Differing opinions concerning the human maxilla and its morphogenesis lead to different concepts concerning the intrinsic arterial supply to the anterior portion of the maxilla and its incisors. Microscopic and radiographic analyses of appropriately perfused infraorbital and posterior superior alveolar arteries in more than 100 human fetuses from six months to term reveal that the posterior superior alveolar artery courses to the facial midline, supplying branches to the incisors and to the posterior teeth. This observation differs clearly from the classical description that the anterior superior alveolar artery, a branch of the infraorbital artery, supplies the anterior maxillary segment and its incisors as seen in the postnatal life.
关于人类上颌骨及其形态发生的不同观点，导致了关于上颌骨前部及其切牙的内在动脉供应的不同概念。对100多个从六个月到足月的人类胎儿的眶下动脉和上牙槽后动脉进行适当灌注后的微观和放射学分析表明，上牙槽后动脉走向面部中线，为切牙和后牙供应分支。这一观察结果与经典描述明显不同，经典描述认为眶下动脉的分支上牙槽前动脉在出生后为上颌骨前部及其切牙供血。
