Arterial Supply

Arterial supply to the teeth is derived from the maxillary artery, a branch of the external carotid artery, via the: 1. superior alveolar arteries 1.1

Venous Drainage

Venous drainage of the teeth is into either the: 1. pterygoid venous plexus, or​ 2. facial vein via vessels that generally follow the arteries

Innervation

1. the maxillary teeth are supplied by a group of superior alveolar branches … 2

Variant Anatomy

1. hyperdontia: supernumerary teeth 2

Radiographic Appearance

The teeth are well visualized on these modalities 1-3: 1. enamel: most radiopaque part, hardest tissue in the human body 2
