INTRODUCTION: During the early development, numerous histological and morphometric
changes occur in the cranial sutures the exact knowledge of which is of fundamental …

Although cranial sutures presumably play a role in absorbing and/or transmitting loads
applied to the skull, loading patterns on facial sutures are poorly understood. The zygomatic …

The skull is distinguished from other parts of the skeleton by its composite construction. The
sutures between bony elements provide for interstitial growth of the cranium, but at the same …

The mechanical properties of the midpalatal suture and their relationship with anatomical
parameters are relevant for both tissue engineering and clinical treatments, such as in …

Neurocranial expansion and mastication are commonly implicated as the two major
biomechanical factors affecting suture morphology. In deer the antlers provide an additional …

Objective: To evaluate the dimensional changes that occur in the internasal and
nasopremaxillary sutures, and related transverse craniofacial dimensions, of rats from 4 to …

Sutures, the thin, soft tissue between skull bones, serve as the major craniofacial growth
centers during postnatal development. In a newborn skull, the sutures are straight; however …

Craniofacial sutures are soft connective-tissue joints between mineralized skull bones.
Suture mechanobiology refers to the understanding of how mechanical stimuli modulate …

Brachycephalic domestic dog breeds are characterised by a relatively short and broad skull
with a dorsally rotated rostrum (airorhynchy). This skull conformation, together with …

Background Today there is still a controversy surrounding the existence of mobility between
the bones of the skull, the foundation on which cranial osteopathy techniques are based …
