Genetic, functional, topographic-anatomical and clinical relationship of the orbit with the maxilla creates conditions to consider these structures as a single maxillo-orbital complex. The data revealed on anatomical objects, using classic morphometric and modern radiographic methods, taking into account the possibilities of their use in the dental practice, showed significant age and individual regularities of their structure. The structure of the complex, belonging to the organ of vision, actively develops during the late prenatal and early postnatal periods. Parts, which are functionally associated with chewing apparatus, on the contrary, actively form during its formation.
