  4. Terms (cont’d) • Anterior and Posterior • Superior and Inferior • Medial and Lateral • Bilateral • Frontal and Profile • Planes: median, horizontal, oblique, surface • Projection and Recession

  5. Terms (cont’d) • Depression and Protrusion • Concave/Concavity and Convex/Convexity • Inclination • Symmetry and Asymmetry • Physiognomy • Norm

  6. Classes of Cases Requiring Restoration • Klicker page 81 and Mayer page 505 • 1) Injuries • 2) Disease (Pathological) • 3) Post-mortem Tissue Changes • 4) Embalming • Conservative Approach (Mayer page 501)

  7. Types of Restoration • Klicker page 9 • Minor Restoration: “requiring minimum effort, skill, or time to complete” • Major Restoration: “those requiring a long period of time, are extensive, require advanced technical skill, and expressed written consent to perform”

  8. Written Permission • Obtain written permission from the family before doing any restoration that requires incisions, excisions or anything that may be considered a mutiliation!!

  11. Geometric Form of the Normal Skull • Klicker page 12 • Oval with one end broader than the other. • Greatest width is compared with greatest length. • Greatest width = 2/3 the length

  12. 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

  13. 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

  14. 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
