The alveolar ramus is a branch of the maxilla that is a continuation of the superior alveolar arch. It consists of several alveolar branches, which are divided into anterior and posterior.
The anterior alveolar branches are the smallest and most important alveolar branches that are found on the anterior surface of the maxilla. They provide nutrition and support to the front teeth of the upper jaw.
The superior anterior alveolar rami are the largest rami of the maxilla and form the main structure of the maxillary anterior teeth. They also provide support for the muscles that are involved in chewing and making sounds.
In addition, the superior anterior alveolar rami can be used for surgical procedures such as denture implantation or tooth extraction.
Thus, the superior anterior alveolar rami plays an important role in human anatomy and physiology, providing nutrition and support to the teeth, as well as being the basis for various surgical procedures.
The alveolar branches of the superior anterior (pars alveolaris superior anterior) are the branches from the superior cervical branches that go around the top of the hyoid bone from the anterior side towards the anterior superior alveoli of the jaw.
In the upper jaw, the alveaolar ramus of the upper anterior teeth has an arched shape and curls onto the inner side of the jaw arch. On the lower jaw in the area of the mandible, it immediately comes out from under the masticatory muscle forward and upward, heading towards the dental alveoli.
A congenital defect is the absence or absence of the alveolar ramus of the upper anterior teeth. Absent or anoma
