	Maxilla - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The maxillae are the largest bones of the face, except for the mandible, and form, by their union, the whole of the upper jaw.
		When the maxillae are articulated with each other, their alveolar processes together form the alveolar arch; the center of the anterior margin of this arch is named the alveolar point.
		The maxilla articulates with nine bones: two of the cranium, the frontal and ethmoid, and seven of the face, viz., the nasal, zygomatic, lacrimal, inferior nasal concha, palatine, vomer, and its fellow of the opposite side.

		The groove begins at the middle of the posterior border, where it is continuous with that near the upper edge of the infratemporal surface, and, passing forward, ends in a canal, which subdivides into two branches.
		Its walls are everywhere exceedingly thin, and correspond to the nasal orbital, anterior, and infratemporal surfaces of the body of the bone.
		Projecting into the floor of the antrum are several conical processes, corresponding to the roots of the first and second molar teeth; 38 in some cases the floor is perforated by the fangs of the teeth.

		In the midline of the anterior surface of the maxilla is found a prominence called the anterior nasal spine with a lateral concave rim, called the nasal notch, that forms the floor of the piriform aperture.
		The maxilla projects laterally to form the zygomatic process, which articulates with the zygoma to form the lateral portion of the inferior orbital rim.
		In front of the maxillary sinus is a vertical nasolacrimal groove that forms the nasolacrimal canal with the lacrimal bone posteriorly and terminates inferiorly under the attachment of the inferior concha.

		Sarcopterygii: By contrast, the maxilla is relatively immobile in sarcopterygians.
		In our own ancestors, the Rhipidistia, the maxilla is slight, but the jaw, maxilla and all, is considerably elongated -- presumably to a point at which it became impractical to rely on an immobile shoulder girdle for ultimate posterior support.
		In the Cryptodira, the jugal is a relatively flat bone along the ventral margin of the skull between the maxilla and the quadratojugal.

		The surgical reduction and fixation of the maxilla is indicated in the majority of cases.
		External fixation of the fractured maxilla is generally achieved by means of supra orbital pins or a halo frame connected to the maxilla with a connecting bar.
		Internal fixation of the maxilla is achieved by the application of plates to the main bone buttresses of the midface via an intraoral approach.

		Fractures of the maxilla (upper jaw) are usually the result of major trauma, but can be caused by disease of the bone itself or dental disease.
		Fractures of the maxilla are often segmental involving a short region of the upper dental arcade.
		Some fractures of the maxilla can be managed without surgery simply by resting the cat and preventing further injury to the mouth by feeding soft foods and not allowing the animal to chew on toys or other objects.

		In the maxilla, the inferior wall of the infraorbital canal may be incomplete, and hence the infraorbital nerve is in contact with the mucosa of the maxillary sinus.
		The infraorbital canal (groove) may be shifted laterally as far as the suture between the maxilla and zygomatic bones.
		In the suture between the ethmoid and maxilla, beneath the anterior ethmoidal foramen, a 3 mm hiatus may occur through which the orbital and nasal cavities communicate.

	Stegocephalidae
		The Andaniopsinae resemble the Stegocephalinae in the broad and toothed lacinia mobilis and in the laterally unproduced epistome, but the outer plate of the first maxilla (setal-teeth arranged in two parallel rows) and the outer plate of the second maxilla (setae distally without hooks) resemble the character states found in Andaniexinae.
		The genus Bathystegocephalus should, according to the cladogram, be considered as the type genus of a monotypic subfamily, and the sister taxon to the clade consisting of the three subfamilies Andaniexinae, Andaniopsinae and Stegocephalinae.
		Of these 12 synapomorphies, 6 are retained unchanged throughout the entire clade: a) mandibular incisor with a lateral orientation, b) setae on palp of the first maxilla with setules, c) maxilla 2 gaping and geniculate, d) labium distally pointed and with distal finger present, and e) telson elongate.
