Proposed merge with Ossification of maxilla
I have proposed this merge, between the 'ossification' page and this article, because:
 * There is no need for the information on ossification to be hidden away on a separate article. This means the information is not presented as it could be, and it is needlessly fragmented.
 * It is standard on Anatomy pages, and recommended in WP:MEDMOS, for 'Development' sections to be displayed on the same page.
 * Additionally, this page is small and it would give more context to have the information displayed in a central location, rather than hidden on a separate article.
 * If necessary, the article on ossification could be expanded at a later date.
 * As can be seen, by having two separate articles content is already duplicated and/or displayed on one or either article, rather than displayed in a central place on just one article LT910001 (talk) 07:17, 29 December 2013 (UTC)


 * I have completed this merge. --LT910001 (talk) 03:33, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

Proposed merge with Body of maxilla
Readily merged into parent article, prevents needless fragmentation and centralises information for readers Tom (LT) (talk) 17:02, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

I support this merge. ″Body of maxilla″ might be the more traditional textbook medical term, but most medical professionals and academics seem to use the single word ″maxilla″ to refer to this bone. This term still allows for the use of ″maxillary sinus″ to distinguish the cavities from the bone. Ashleyisachild (talk) 23:27, 29 January 2017 (UTC)

Images
This C-class article has nineteen images with thirteen listed under the "Additional images" section. Six to eight of them can easily be removed as unnecessary and close duplication. Otr500 (talk) 02:41, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Removed twelve images that are either redundant or offer nothing that cannot be seen from remaining images. The animated image does not offer anything special either.Wikipedia is not a mirror or a repository of links, images, or media files, nor a "manual, guidebook, textbook, or scientific journal".
