The primary palate is an embryonic structure in the developing skull that, together with the more posterior secondary palate, separates the nasal from the oral cavity.[1] It is a derivative of the first pharyngeal arch.[2] Around the fifth week, the intermaxillary segment arises as a result of fusion of the two medial nasal processes and the frontonasal process within the embryo.[citation needed] The intermaxillary segment gives rise to the primary palate. The primary palate will form the premaxillary portion of the maxilla (anterior one-third of the final palate).[citation needed] This small portion is anterior to the incisive foramen and will contain the maxillary incisors.[3]
