“…In general, investigations were made on parts of the maxillary artery (Navarro et al;Morton & Khan;Vrionis et al, 1996;Sashi et al, 1996;Choi & Park), but some studies examined neighboring relations (Pretterklieber et al; Sashi et al; Hussain et al). This study, is aimed to determine anatomic structure, neighboring relations and distances to pre-defined reference points of maxillary artery and its branches and to emphasize clinical significance from different perspectives.…”

“…Although course and parts of the maxillary artery are defined in classical anatomy books, significant clinical information related with the main artery and its branches are included in several investigation reports (Navarro et al, 1982;Morton & Khan, 1991;Vrionis et al, 1996;Sashi et al, 1996;Choi & Park, 2003;Schwartzbauer et al, 2003;Isolan et al, 2007;Hussain et al, 2008;Abuzayed et al, 2009;Chiu, 2009;Kwak et al, 2010). As the most important contribution to the blood supply of the nose is made by maxillary artery from the external carotid system, it is reported that ligation of the maxillary artery and its branches via different procedures is the most efficient method for controlling the epistaxis (Stepnick et al, 1990;Abelson, 1991;Maceri, 1993;Abuzayed et al, 2009;Kwak et al, 2010).…”

SUMMARY:The aim of this study was to investigate the anatomy of the maxillary artery (MA) and its branches. Fourteen sides of Turkish adult cadavers were dissected. The specimens were classified according to the relation between MA and the lateral pterygoid. After the removal of the lateral pterygoid, parts and branches of MA were exposed. We classified the branching patterns of MA in the pterygopalatine fossa. The calibers and lengths of the arteries, and the distance between the zygomatic arch and MA, and between the infratemporal crest and MA were measured. The MA was found superficial to the lateral pterygoid in 57.2%. The inferior alveolar artery (IA) was arisen from MA before the middle meningeal artery (MM) in 35.7%, after MM in 35.7%. The IA and MM were arisen from the same area of MA in 14.3 %. In other two cases IA was arisen from the beginning of MA (14.3%). According to the contours of third portion of MA, we classified "Y" type (50%), "intermediate-T" type (14.3%), and "M" type (35.7%). This reinvestigation of the clinical anatomy of MA may provide useful information to the head and neck surgeons, dentists, neurosurgeons and radiologists related with this region.

“…The placement of implant in maxillary tuberosity was suggested, but it can damage the maxillary artery. As such, maxillary sinus bone graft was suggested as an alternative method 5,6 . Implantation combined with maxillary sinus bone graft has been used widely as a predictable method with high survival rate, and it is useful in overcoming the limit of restoration of the maxillary posterior area with insufficient residual alveolar bone [7][8][9][10] .…”

(J Korean Assoc Oral Maxillofac Surg 2012;38:71-7) Objectives: This study sought to investigate the positioning of the posterior superior alveolar artery in relation to the performance of the maxillary sinus bone graft procedure in a Korean population. Materials and Methods: We identified the position of the posterior superior alveolar artery relative to 93 maxillary sinuses in 58 patients and determined the distance from the inferior border of the artery in the premolar and molar areas to the alveolar ridge and sinus floor. Results: The mean distance from the alveolar ridge to the posterior superior alveolar artery in the dentate group (20.62±3.05 mm in the premolar region, 17.50±2.84 mm in the molar region) was greater than as compared to the edentulous group (18.83±2.79 mm in the premolar region, 15.50±1.64 mm in the molar region), and this difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). In contrast, there was no statistically significant difference (P >0.05) between the mean distance from the sinus floor to the posterior superior alveolar artery in the dentate group (8.21±2.79 mm in the premolar region, 7.52±2.07 mm in the molar region) or in the edentulous group (7.75±3.31 mm in the premolar region, 7.97±2.31 mm in the molar region). Conclusion: Prior to surgery, it is important to evaluate the position of the posterior superior maxillary artery by using computed tomography scans. The premolar area is safer than the molar area for performing the maxillary sinus bone graft without bleeding.

Современное состояние, быстрое развитие стомато-логии и пластической челюстно-лицевой хирургии требу-ют детальных знаний о кровоснабжении лица, в том числе -верхней и нижней челюстей (ВЧ, НЧ). В литературе за последние 40 лет мы не нашли работ, посвященных изуче-нию кровоснабжения ВЧ и НЧ. Между тем эти знания не-обходимы при различных хирургических вмешательствах на челюстях, переломах, ранениях, для трактовки путей распространения гнойно-воспалительных процессов на лице.ВЧ кровоснабжается большим количеством крупных артерий, которые широко анастомозируют между собой [2,4]. Что касается источников кровоснабжения НЧ, то тут мнения специалистов расходятся. Одни авторы [5] глав-ным и единственным источником кровоснабжения НЧ считают нижнюю альвеолярную артерию. По мнению же других [1][2][3], помимо нижней альвеолярной артерии, в кровоснабжении НЧ участвуют дополнительные артерии.НЧ кровоснабжается из целого ряда дополнительных внекостных (экстраоссальных) артерий: височной, арте-рий крыловидных мышц, жевательной, лицевой, язычной и челюстно-подъязычной. Основными артериями, кро-воснабжающими НЧ, считаются 6 внутрикостных (интра-оссальных) артерий: верхнечелюстная, нижняя альвео-лярная, язычная, поперечная артерия лица, жевательная и лицевая. Topographic anatomical studies provide data on the characteristics of blood supply to maxilla and mandible. It is established that maxilla is supplied by the large number of major arteries which are commonly anastomosed to each other. Mandible intraosseous blood supply is by one major lower alveolar artery and a large number of small extraosseous arteries that supply blood to the bone, masticatory and facial muscles.
