    They then enter the alveolar canals on the infratemporal surface of the maxilla, and, passing from behind forward in the substance of the bone, communicate with the middle superior alveolar nerve, and give off branches to the lining membrane of the maxillary sinus and gingival and dental branches to each molar tooth from a superior dental ...

  3. Complete dentures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complete_dentures

    Maxillary (upper) complete denture posterior extension: vibrating line (i.e. the intersection between the soft and hard palate). The landmarks for the vibrating line are the fovea palatinae (collecting ducts of minor salivary glands) that can be seen as two concavities on the mucosa. Extending the maxillary denture to the vibrating line ensures ...

    The maxillary second molar is the tooth located laterally from both the maxillary first molars of the mouth but mesially from both maxillary third molars. This is true only in permanent teeth. In deciduous teeth, the maxillary second molar is the last tooth in the mouth and does not have a third molar behind it.

    The two wax rims are then notched in order to allow an index of the relationship of the maxillary rim to the mandibular rim with a medium, such as Alluwax or Regisal. Vertical dimension of occlusion , or VDO , also known as occlusal vertical dimension (OVD), is a term used in dentistry to indicate the superior-inferior relationship of the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zygoma_Implant

    Bone grafting procedures in the jaws have the disadvantage of prolonged treatment time, restriction of denture wear, morbidity of the donor surgical site and graft rejection. [ 4 ] Zygoma implants were first introduced in late 1990s by Dr. Per Ingvar Brånemark , widely acknowledged as the "Father of Dental Implantology".

    The FDI World Dental Federation notation has a different system of numbering system from the previous two. [6] Thus, the right deciduous maxillary central incisor is known as "51", and the left one is known as "61". For the permanent maxillary central incisor, the right one is known as "11", and the left one is known as "21". [4] [page needed]

  8. Complete denture occlusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complete_denture_occlusion

    Lingualized occlusion is defined as a form of denture occlusion that articulates the maxillary lingual cusps with the mandibular occlusal surfaces in centric, working, and non-working mandibular positions. [1] The concept of lingualized occlusion was again influenced by Gysi, when he designed a crossbite posterior teeth model concept. [8]

    They also stated that post-surgical relapse with SARPE was similar to the changes in dental arch dimensions after non-surgical rapid palatal expansion, and also quite similar to dental arch changes after segmental maxillary osteotomy for expansion. Therefore, the stability of the procedure is not superior to other known expansion techniques.
