Branches To The Gums Superior Infraorbital Artery (Rami Gingivales Superiores, Bna)

The superior branches to the gums of the infraorbital artery (rami gingivales superiores, bna) arise from the infraorbital artery and supply blood to the gums of the upper jaw. These small arteries pass through the thickness of the alveolar process of the upper jaw and give off branches to the gingival margin, anastomosing with the arteries of the same name on the opposite side.

The branches to the gums of the superior infraorbital artery play an important role in the blood supply to the gum tissue of the upper jaw. Damage to these vessels can lead to the development of inflammatory diseases of the gums and periodontal tissues.
