Cleft lip seems to be caused by a disorder in neural crest migration to the frontonasal field and cleft palate by a disorder in neural crest migration to the maxillary and palatal fields. Combined cleft lip and palate seems to be caused by a primary early defect in the cranial course and function of the notochord. The dentition was significantly different in the different cleft types supporting the view of different aetiology/genetics.

Objectives: To compare results obtained since 1970 from craniofacial embryological studies on human fetal tissues with results from similar studies performed on animal tissues and focus on how the different tissue types and methods can enrich the human postnatal craniofacial research. There are three sections: i) research on normal and pathological human fetal material, ii) animal experimental research performed on different species, and iii) comparisons of the results obtained. Human Material: On human prenatal material, normal and pathological developmental processes in the mandible, maxilla, nasal cavity, body axis, cranial base, vomeronasal organs, pituitary gland and nervous system were related to postnatal findings. Specific focus was given to pre/postnatal bridging of observations on holoprosencephaly, cleft lip/palate, Down syndrome, myelomeningocele/spina bifida, Kallmann syndrome, Turner syndrome and Fragile X syndrome. Demarcations of pathological regions in Cri du chat, Velo-cardio-Facial syndrome and Crouzon syndrome were mapped. Animal Material: Animal experimental results from studies on the notochord, gastrulation, neural crest, hindbrain, rhombomere, homeobox genes and experimentally induced malformation were presented. Comparing materials: The educational background of the scientists performing human and animal research, their postnatal clinical experience, the research materials used and the methods available for research are compared. Furthermore, the obtained findings result in a “pro et contra list” indicating what is positive and what is negative for improving postnatal human diagnostics. Conclusion: Human and animal studies in craniofacial embryology enrich human postnatal craniofacial insight differently. Future cooperation between human and animal research cultures is recommended.

“…The first report on calvarial thickness was by Anderson (2) in 1882, which was followed by Todd (3) in 1924. Then further studies were estimated and analyzed for long period and becoming a critical issue for medical, forensic medicine, and anthropological studies, and different relationships between calvarial thickness, gender, age, general body build mass, and race have been studied pattern of cranial vault thickness in normal and pathological development have been discussed over years (15)(16)(17)(18)(19) . The relationship between calvarial thickness and skeletal malocclusion has not been published until very recently (20,21) .…”

The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the calvarial thickness parameterin both genders, and in different skeletal patterns. The sample included 120pretreatment digital lateral cephalometric radiographs of Iraqi subjects (60 males and60 females) aged between 17 to 30 years, attending Orthodontic Clinic in the Collegeof Dentistry; Baghdad University, and private clinics in Baghdad city. The 120radiographs were divided into 3 groups (40 radiographs for each group) according tothe ANB angles: ANB angle smaller than one degree (Class III), between two andfour degrees (Class I), and larger than four degrees (Class II), each group was furthersubdivided into two subgroups according to gender (20 radiographs for each gender).Four linear measurements were used exclusively in the assessment of calvarialthickness parameter in both genders.The mean calvarial thickness values changed from highest to lowest in sphenoid,parietal, occipital, and frontal bones respectively. In the skeletal class II malocclusionthe frontal and occipital bones' thickness showed highly significant gender differences(P<0.01) using Student's t- test, with females had thicker frontal bone than males, andmales had thicker occipital bone than females, in addition the skeletal glass II groupshowed no significant gender difference (P>0.05) regarding sphenoid and parietalbones' thickness. The most vital outcomes of the present study were the frontal andoccipital bones can be used as important key bones for understanding the calvarialphenotypic description and sexual dimorphism in different skeletal patterns, while thesphenoid and parietal bones can be used as reference bones for standardization ofcephalometric analysis.
