Frontal process of maxilla - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontal_process_of_maxilla

    The frontal process of the maxilla is a strong plate, which projects upward, medialward, and backward from the maxilla, forming part of the lateral boundary of the nose. Its lateral surface is smooth, continuous with the anterior surface of the body, and gives attachment to the quadratus labii superioris , the orbicularis oculi , and the medial ...

    Diagram showing embrasure (red triangle) between maxillary right second bicuspid and maxillary right first molar. Right lateral view. In dentistry, embrasures are V-shaped valleys between adjacent teeth. They provide a spill way for food to escape during chewing [1] which essentially aids in the self-cleansing process.
