Cranial Bones: Lateral View01:27

Cranial Bones: Lateral View

8.3K
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...

Finding Volume Using Cross-Sectional Area

228
For solids whose cross-sectional areas vary in a predictable way, volume can be determined by integrating these areas along an axis perpendicular to the slices. This approach is particularly useful for polyhedral solids, where classical geometric formulas may not be immediately applicable. A tetrahedron provides a clear example of how cross-sectional integration can be applied to a three-dimensional object with continuously changing geometry.Consider a tetrahedron with height h and a base that...

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View01:14

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View

9.1K
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,...

Area of Science:

  • Forensic Radiology
  • Anthropology
  • Odontology

Background:

  • Biological age estimation is crucial in forensic science for reconstructing profiles.
  • Dental aging methods like Kvaal-Solheim and Cameriere are established but can be improved.
  • Secondary dentine deposition and pulp chamber reduction are key aging indicators in teeth.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop novel regression formulas for chronological age estimation.
  • To utilize canine teeth pulp chamber volume relative to total tooth volume.
  • To enable affordable and reproducible age estimation methods.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of 91 cone beam computerized scans (CBCT).
  • Calculation of canine pulp chamber volume and total tooth volume.
  • Development of new regression formulae based on volume ratios.

Main Results:

  • Established a relationship between canine tooth volume ratios and chronological age.
  • Proposed new regression formulae for more accurate age estimation.
  • Demonstrated the utility of open-source software for volume calculations.

Conclusions:

  • Canine pulp chamber volume relative to tooth volume offers a reliable indicator for age estimation.
  • The developed regression formulae provide a potentially more accurate and accessible method for forensic age assessment.
  • Affordable, reproducible dental age estimation is achievable with modern imaging and software.
