SUMMARY: Morphologically the Pterion marks the location of the four cranial bones, viz. frontal bone, sphenoid angle of the parietal bone, squamous part of the temporal bone and the greater wing of the sphenoid bone. Population-specific differences exists in the position and union of the Pterion. The Pte...

Analysis and 3D Imaging of Morphometric - Mineral Structure Changes in Skulls of Male and Female Guinea Pigs During and After Developmental Period

Int. j. morphol; 42 (2), 2024
SUMMARY: Even though morphometric and mineral studies related to the guinea pig (Cavia porcellus) skull have been carried out, this study is the first attempt to evaluate all developmental stages of male and female guinea pigs. This study aims to this study is to create 3D modeling of CT images obtained ...

Biological Identification of Skulls in Indonesian and Thai Populations: Ancestry Estimation, Sex Determination, Stature Estimation, and Age Estimation

Int. j. morphol; 42 (1), 2024
SUMMARY: This review article will present an overview of biological profiles in forensic utilities. The biological profile of the skull in the existing literature can help to identify humans, especially if the condition of the victim found is a result of mutilation or a bomb explosion. When it comes to t...

Topographic evaluation and location of the greater palatine foramen in dry skulls

Arq. odontol; 60 (), 2024
Aim: To evaluate the anatomical location of the GPF in macerated skulls by means of linear measurements and anatomical structures, in turn providing information that can aid dentists when performing anesthetic and surgical techniques. Methods: An experimental ex vivo study was performed. The sam...

Analysis of the Asterion Morphology in Relation to Its Clinical Significance

Int. j. morphol; 41 (6), 2023
SUMMARY: The asterion presents a significant anthropological marking and meeting point between three sutures. It is a surface landmark for the transverse-sigmoid venous sinus complex and is also a surgical landmark for access to the posterior cranial fossa, giving it clinical importance. The aim of this ...

Changes in the Craniomaxillofacial Growth and Development of Sprague Dawley Rats Subjected to Permanent Experimental Unilateral Nasal Obstruction

Int. j. morphol; 41 (4), 2023
SUMMARY: Breathing is considered a vital function dependent on factors such as adequate permeability of the nasal route, which is linked to physiological functions, intellectual processes, and craniofacial growth. The aim of this study was to determine the changes in the craniomaxillofacial growth and bo...

Osteological Study of the Parietal Foramen in the Adult Human Skull Bones and its Clinical and Surgical Correlations

Int. j. morphol; 41 (3), 2023
SUMMARY: Parietal emissary foramina (PEF) are small holes, which are localized between the middle and posterior thirds of the parietal bone posterior surface close to the sagittal suture. PEF are important structures that protect the parietal emissary vein, which passes through it. During neurosurgery pr...
