Table 8 Synchondroses, sutures, and suture groups analyzed in the study and their associated scoring schemes.
From: Suture obliteration patterns in wolves and a comparison to dogs
Suture and suture groups, portion scored | Scoring of obliteration extent |
|---|---|
Basispheno-basioccipital, entire | 0 = none; 1 = partial; 2 = complete |
Interpalatine and Intermaxillary, entire | 0 = none; 1 = partial; 2 = complete |
Maxillo-palatine, entire | 0 = none; 1 = partial; 2 = complete |
Premaxillo-maxillary (lateral) entire most affected side | 0 = none; 1 < 50%; 2 > 50% |
Nasal-premaxilla/maxilla/frontal, entire most affected side | 0 = none; 1 < 25%; 2 > 25% |
Internasal, entire | 0 = none; 1 < 25%; 2 > 25% |
Interfrontal, entire, except caudal-most 10% | 0 = none; 1 < 25%; 2 > 25% |
