The premaxilla (or praemaxilla) is one of a pair of small cranial bones at the very tip of the upper jaw of many animals, usually, but not always, bearing teeth. In humans, they are fused with …

The premaxilla exists in an independent way within the maxillary complex and the presence of the premaxilla-maxillary suture justifies the success of anteroposterior expansions to stimulate the …

The small part in front of this suture constitutes the premaxilla (os incisivum), which in most vertebrates forms an independent bone; it includes the whole thickness of the alveolus, the …

Premaxilla is also known as incisive bone, intermaxillary bone and premaxillary bone, or even Goethe’s bone. Its discovery in humans can be romantically attributed to Goethe 18 (1784) for …

However, the premaxilla, even considered as a functional unit of the skull and without regard for phylogeny, is a much more complicated object. As fully developed in advanced tetrapods, it …

Herein, we describe techniques that aim to augment, or reconstruct, the premaxillary region in the context of nasal deformity, osseous resorption, or composite maxillofacial defects. Keywords: …

The premaxilla exists in an independent way within the maxillary complex and the presence of the premaxilla-maxillary suture justifies the success of anteroposterior expansions to stimulate the …

The jaws of humans--and dogs, salmon, lizards and all other bony vertebrates--contain three key bones: the maxilla and premaxilla of the upper jaw, and the dentary of the lower jaw.

Definition: Premaxilla is the embryologic unit of bone lying anterior to the incisive foramen of hard palate. It contains all four upper incisors as well as the nasal...

Formation of the premaxilla acts as a stabilization element inside the facial skeleton comparable to the cornerstone of a Roman arch and is closely related to the development of human face …
