The study of individual anatomical variability of the facial skeleton, taking into account gender and the existing craniotype and using original craniological methods, is an extremely important and urgent task today. The use of craniometric points as universally recognized landmarks for research has always been the "golden" standard, but with the development of modern methods of instrumental research, when it became possible to obtain the intravital craniometric characteristics of the human skull, it gave an impetus to the study of craniology at a new level and set new challenges for researchers. The material for the study was 39 dry bone preparations of whole or fragmented human skulls of both sexes, from the collection of the Department of Human Anatomy of the Kharkiv National Medical University, and 85 results of CT scans of the heads of mature people without existing bone tissue pathologies. The following were calculated for all parameters: x ¯arithmetic mean; σ -is the mean square deviation and m x ¯ -the error of the arithmetic
