Facial Bones in Domestic Animals Nasal Bones FACIAL BONES IN DOMESTIC ANIMALS NASAL BONES • Horse • The posterior ends of two bones together form a notch into which the pointed anterior ends of the two frontals are received and excavated to form part of the frontal sinus. • The anterior end is pointed. • Dog • It is long and wider in front than behind. • The dorsal face is concave in its length and forms a central groove with its fellow. • The medial borders project into the nasal cavity to form the internal nasal crest. • The posterior ends resemble those of the ox. • The anterior ends form a semicircular notch • Fowl • It is small thin plate with a body and three processes-frontal, premaxillary and maxillary. • These circumscribe the anterior nares with the premaxilla and the maxilla. PREMAXILLA BONE • Horse • The bodies of the two bones are fused together. • The body of each bone is thicker and presents three alveoli for the upper incisors. • The medial surface is rough and joins the opposite bone; it presents a groove, which with a similar one of its fellow forms the foramen incisivum. • The nasal process is longer and presents at its junction with the maxillary bone an alveolus for the canine tooth. • The palatine process is wide and the palatine fissure narrow. • Dog • The body presents three alveoli for the incisors and with the maxillary bone forms an alveolus for the canine tooth. • Foramen incisivum is very small. • The palatine fissure is short but wide. PREMAXILLA BONE • Fowl • The premaxilla forms the skeleton of the upper portion of the beak and fuse to form a solid bone before hatching. • They form the anterior boundary of the external opening of the nasal cavity. • They present three pairs of processes-the palatine process which meets the palatine, the maxillary processes which extend backward and meet the maxilla and the nasal processes which extends dorsally and backward along the median line and between the nasal bones and meet the frontals. MAXILLA BONE • Horse • The facial crest is prominent. • The infra-orbital foramen is at the level of the third cheek tooth and a small canal from this extends into the pre- maxilla. • The palatine can is formed between the medial face of the body of the maxilla and the vertical part of the palatine bone. • The medial borders of the palatine processes bear nasal crests in their nasal aspect and these form a groove for the vomer. • At the junction of the maxilla and pre-maxilla is an alveolus for the canine tooth. • Dog • The facial crest is absent. • The infra-orbital foramen is as in the horse. MAXILLA BONE • DOG • Frontal process fits into a deep notch between nasal and orbital parts of frontal bone. • Maxillary and alveolar tuberosities are absent, but behind the last alveolus is a pointed pterygoid process. • There is a large alveolus for the canine tooth at the junction with premaxilla. • Fowl • There is slender rod like bones placed on the sides and partly on the floor of the nasal cavity. • The two palatine processes do not meet, but join the palatine and vomer posteriorly. • The maxilla joins the pre-maxilla and nasal anteriorly while it is continuous with malar posteriorly. PALATINE BONE • Horse • The horizontal part is narrow and is not excavated to form the palatine sinus. • Anterior palatine foramen is formed between the anterior border of the horizontal part and the palatine process of the maxilla. • The palatine canal is formed between the maxilla and the vertical part. • The perpendicular part is more extensive consists of two plates and is excavated to form the palatine part of the spheno-palatine sinus, behind the spheno palatine foramen. • The inner plate curves medially to articulate with the vomer. • The outer plate joins the maxilla frontal and the orbital wing of the sphenoid. It may join the lacrimal also. • Dog • The horizontal part is extensive and forms the posterior one third of the bony palate. • The palatine canal is sometimes formed entirely in the horizontal part. • The perpendicular part is very extensive. PALATINE BONE • DOG • Its lateral surface is free and forms most of the medial wall of the pterygo-palatine fossa. • The maxillary foramen is situated in deep recess between this bone and the zygomatic process of the malar. Just above this is another foramen opening into the nasal cavity. • The posterior palatine and spheno-palatine foramina are situated further back and a little lower. • The former is ventral to the latter. A horizontal plate extends from the nasal surface, meets its fellow and the laminae of the vomer to complete the lamina transversalis that divides the olfactory and the respiratory parts of the nasal cavity. • There is no palatine sinus. • Fowl • It is wide behind and narrow in front. It forms lateral boundary of the posterior opening of the al cavity and part of the roof of mouth. • It meets the pterygoid and the sphenoid posteriorly and the premaxilla and maxilla anteriorly. PTERYGOID BONE • Horse • Shorter and narrower. • The lateral surface articulates with the palatine, vomer and sphenoid, concurring with last in the formation of the pterygoid canal. • Dog • It is wide quadrilateral and short. • Fowl • It is rod shaped and extends between the rostrum of the sphenoid medially and quadrate bone laterally. LACRIMAL BONE • Horse • It is smaller. • The facial part is less extensive and presents a small lacrimal tubercle about an inch from the orbital margin. • Lacrimal bulla is absent. • Dog • It is very small. • Orbital face is small triangular and has lacrimal canal. • The facial part does not extend beyond the orbital margin. • Fowl • It is triangular plate of bone situated at the anterior margin of the orbit. Its medial edge meets the frontal. • The apex, pointed downward, is continued by a long curved process. MALAR BONE • Horse • The facial surface is very small. • The posterior extremity is not divided and is overlapped by the zygomatic process of the squamous temporal. • Dog • The body consists of a dorsal lacrimal process and ventral maxillary process. • The facial part is small and convex. • The zygomatic process forms the bulk of the bone. • The dorsal border of this process is free anteriorly and forms part of the orbital rim and behind it meets the zygomatic process of the temporal. • It bears an eminence-frontal process for the attachment of the orbital ligament. • Fowl • It is a slender rod of bone extending from the maxilla anteriorly and to the quadrate posteriorly. • The anterior part of the bone is called the jugal and posterior part the quadrato-jugal bone. TURBINATE BONE • Horse • The dorsal turbinate is longer and larger. • Each turbinate has an anterior coiled part and posterior curved portion. • The coiled parts of the two bones are rolled towards the septum and each other. • Dog • The turbinates are richly convoluted. However, the anterior part of the dorsal bone form a simple curved plate overhang the ventral bone. • The posterior part of the dorsal bone is not clearly separated from the lateral mass of ethmoid. The ventral bone is as in the ox; but has additional tertiary lamellae. • Fowl • They are three in number-anterior, middle and posterior. • The middle is the largest. • The posterior is the smallest. VOMER BONE • Horse • The ventral border is attached to the nasal crests of the maxillae and so the posterior nares are completely separated in the skull. • Dog • Posteriorly it is not in contact with the floor of the nasal cavity and does not divide completely the posterior nares. • Near the posterior nares the two plates of vomer curve outward and join the lamina lateralis of ethmoid and the palatine bones to form the lamina transversalis. • Fowl • It is a slender rod extending forward from the rostrum of the sphenoid and is part of the nasal septum and is attached above to the septal cartilage in its anterior part. NASAL CAVITY • Horse • The nasal cavity and the posterior nares are completely divided, as the vomer meets the nasal crests of the palatine and maxilla. • Dog • The nasal cavity conforms to the shape of the face. • The turbinates occupy the cavities to a large extent. • The posterior part of the cavity is divided by the lamina transversalis into an upper olfactory region and a lower naso pharyngeal meatus. • The posterior nares are undivided. MANDIBLE • Horse • The two halves of the mandible fuse completely. • The alveolar border of the body presents six alveoli for the lower incisors and two for the canines. • The lingual groove is absent. • The anterio-medal part of the condyle presents a depression. • The fovea pterygoidea is for the lateral pterygoid muscle. • Coronoid process is less prominent. • The rami diverge less than in ox. • Dog • The two halves do not fuse. • The alveolar border of the body presents six alveoli for the incisors and two for canines. • The horizontal part of ramus carries seven alveoli for the lower cheek teeth. • The interalveolar space is very short or even absent. • There are two or three mental foramina on either side. • The vertical part is relatively small. • The lateral face of the vertical part presents a deep masseteric fossa. MANDIBLE • DOG • The posterior border bears an angular process at the level of the mandibular foramen. • This is the equivalent of the angle of other animals. The condyle is placed very low. • The coronoid process is extensive and is bent slightly outwards and backward. • Fowl • It is a single bone and each half is made up of five pieces in the embryo. • The two halves fuse anteriorly. Posteriorly its articular part carries an articular area for the lower end of the quadrate bone. Behind this, the ventral border is carried upward and backward by a process.

