Foramina
Infraorbital foramen
Exit of the infraorbital nerve and artery on the anterior maxilla. Cadaver mean 8.5 mm below the orbital rim in men (7.8 mm in women), 27.7 mm from the midline; a CBCT series places it 8.0 mm below the rim.
What it is
Exit of the infraorbital nerve and artery on the anterior maxilla. Cadaver mean 8.5 mm below the orbital rim in men (7.8 mm in women), 27.7 mm from the midline; a CBCT series places it 8.0 mm below the rim. Placed here at the published male mean below this skull's own rim.
How the Codex reads it
Uplift's anterior midface work sits medial and inferior to this exit, on bone, so that the infraorbital vessels stay superficial to the deposit.

Every number in this atlas cites the study it came from. The full method, including what this site withholds on purpose, is on sources and method.
This site teaches one level above the Codex's working manual: the architecture is public, the coordinates are not. This page withholds entry points, landmark constructions, volumes and read-to-point routing, exactly as the atlas does. What is shown and what is withheld.
