Facial sutural closure

1. Facial sutural closure is associated with suture gap density in humans (r = 0.465).

   “and a positive correlation with gap density (r = 0.465) (p ≤ 0.001).”

1. Facial sutural closure is associated with suture gap width in humans (r = - 0.752).

   “Closure degree is age-related, occurring at different time points for each suture, and shows a strong inverse correlation with gap width (r = - 0.752)”
