The complex, thin and irregular bones of the human craniofacial skeleton (CFS) are
connected together through bony articulations and connective tissues. These articulations …

Many bones in mammalian skulls are linked together by cranial sutures, connective tissue
joints that are morphologically variable and show different levels of interdigitation among …

Characterizing the biomechanical behavior of sutures in the human craniofacial skeleton
(CFS) is essential to understand the global impact of these articulations on load …

To investigate how cranial suture morphology and the arrangement of sutural collagen fibres
respond to compressive and tensile loads, an idealised bone–suture–bone complex was …

Objective Sutures are fibrous joints connecting the bones of the head. Despite the
fundamental role played by sutures in dentofacial orthopaedics, their biomechanical …

Sutures are synarthroses connecting the bones of the head with each other through a
fibrous sutural ligament. The knowledge of their biomechanical properties is relevant in the …

OBJECTIVES: There is ongoing debate over the existence of cranial motion resulting from
manual manipulation during Cranial Osteopathy (CO). The purpose of this study was to …

Sutures are soft connective tissue articulations between craniofacial bones. Suture
mechanics deals with patterns of mechanical stress experienced in sutures resulting from …

The biomechanical significance of cranial sutures in primates is an open question because
their global impact is unclear, and their material properties are difficult to measure. In this …

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 …
