Preferred Label : anterior superior alveolar nerve;
Uberon definition : The anterior superior alveolar branch (anterior superior dental branch), of considerable
size, is given off from the maxillary nerve just before its exit from the infraorbital
foramen; it descends in a canal in the anterior wall of the maxillary sinus, and divides
into branches which supply the incisor and canine teeth. It communicates with the
middle superior alveolar branch, and gives off a nasal branch, which passes through
a minute canal in the lateral wall of the inferior meatus, and supplies the mucous
membrane of the anterior part of the inferior meatus and the floor of the nasal cavity,
communicating with the nasal branches from the sphenopalatine ganglion.;
