Alveolar Branches Maxillary Posterior

The alveolar branch of the maxillary posterior is one of the many types of anatomical formations in the human body. It belongs to the group of blood vessels and provides blood supply to the bone tissue that forms the alveoli (voids) in the upper jaw.

The alveolar branch of the maxillary posterior has several functions. Firstly, it provides stability and strength to the alveoli, as it maintains their structure and prevents destruction. Secondly, it serves to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the bone tissue of the alveoli. Finally, it plays an important role in the immune system, providing protection against infections and other diseases.

Thus, the alveolar branch of the maxillary posterior is an important element in the human body and plays a key role in maintaining the health and functioning of the upper jaw.

In the oral cavity of the upper jaw there are three pairs of air-bearing bones, which are called teeth. Each pair is separated by special recesses - alveoli. The teeth are located in the alveoli and participate in the formation of the dental-gingival contours of the alveoli and the area of ​​the vestibule of the mouth. All teeth, with the exception of the dental units of the third molars, are connected to the root using a ligamentous apparatus attached to their apices. The upper and lower third molars are separated from each other by the maxillary and palatal grooves.

Teeth are hollow bony structures. They are covered by enamel, which in turn is protected by an outer enamel-dentin membrane. The crowns of the teeth are distributed into three sections - anterior, posterior and lingual. The posterior part of the tooth crown is tightly adjacent to the dentin, the upper border of which passes into the tubercle. The height of the tubercle will depend on the anatomical structure of the alveoli. The highest crown will be located on the front of the alveulus. Next comes the intertubercular space. The location of the tooth on the back of the alveolar socket, namely its edge, is called the base of the cutting edge.

On the outer surface of the tooth there are three functional surfaces that are comb-shaped, covered with enamel and have relief and a chewing inclination. The first and second molars are characterized by the existence of a supra and submental surface. Sagittally, there is a gap (glinigz) between the two rows of teeth. The presence of a crown can be seen using the tongue, which will experience pressure on the crown
