This review gives a description of the biologic significance of craniofacial sutures with
respect to growth and to growth corrections. Sutural growth and its regulation are discussed …

The anatomy and development of cranial and facial sutures have been studied in detail
using histological sections, 2D radiographs and more recently CT imaging. However, little …

Structured Abstract Authors–Herring SW, Ochareon P Problems–The craniofacial region
presents special problems for tissue engineering. First, the stresses and strains that …

There have been a number of studies on strain across craniofacial sutures in the past two
decades, especially the work on pigs in Herring's lab (Herring and Mucci, 1991; Herring …

Purpose: The aim of the study was to examine the influence of cranial sutures on the crack
behaviour of a human skull after the impact. The authors focused on the assessment of skull …

Objectives: The purpose of this investigation was to provide an in vitro evaluation of the
effects of soft tissue and position on vector during distraction. Materials and Methods: A …

Introduction Current craniofacial growth modification devices use static forces, but cyclic
forces are believed by some to be more effective. The latter have not been evaluated in …

Objective: The goal of the study was to examine the strain in the sutures of the midface and
the cranial base with maxillary protraction therapy and to clarify whether such stretching …

Building on Sutherland׳ s approach to sutures (“form follows function and function follows
form״) applied to the thicknesses–and hence flexibility-of cranial bones, a new model of …

Background. Cranial sutures are deformable joints between the bones of the skull, bridged
by collagen fibres. They function to hold the bones of the skull together while allowing for …
