| | Diseases of the Nasal Cavities and Paranasal Sinuses |
 | | The dorsal margins of the maxillary sinuses are clinically described as being delineated by an imaginary line joining the medial canthus of the eye to the nasoincisive (nasomaxillary) notch. | | | A nasal discharge, which varies from mucopurulent to purulent, is often present and is thought to be due to sinusitis secondary to obstruction of nasomaxillary drainage [ 68 ]. | | | Centesis of the lesion via a sinusotomy or by sinus puncture through the thin bone using e.g., a 16G needle is diagnostic, yielding a viscous, usually sterile, translucent yellow fluid which is odorless and may contain some leucocytes [ 41, 75,76 ]. |

| | Maxillary Growth |
| | Growth in length of the maxillary base occurs almost exclusively on the posterior aspect of the bone (Björk,1968) and corresponds to the 5 mm forward displacement of the maxillary body in relation to the anterior cranial base described by Iseri and Solow (1995). | | | The specific aims are: 1) to introduce methods and tools which will help to refine the student's ability to make clinical assessments, 2) to relate the student's understanding of growth and development to clinical evaluations and treatment strategies and 3) to discuss the pertinent literature, its contribution and limitations. | | | However, it is clear that the whole understanding of the role of each specific factor in the maxillary growth process has not been achieved yet. |

| | Kamel RH: Endoscopic transnasal surgery in chronic maxillary sinusitis. | | | The maxillary sinus should be inspected with a 30- or 70-degree scope to ensure that no further disease is present within the sinus and that the natural ostium was included in the antrostomy. | | | These pitfalls may be carefully avoided by performing a complete uncinectomy, identifying and enlarging the true maxillary sinus ostium, being gentle with medialization of the middle turbinate, and using a mucosal-sparing technique with through-cutting instrumentation to avoid excess mucosal stripping. |

| | The Jones jig was used as the first phase of orthodontic treatment for distal movement of maxillary molars to correct the Class II molar relationship. | | | Anchorage loss during the process of moving maxillary first molars distally is a critical consideration. | | | Clinically, this reduces the loss of anchorage during the recovery of the extra 1 mm of overjet increase associated with other techniques. |

| | Surgically Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion |
| | Presence of a palatal torus in a patient requiring surgical maxillary expansion can be treated two ways. | | | 018 stainless steel maxillary arch wire is in place or an immediate removable appliance is placed to prevent transverse relapse or to begin sagittal orthodontic correction. | | | While SPE has been recommended as an outpatient procedure, this practice should be limited to younger patients (since they require less extensive surgery) to ensure that adequate maxillary expansion is achieved and surgical and medical complications are minimized. |

| | Maxillary Bones |
| | During development, portions of the maxillary bones called "palatine processes" grow together and fuse along the middle to form the front section of the hard palate. | | | The maxillary bones form the upper jaw; together they are the keystone of the face, for all other immovable facial bones are connected to them. | | | Portions of these bones make up the front of the roof of the mouth (hard palate), the floors of the orbits, and the sides and floor of the nasal cavity. |
