Types of Skull
 Infant:






facial portion is 1/8 the cranial area
underdeveloped upper and lower jaw
absence of teeth
birth to 7 years: rapid growth
7 years to puberty: slow growth
puberty: significant growth
22 years: sutures ossify
Adult Skull
 Facial
portion: ½ size cranial area
 Male and female develop similarly until
puberty
 Female: lighter and smaller




cranial capacity: 10% less
walls thinner and smoother
upper and lower jaws smaller
infantine characteristics
Aging
 reduction
of size of upper and lower jaws
due to the loss of teeth
 reduction in size of alveolar processes
 reduction in vertical length of the face and
an alteration in the angle of the jaw
