Cephalometric and craniometric age changes in adult humans
Abstract:
Thirty-three cephalometric and craniometric measurements were made on lateral radiographs of 154 males and 199 females, aged 21-83 years, from Vienna, Austria. The measurements were studied in age-groups by univariate and multivariate analyses. The results showed that the height dimensions of the face and viscerocranium increase up to the fourth decade but then decrease, while the height dimensions of the neurocranium decrease progressively with advancing age. However, the latter findings could possibly also reflect a secular trend. The thickness of the soft tissues showed continuous increases throughout the series, especially along the lower face. Although the age changes were greater in cephalometric than in the craniometric dimensions, those of the skull were also statistically significant. Using discriminant analysis on the cephalometric data results in correct assignment of 63.32% of females to their age-group but only 58.44% in males. The higher correct assignment of the females could have been due to their larger sample size.

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
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,...
Changes in the Appendicular Skeleton with Age
Initially, the limb buds consist of a core of mesenchyme covered by a layer of ectoderm. The ectoderm at the end of the limb bud thickens to form a narrow crest called the apical ectodermal ridge. This ridge stimulates the underlying...
Teeth
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin and...

Physical Development
Physical processes, also known as maturation, encompass the biological changes that occur across an individual's life. These changes begin with genetic inheritance and continue through various stages, including growth in height and weight,...
