Upon exiting the greater palatine foramen located medial and slightly distal to the maxillary third molar, the greater palatine artery and nerve run anterior along the hard palate to the incisive foramen as described earlier. The greater palatine neurovascular bundle is typically located at the junction of the vertical and horizontal palatal walls of the palatal vault (Figure 7.5).

Figure 7.5 Position of the greater palatine artery and nerve. The greater palatine neurovascular bundle is outlined in purple in the frontal section of the skull at the level of the premolars. Individuals with higher palatal vaults exhibit greater distances from the lingual gingival margin to the neurovascular bundle than lower palatal vaults.
