Cranial Bones: Lateral View01:27

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...
Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View01:14

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,...
Sutures of the Skull01:22

Sutures of the Skull

The human skull is composed of several bones that come together to protect the brain and support the structures of the face. The junctions where these bones meet are called sutures.
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Ovine craniofacial malformations, specifically mandibular distoclusion, result from a shortened mandible. This condition, termed brachygnathia inferior, affects skull bone morphology and causes dental malocclusion.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Anatomy
  • Comparative Pathology
  • Ovine Craniofacial Morphology

Background:

  • Craniofacial malformations present a significant challenge in veterinary medicine.
  • Mandibular distoclusion, a specific malocclusion, has been observed in ovine populations.
  • Understanding the underlying skeletal morphology is crucial for diagnosis and management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To phenotypically describe craniofacial malformations in sheep.
  • To determine the specific morphological changes in skull bones associated with mandibular distoclusion.
  • To identify the precise cause of ovine mandibular distoclusion.

Main Methods:

  • Phenotypic description of mandibular distoclusion in 64 sheep.
  • Analysis of laterolateral standardized digital radiographs to identify anatomic reference points.
  • Measurement of 16 linear and 7 angular parameters across defined reference lines to quantify morphological changes.

Main Results:

  • Significant shortening observed in the rostral corpus mandibulae and ramus mandibulae.
  • The molar part of the mandible remained morphologically unchanged.
  • No significant elongation of the maxilla or incisive bone was detected.

Conclusions:

  • Ovine mandibular distoclusion is primarily caused by specific mandibular bone shortening.
  • The observed malformation is accurately described as brachygnathia inferior.
  • This study clarifies the etiology of a specific ovine craniofacial malformation.
