5. MAXILLA
Two maxillae articulate to form
Whole upper jaw.
Roof of oral cavity.
Greater part of buccal roof, floor and lateral wall of nasal
cavity and part of nasal bridge.
Greater part of floor of the orbit.
Infratemporal and ptergyopalatine fossae
Inferior orbital and pterygomaxillary fissures
6. Parts of Maxilla
Body : large and pyramidal in shape.
Four processes
FRONTAL
ZYGOMATIC
ALVEOLAR
PALATINE
9. Frontal process:
The frontal process forms a portion of the lateral wall of the
nose. Also called nasal process
Zygomatic process:
The zygomatic process of the maxilla joins with the
zygomatic bone (zygoma)
10. Alveolar process:
The alveolar processes of both maxillae unite to form
the maxillary arch.
Palatine process:
The palatine processes of the maxillae join in the midline
to form the anterior two-thirds of the hard palate. Called the
median palatine suture
11. MAXILLA HOUSES THE LARGEST SINUS
OF THE FACE THE MAXILLARY SINUS
13. Palatine Bone
The paired, "L"- shaped palatine bones are located between the
maxillae and the sphenoid bone. A palatine bone forms parts
of the floor and outer wall of the nasal cavity, the floor of eye
socket, and the hard palate.
14. Lacrimal bone
Smallest of all bones, is the most fragile of all bones
It articulates with
Maxilla
Frontal bone
Ethmoid bone
Nasal concha
16. Nasal Septum
The nasal septum is made up of the following:
Perpendicular plate of ethmoid
Vomer
Maxilla
Septal cartilage
Muscles attached to Nasal bones –
Procerus and nasalis.
17. Ethmoid Bone
Wholly endochondral in ossifications, ethmoid bone, forms the
median floor of the anterior cranial fossa and part of the roof,
lateral wall, and median septum of the nasal cavity, ossifies
from three centers.
A single median center,
Lateral centers, and
A secondary ossification center.
18. Sphenoid Bone
Three parts
Body
Lesser wing
Greater wing with the pterygoid processes
The multicomposite sphenoid bone has up to 19
intramembranous and endochondral ossification centers.
19. External nose
Covered by the skin, and lined by mucous membrane
The bony frame-work occupies the upper part of the organ; it
consists of the nasal bones and the frontal processes of the
maxilla.
20. The cartilaginous frame-work (cartilagines nasi) consists of
five large pieces
Cartilage of the septum,
Two lateral and the two greater alar cartilages, and
several smaller pieces, lesser alar cartilages
The cartilage of the septum (cartilago septi nasi) is
quadrilateral termed the septum mobile nasi.
21. Para nasal Sinuses
They begin to develop at the end of 3rd month post
conception.
Primary Pneumatisation :The early paranasal sinuses expand
into the cartilage walls and roof of the nasal fossae by growth
of mucous membrane sacs, this is Primary Pneumatisation.
Secondary Pneumatization :The sinuses enlarge into bone
retaining communication with the nasal fossae through Ostia,
this is called Secondary Pneumatization.
22. Maxillary sinus
Pyramidal in shape. The maxillary sinus enlarges slightly
faster than overall maxilla, by bone resorption of the maxillary
internal walls
23. Frontal sinus
Present behind the superciliary arches
Average measurements are :
Height, 3 cm, Breadth, 2.5 cm
Depth , 2.5 cm
Opens into middle meatus of the nose through the Frontonasal
duct
Absent at birth
Reach their full size after puberty
24. Ethmoidal sinus
The ethmoidal air cells expands into the frontal, maxilla,
lacrimal, sphenoidal, and palatine bones
Three groups, anterior, middle, and posterior
25. Sphenoidal sinus
Communicates with the sphenoethmoidal recess
Minute cavities at birth, start developing at 4th month i.u.
Continues to grow in early adulthood.
Average measurements→2 cm
26. Nasal Cavity
The nasal chambers are situated one on either side of the
median plane. They open in front through the nares, and
communicate behind through the conchae with the nasal part
of the pharynx
27. Blood vessels, Nerves & Lymphatics
External carotid artery
V & VII cranial nerve
Submandibular lymph nodes
29. Introduction
Development of the head depends upon inductive activities of
2 organizing centers
Prosencephalic center
Rhombencephalic center
30. Prosencephalic organizing center :
Derived from mesoderm that migrates from the primitive
streak.
Situated at the dorsal end of the notochord below the fore
brain.
