Articulations
The maxilla articulates with nine bones:
- two of the cranium: the frontal and ethmoid
- seven of the face: the nasal, zygomatic, lacrimal, inferior nasal concha, palatine, vomer, and the adjacent fused maxillary bone.
Sometimes it articulates with the orbital surface, and sometimes with the lateral pterygoid plate of the sphenoid.
