Development of the Maxilla Flashcards
What is the origin of the development of the maxilla?
Where the ASA nerve is given off from Infraorbital nerve.
How is the maxilla ossified?
Moves posterior from foramen to zygoma.
Moves anterior & inferior toward future incisors.
Trough formation for tooth crypts.
What is a trough?
Long hollow depression.
What is a crypt?
A slender pit or recess.
What does the zygomatic cartilage contribute to?
Zygomatic Arch
What does the secondary cartilage direct?
The growth of the maxilla.
True or False; the body of the maxilla is big.
False, the body of the maxilla is relatively small due to a lack of sinus.
What structure is considered rudimentary until well after birth?
Maxillary Sinus
What are the commonalities in Jaw development?
Development is primarily intramembranous.
Ossification related to neural elements.
Develop alveolar elements for future dentitions.
Require Secondary Cartilage to direct development.
