The biomechanics of chewing and suckling in the infant: A potential mechanism for physiologic metopic suture closure.
Craniosynostosis is a condition with neurologic and aesthetic sequelae requiring invasive surgery. Understanding its pathobiology requires familiarity with the processes underlying physiologic suture closure. Animal studies have shown that cyclical strain from chewing and suckling influences the clo...
