    This document discusses the anatomy and physiology of the maxillofacial region in three sections - the upper, middle, and lower thirds. The upper third contains the frontal bones and relates structures. The middle third contains the zygoma, orbits, maxilla, and nose. The maxilla contains important structures like the V2 nerve and supports the teeth. The lower third section discusses the mandible, which supports teeth and facilitates occlusion through its horseshoe shape and temporomandibular joint. Angel's classification of occlusion is also described.

    Anatomy/Physiology
    Upper 1/3
    Frontal bones- relates to FS, brain,
    orbits, cribiform,
    supratrochlear/supraorbital n
    Middle 1/3
    Zygoma- facial projection, masseter
    insertion, inferolateral orbital rims/walls
    Orbits- 7 bones (frontal, zygomatic,
    max, lacrimal, ethmoid, sphenoid,
    palatine).
    maxilla- V2, infraorbital rims/floors,
    NLD, teeth, MCL
    nose- breathing/olfaction, cosmesis
    Most freq fx bone in human body

    Anatomy/Physiology
    Lower 1/3
    Mandible
    Dentition/occlusion
    Horseshoe shape + TMJ absorbs force from
    transmitting to MCF
    32 teeth, 8/quadrant
    Angel Classification of occlusion
    Class I mesiobuccal cusp of max 1st molar sits in
    buccal groove of the mandib 1st molar.
    Class II max molar more anterior/chin retrudedoverbite
    Class III max molar more posterior/chin prognathicunderbite
