Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View01:14

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View

8.7K
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 View01:27

Cranial Bones: Lateral View

7.9K
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...

Sutures of the Skull01:22

Sutures of the Skull

14.2K
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...

Overview of the Skull01:08

Overview of the Skull

9.0K
The cranium (skull) is the skeletal structure of the head that supports the face and protects the brain. It is subdivided into the facial bones and the brain case, or cranial vault. The facial bones underlie the facial structures, form the nasal cavity, enclose the eyeballs, and support the teeth of the upper and lower jaws.
The cranial vault surrounds and protects the brain and houses the middle and inner ear structures. This cavity is bounded superiorly by the rounded top of the skull, which...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Scaphocephaly, a condition from premature sagittal suture fusion, shows more clinical Class II malocclusions in children. However, radiographic measurements and corrective surgery do not significantly impact occlusion.

Area of Science:

  • Craniofacial Surgery
  • Orthodontics
  • Pediatric Dentistry

Background:

  • Scaphocephaly results from premature sagittal suture fusion, often treated with surgery in infancy.
  • No prior data exists on occlusion in scaphocephalic patients or surgery's effect.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe occlusion in scaphocephalic patients.
  • To compare scaphocephalic occlusion with the general pediatric population.
  • To compare occlusion between surgically treated and untreated scaphocephalic subgroups.

Main Methods:

  • Orthodontic assessment of 91 scaphocephalic patients (2-11 years).
  • Comparison of clinical and cephalometric data between operated (n=44) and unoperated (n=47) groups.
  • Lateral cephalometric radiography for 38 patients.

Main Results:

  • Scaphocephalic patients showed a higher prevalence of clinical Class II malocclusions.
  • Cephalometric values for skeletal Class II malocclusions remained within normal limits.
  • Maxillary width was within normal limits; surgery did not affect occlusion.

Conclusions:

  • Scaphocephalic patients exhibit more clinical Class II malocclusions but normal skeletal and transverse dimensions.
  • Craniovault surgery for scaphocephaly does not negatively impact occlusion.