Induces the formation of:
Visual apparatus
Inner ear apparatus
Upper third of face
31. Rhombencephalic organizing center
Caudal in relation to the Prosencephalic centre.
Induces the formation of:
Middle and lower third of the face.
Middle and external ears.
32. Oral development in embryo is demarcated extremely early in
life by the appearance of the prechordal plate (14th day).
The endodermal thickening of the prechordal plate designate
the cranial pole of the oval embroyonic disk.
Later it contributes to the oropharyngeal membrane
33. The face is derived from five prominences that surround a
central depression,
The Stomodeum (Future mouth)
STOMODEUM
FRONTONASAL
MAXILLARY
MAXILLARY
MANDIBULAR MANDIBULAR
34. Face
Upper 1/3rd is formed by the Frontonasal process
Middle1/3rd is formed by the Maxillary process
Lower1/3rd is formed by the Mandibular process
35. Development of facial bones
The facial bones develop intramembranously from ossification
centers in the neural crest cells.

49. Fusion ofpalate
For the fusion of the palatal shelves to occur it is necessary to
eliminate their epithelial covering.
Fusion of the 3 palatal components initially produces a flat,
unarched roof of the mouth.
The line of fusion of the lateral palatal
shelves is traced by the midpalatal suture
The site of junction of the 3 palatal
components is marked by the incisive
papilla overlying the incisive canal.
51. Ossification ofthe palate

56. Anomalies of Palatal development
Epithelial pearl
Entrapment of epithelial rests or pearl in the line of
fusion of the palatal shelves, gives rise to medial palatal rest
cysts.
57. Torous palatinus
A Genetic anomaly of the palate .A localized mid palatal
overgrowth of bone, if prominent may interfere with seating of
removable orthodontic appliances.
59. Cleft palate results from a lack of fusion of the palatine shelves
which may be due to:
smallness of the shelves,
failure of the shelves to elevate,
inhibition of fusion process itself, or
Failure of tongue to drop from between the shelves because of
micrognathia.
61. The maxilla develops postnatally entirely by
intramembranous ossification. Since there is no cartilage
replacement, growth occurs in two ways:
1) By apposition of bone at the sutures that connect the maxilla
to the cranium and cranial base, and
2) By surface remodeling.
62. Until the age of 6, displacement from cranial base is an
important part of the maxilla’s forward growth.
At about the age of 7, cranial base growth stops, and sutural
growth is the only mechanism for bringing the maxilla
forward.
Primary displacement Secondary displacement
63. Sutures attaching the maxilla :
frontomaxillary suture,
zygomaticomaxillary suture,
zygomaticotemporal suture,
pterygo palatine suture,
these all sutures are relatively oblique and parallel to each
other.
Thus growth in these areas serves to move maxilla in forward
and downward direction.
64. As this happens, the space that would open up at the suture is
filled in by proliferation of bone at these locations.
The suture remains the same width, and the various processes
of the maxilla become longer.
Bone apposition occurs on both sides of a suture, so the bone
to which the maxilla is attached also becomes larger.
As the maxilla grows downward and forward, its front
surface are remodeled and bone is removed from most of the
anterior surface.
65. The overall growth changes are the result of a downward and
forward translation of the maxilla and a simultaneous
remodeling. The whole bony nasomaxillary complex is
moving downward and forward relative to the cranium, being
translated in space.
66. Enlow shows this in a cartoon form;
The maxilla is like the platform on wheels, being rolled
forward, while at the same time its surface, represented by the
wall in the cartoon, is being reduced on its anterior side and
built up posteriorly,moving in space opposite to the direction
of the overall growth.
68. Vertical growth
Bjork and Skieller implant studies
- height increases because of sutural growth toward the
frontal and zygomatic bones
- appositional growth in the alveolar bone, floor of orbit,
on hard palate and resorption on nasal floor

73. LENGTH
• Resorption in the anterior region of the maxilla
• Maxilla rotates in relation to the anterior cranial base
• Bjork and Skieller implant studies have shown that anterior
surface is stable sagittally
74. Timing
Growth in width is completed first, then in length, and finally
growth in height.
Growth in width →before the adolescent growth spurt.
