Abstract:According to the functional matrix hypothesis, changes in size and shape and localization of facial bones during individual ontogeny are influenced by periosteal and capsular matrices. However, the interaction of the functional matrices with the distribution of areas of bone remodeling has not been extensively studied yet. Here we evaluate the changes in the volume of the paranasal sinuses and orbital capsule with age and their association with facial growth arising from bone remodeling patterns of the upper a… Show more
