Abstract
- The purpose of this study was to investigate the mean cranial bone thickness at various points of the bone and to serve as a clinical guide for choosing a bone graft. Twelve bones were obtained from 6 Korean adult skulls for this study. The mean bone thickness at each point of the 17 points of the bone and at the corresponding points of the opposite bone was obtained in all skulls studied. The thinnest part of the parietal bone was 5.92mm. The thickest part of the parietal bone was 7.58mm. The mean bone thickness at each point of measurements on two opposite bones was compared using the paired Student's t-test. The mean thickness did not differ significantly. The thickness in the same bone varied widely depending on the points of measurement.
