Overview

The maxilla is the paired bone forming the upper jaw, which supports the upper teeth, forms the floor of the orbit and nasal cavity, and contains the maxillary sinus. Research published in the International Journal of Human Anatomy addresses clinical and anatomical aspects of the maxilla relevant to dental and orthodontic treatment. Published studies have examined reconstruction techniques for severely atrophic pre-maxillary bone using recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 and titanium mesh to enable dental implant placement, as well as anatomical risk factors affecting immediate implant placement in the posterior maxilla using cone-beam imaging. The journal has featured investigations of maxillary sinus augmentation procedures employing various graft materials including calcium phosphosilicate putty and combinations of hydroxyapatite with beta-tricalcium phosphate via lateral window techniques. Additional research has explored orthodontic and surgical approaches to maxillary constriction in skeletal Class II malocclusion, digital planning for mini-implant supported palatal expansion in open-bite cases, and interdisciplinary management of Class III malocclusion. Case reports have documented pathological conditions such as keratocystic odontogenic tumors and outcomes of alternative implant systems in maxillary rehabilitation, reflecting the bone's central importance in dental function and facial structure.
