The zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) refers to the anatomical region of the face that involves the articulation between the [[zygoma]] (cheekbone) and the [[maxilla]] (upper jaw). This complex is a critical component of the midface and contributes to the structural support of the [[orbit]] (eye socket). The ZMC includes the [[zygomatic arch]], the zygomaticofrontal suture, and the zygomaticomaxillary suture. ---- see [[Zygomaticomaxillary complex fracture]]
