Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View

The superior view of the cranium shows the frontal and paired parietal bones.
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...

Cranial Bones: Lateral View

Cranial Bones: Lateral View

The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

Cephalometrics

Background:

Accurate cranial base references are crucial for facial measurements in cephalometric studies.
Existing literature suggests a standardized method for establishing cranial base axes, but its applicability in diverse populations requires investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

To determine the cranial base inclination in adult Brazilian patients with anteroposterior skeletal discrepancies.
To assess the reliability of a protocol for reproducing cranial base references in cephalometric analysis.

Main Methods:

Lateral cephalograms from three time points (pre-treatment/pre-surgery, 6 months post-surgery, 1 year post-surgery) were analyzed.
A protocol involving an individual template for cranial base reference reproduction was evaluated.

Main Results:

The mean cranial base inclination observed was 7.91 degrees.
Intraindividual data variation indicated the protocol's effectiveness in ensuring measurement precision.

Conclusions:

The proposed protocol utilizing an individual template is reliable for accurate cephalometric measurements.
This method can be effectively employed in cephalometric studies, particularly for analyzing skeletal disharmony.