  • The Development of the Human Maxilla, Vomer, and Paraseptal Cartilages
    THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE HUMAN MAXILLA, VOMER, AND PARASEPTAL CARTILAGES. By Professor FAWCETT, M.D., University of Bristol. THE usually accepted descriptions of the development of the maxilla of man state that it arises by a number of separate centres-the number varying somewhat with the authority, likewise the situation of these centres. No description of the maxilla can be considered complete unless at the same time notice is taken of the manner of development of the premaxilla, which, of course, forms the anterior segment of the adult bone as usually interpreted. But the consideration of the development of the premaxilla may be left until that of the maxilla has been fully dealt with. Before breaking new ground, it may be well to state what are the usual statements with reference to the ossification of the maxilla. These statements are apparently for the most part based on work done by Callender, Toldt, Rambaud and Renault, and Bland Sutton, so far as concerns human anatomy. More recently Franklin Mall has given his views on the subject in the American Jouarnal of Anatomy, views based on observation of specimens treated by the "clearing" method of Schulze. So far as they go, these statements are in harmony with my own notions, which I have for several years now taught. A very precise account is given in Cunningham's Text-book of Anatomy. The maxilla is there stated to be developed in the connective tissue around the oral cavity of the embryo from centres which are not preceded by cartilage, of uncertain number, as early fusion takes place between them.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the malar bone available for three-dimensional zygomatic implant placement on the possible trajectories exhibiting optimal occlusal emergence. After a preliminary analysis on 30 computed tomography (CT) scans of dentate patients to identify the ideal implant emergencies, we used 80 CT scans of edentulous patients to create two sagittal planes representing the possible trajectories of the anterior and posterior zygomatic implants. These planes were rotated clockwise on the ideal emergence points and three different hypothetical implant trajectories per zygoma were drawn for each slice.

