In vivo analysis of bone strain about the sagittal suture in macaca mulatta during masticatory movements

In vivo analysis of bone strain about the sagittal suture in macaca mulatta during masticatory movements

R G Behrents et al. J Dent Res. 1978 Sep-Oct.

Abstract

In vivo strain gauge analysis demonstrated that tensile bone strain is transmitted along the cranial vault to the parasagittal region during isotonic temporalis contraction. This strain is sufficient to cause measurable separation of the sagittal suture, and thus could influence growth at the sutural margins.
