Skull bone that forms much of the roof of the oral cavity. The maxilla has a large body and four projections: the frontal process, the zygomatic process, the palatine process, and alveolar process. Therefore, this structure plays a significant role in the floor of the nasal cavity, the roof of the mouth, and holds the upper teeth; sometimes (erroneously) called the “upper jaw;” see jaw.[1]