    splanchnocranium - Consists of part of skull that is derived from branchial arches - The facial bones are the bones of the anterior and lower human skull Bones Ethmoid bone Inferior nasal concha Lacrimal bone Maxilla Nasal bone Palatine bone Vomer Zygomatic bone Mandible Ethmoid bone The ethmoid is a single bone, which makes a significant contribution to the middle third of the face. It is located between the lateral wall of the nose and the medial wall of the orbit and forms parts of the nasal septum, roof and lateral wall of the nose, and a considerable part of the medial wall of the orbital cavity. In addition, the ethmoid makes a small contribution to the floor of the anterior cranial fossa. The ethmoid bone can be divided into four parts, the perpendicular plate, the cribriform plate and two ethmoidal labyrinths. Important landmarks include: • Perpendicular plate • Cribriform plate • Crista galli. • Ala. • Ethmoid labyrinths • Medial (nasal) surface. • Orbital plate. • Superior nasal concha. • Middle nasal concha. • Anterior ethmoidal air cells. • Middle ethmoidal air cells. • Posterior ethmoidal air cells.

  • Anatomical Variations of the Greater Palatine Nerve in the Greater Palatine Canal

Galil, DDS, DO&MF Surg, PhD, FAGD, FADI, Cert. Periodontist Posted on July 21, 2015 Tags: diagnosis oral surgery Cite this as: J Can Dent Assoc 2015;81:f14 ABSTRACT The greater palatine nerve and the greater palatine canal are common sites for maxillary anesthesia during dental and maxillo­ facial procedures. The greater palatine nerve is thought to course as a single trunk through the greater palatine canal, branching after its exit from the greater palatine foramen. We describe intra­canalicular branching variations of the greater palatine nerve found in 8 of 20 embalmed dissection specimens. Such variation is previously unreported in the literature. We characterize the variations in branching pattern and discuss the possible implications for clinical practice. The greater palatine nerve (GPN), which is the continuation of the descending palatine nerve, innervates palatal tissues and the palatal gingiva posterior to the canines after passing through the greater palatine foramen. Anesthetising the GPN (i.e., GPN block) at the greater palatine foramen is common during procedures on the maxillary teeth and palate. The greater palatine canal also provides access for maxillary anesthesia in dental practice.1 Studies have suggested that the greater palatine neurovascular bundle is the most critical structure to be identified during subepithelial connective tissue palatal graft procedures.2 Multiple studies in clinical practice have demonstrated that a GPN block produces the most effective, consistent and prolonged analgesia following palatoplasty in children with cleft palate.3 Although a number of studies have shown anatomical variations in greater palatine foramen location, number and morphology,4,5 studies describing anatomical variations in the GPN within and outside the canal are sparse.

Richmanb,* aDepartment of Oral, Maxillofacial Surgery and Oral Science Research Center, Medical Science and Engineering Research Center, BK 21 Project for Medical Science, College of Dentistry Yonsei University, Seoul, Korea bDepartment of Oral Health Sciences, Faculty of Dentistry, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada, V6T 1Z3 Received for publication 7 April 2004, revised 5 August 2004, accepted 31 August 2004 Available online 5 October 2004 Abstract One conserved feature of craniofacial development is that the first pharyngeal arch has two components, the maxillary and mandibular, which then form the upper and lower jaws, respectively. However, until now, there have been no tests of whether the maxillary cells originate entirely within the first pharyngeal arch or whether they originate in a separate condensation, cranial to the first arch. We therefore constructed a fate map of the pharyngeal arches and environs with a series of dye injections into stage 13–17 chicken embryos. We found that from the earliest stage examined, the major contribution to the maxillary bud is from post-optic mesenchyme with a relatively minor contribution from the maxillo-mandibular cleft. Cells labeled within the first pharyngeal arch contributed exclusively to the mandibular prominence. Gene expression data showed that there were different molecular codes for the cranial and caudal maxillary prominence. Two of the genes examined, Rarb (retinoic acid receptor b) and Bmp4 (bone morphogenetic protein) were expressed in the post-optic mesenchyme and epithelium prior to formation of the maxillary prominence and then were restricted to the cranial half of the maxillary prominence.
