Maxillary Region
The maxillary region refers to the area of the upper jaw, known as the maxilla. This region plays a crucial role in the structure of the face, supporting the upper teeth and forming part of the eye sockets and nasal cavity. It is involved in functions such as chewing and speaking.
In addition to its anatomical significance, the maxillary region is important in dental health. Issues like cavities or gum disease can affect the maxillary teeth, leading to pain and other complications. Treatments often involve dentists specializing in oral health to maintain the integrity of this area.