Growth in length →through the period of puberty
growth in vertical height of the face →continues longer
75. The Nasomaxillary Complex
Remodeling
• The Maxillary tuberosity
• Key ridge
• Vertical drift of teeth
• Nasal airway
• Palatal remodeling
• Downward maxillary displacement
• Maxillary sutures
• The Cheekbone and Zygomatic Arch
• The paranasal sinuses
• Orbital Growth
76. Maxillary tuberosity
Established by the posterior boundary of anterior cranial fossa
Helps in posterior and horizontal lengthening of arch
Anterior displacement= posterior lengthening
lateral widening
downward deposition
Contributes to
maxillary sinus enlargement
77. Key ridge
Vertical crest below the malar protuberence
Reversal occurs at the key ridge
Posterior – apposition
Anterior - resorption
78. Vertical drift of teeth
As a tooth drifts, alveolar remodeling takes place
The periodontal connective tissue also moves together with the
drifting teeth .
It is this important periodontal membrane that-
Provides intra membranous bone remodeling that changes the
location of alveolar socket.
Move the tooth itself.
79. Nasal airway
Lining surface of bony
wall and floor
Resorptive
(except olfactory
fossae)
Downward relocation of
palate
Lateral and anterior
expansion
Downward cortical remodelling of entire anterior
cranial floor & lateral and inferior depositions on
ethmoidal conchae
80. Nasal airway
Ethmoidal conchae
- lateral + inferior - deposition
- medial + superior -resorption
Inter nasal septum
{vomer and the perpendicular plate
of ethmoid}
- lengthens vertically at sutural
junctions
81. ‘V’ principle of Enlow in the remodeling
of the palate.
The palate grows in an inferior direction by subperiosteal bone
deposition on its entire oral surface and corresponding
resorptive removal on the opposite side.
The entire ‘v’ shaped structure thereby moves in a direction
towards the wide end of the ‘v’ and increase in the overall size
at the same time.
82. Downward maxillary
displacement
• Primary displacement of the ethmomaxillary complex
inferiorly
• New bone is added at all sutures and these sutures accompany
displacement produced by the soft tissues
83. Downward maxillary
displacement
• The balance of > or < growth in posterior and anterior maxilla
is due to clockwise/counter clockwise rotatory displacement
caused by downward and forward growth of the middle cranial
fossa
• Nasomaxillary complex undergoes compensatory remodelling
rotation to sustain its position relative to the vertical reference
line and to the neutral orbital axis
84. Maxillary sutures
• Sutures slide or slippage of bones along the interface
• Remodelling and relinkage of the collagenous fiber
connections within the sutural connective tissue causes
the displacement process
85. Cheek and zygomatic bone
• Posterior side of malar protuberances within the temporal
fossa is depository
• Cheek bone relocates posteriorly as it enlarges
• Posterior relocation slows after dental arch length is achieved
during childhood
• Zygomatic arch moves laterally by resorption on the medial
side
• Zygoma and cheekbone complex are displaced anteriorly and
inferiorly in the same directions as the maxilla
86. Maxillary sinus
Age changes
Expands - 2mm vertically
3mm A-P - every year
> in size - resorption in walls + alveolus
87. POST NATAL
All internal surfaces -resorption
[expect medial]
Rapid continuous downward growth
close proximity to buccal maxillary
teeth
88. Orbital growth
Most of the lining roof and floor are depository
Lateral wall remodels by deposition and medial by resorption
i)Forward remodelling of the nasal and superior orbital rim,
ii) backward remodelling of the inferior orbital rim and the
malar area
iii) downward remodelling of the premaxillary region
combine to produce rotation and alignment of the midface and
upper facial regions
89. Treacher Collins Syndrome
{Mandibulofacial dysotosis}
In Treacher Collins Syndrome, both the maxilla and mandible
are underdeveloped as a result of a generalized lack of
mesenchymal tissue.
90. Hemifacial microsomia
Hemifacial microsomia is primarily a unilateral and always an
asymmetric problem. It is characterized by a lack of tissue on
the affected side of the face. It arises from early loss of neural
crest cells.
91. Crozon’s syndrome
It is characterized by underdevelopment of the midface and
eyes that seem to bulge from their sockets.
92. APERT SYNDROME
(Acrocephalosyndactyly
Characteristic features;
Flat facies,
Supraorbital horizontal
groove,
Shallow orbits,
Hypertelorism,
Strabismus,
Maxillary hypoplasia
The maxillary dental arch may be V-shaped with severely
crowded teeth and bulged alveolar ridges.
93. ACHONDROPLASIA
Achondroplasia is a rare condition. In addition to short limbs,
the cranial base does not lengthen normally because of the
deficient growth at the synchodroses, the maxilla is not
translated forward to the normal extent, and a relative midface
deficiency occurs.
