alveolar canal

The alveolar canals are apertures in the center of the infratemporal surface of the maxilla.

The alveolar canals transmit the posterior superior alveolar vessels and nerves.

It is pierced about its center by the apertures of the alveolar canals, which transmit the posterior superior alveolar vessels and nerves.

On the posterior wall are the alveolar canals, transmitting the posterior superior alveolar vessels and nerves to the molar teeth.

The foramen ovale and foramen spinosum open on its roof, and the alveolar canals on its anterior wall.

As most cysts expand slowly, there will be no altered sensation (anesthesia or paraesthesia), since the inferior alveolar canal is harmlessly enveloped or displaced over time.

(b) anterior superior alveolar arteries - branches which descend through the anterior alveolar canals to supply the upper incisor and canine teeth and the mucous membrane of the maxillary sinus.

The infraorbital canal usually projects into the cavity as a well-marked ridge extending from the roof to the anterior wall; additional ridges are sometimes seen in the posterior wall of the cavity and are caused by the alveolar canals.

Descending upon the tuberosity of the maxilla, it divides into numerous branches, some of which enter the alveolar canals, to supply the molar and premolar teeth and the lining of the maxillary sinus, while others are continued forward on the alveolar process to supply the gingiva.
