Artery: Anterior superior alveolar arteries
Latin	arteriae alveolares superiores anteriores
Gray's	subject #144 562
Supplies	dental alveolus
Source	infraorbital artery

The anterior superior alveolar arteries originate from the infraorbital artery; they supply the upper incisors and canines; they also supply the mucous membrane of the maxillary sinus.
