Restorative Art
The superior rim of the eye socket.
Frontal
A bony ridge found on the inferior surface of the maxilla and the superior surface of this bone which contain the sockets for the teeth.
Maxilla
A paired bone with several processes that form the skeletal base of most of the superior face, roof of the mouth, sides of the nasal cavity, and floor of the orbit.
Maxilla
The ascending part of the upper jaw which gradually protrudes as it rises beside this bone to meet this bone; the ascending process of the upper jaw.
Maxilla
The sharp, bony projection located medially at the inferior margin of the nasal cavity.
Maxilla
Directly inferior to the glabella and forming a dome over the superior portion of the nasal cavity. Many indicate this structure to exhibit a triangular form. It is also valuable to note that the formation of the bridge of the nose is sustained by the articulation of these two bones.
Nasal
The orifice in the bony face bounded by the margins of the these bones and the maxilla.
Nasal
The rounded peak of the external convexity of these bones; determines the widest part of the cranium; note that the eminences are located a short distance above the posterior border of the ears. This may be helpful when attaching the modeled ear to the side of the cranium.
Parietal
Two bones that form the posterior 2/3 of the vault of the cranium and part of the sides of the skull.
Parietal
Inferior portion of the sides and base of the cranium, inferior to these bones and anterior to this bone.
Temporal
A single bony prominence of the frontal bone located between the superciliary arches in the inferior part of this bone above the root of the nose.
Frontal
Paired, rounded, unmargined prominences of this bone found approximately one inch beneath the normal hairline.
Frontal
The anterior third of the cranium, forming the forehead and the anterior portion of the roof of the skull.
Frontal
The inferior part of the forehead just superior to the median ends of the eyebrows.
Frontal
This surface continues to ascend superiorly until it reaches the parietal bones. The crown is defined as teh topmost part of the head.
Frontal
This surface extends from the upper margin of the eye sockets to the level of the two frontal eminences. The forehead is defined as that part of the face above the eyes.
Frontal
A bony angle formed by the junction of the posterior edge of the ramus of this bone and inferior surface of the body of this bone; marks widest part of the lower 1/3 of the face.
Mandible
A bony ridge found on the inferior surface of this bone and the superior surface of this bone which contain the sockets for the teeth.
Mandible
A relatively deep indentation between the condyle and coronoid of this bone.
Mandible
A rounded prominence at the end of a bone forming an articulation; the posterior process of the ramus of this bone.
Mandible
A triangular projection on the inferior portion of the anterior part of this bone.
Mandible
The anterior, non-articulating process of the ramus of this bone which serves as the insertion for the temporalis muscle.
Mandible
The depression between the mental eminence and the mandibular incisors.
Mandible
The horseshoe-shaped bone forming the inferior jaw.
Mandible
A single bone described as the lowest part of the back and base of the cranium, forming a cradle for the brain.
Occipital
An opening in this bone through which the spinal cord passes from the brain (note the relevance of the foramen magnum when restoring the decapitated case. This larger opening may receive an appropriately sized PVC pipe or wooden dowel to assist in the reattachment of the head to the trunk.)
Occipital
Each of two rounded knobs on this bone that form a joint with the first cervical vertebra.
Occipital
The prominence at the center of the external surface of the occipital bone.
Occipital
The concave surface of the head overlying this bone.
Temporal
The opening or passageway of the ear.
Temporal
The processes of these bones; determines the widest part of the face.
Temporal
The rounded projection on the inferior portion of the temporal bones just posterior to the lobe of the ear.
Temporal
The small oval depression on the zygomatic process of this bone into which the condyle of the mandible articulates, just anterior to the external auditory meatus.
Temporal
The vertical surface of this bone.
Temporal
Bones of the cheek. Often described as being diamond shaped and forms the cheek bones, the surface of these bones is on both the frontal and lateral planes of the face.
Zygomatic
One of the lesser concavities of the face located on the lateral portion of the cheek inferior to the zygomatic arch.
Zygomatic
The processes on these two bones determines the widest part of the face.
Zygomatic
The surface of this bone is convex in both an anterior and lateral direction. The change in direction of the bone occurs at the approximate center of the bone. It is important to practice caution when rouging the cheek as the prominence can create a highlight.
Zygomatic
the lateral rim of the eye socket formed by a process of the frontal bone and a process of the zygomatic bone.
