Our range of Bone Clones Child Skull Models features meticulously crafted replica skull models at different developmental stages. The Child Skull Model (14 Month Old) consists of two parts - the cranium and the jaw - and replicates the development stage of a 14-16 month-old infant. Its developmental age is determined through precise measurements and landmarks. Key features indicating the infant's age include underdeveloped mastoids, developing number 2 molar, and the slight presence of the metopic suture. Accurate dental arrangement and anatomical features make this 14-month-old child skull model valuable for dental trainees, anatomy students, and forensic studies. The Child Skull Model (15 Month Old) is divided into two parts: the cranium and the jaw. Precision in measurement and landmark assessment was used to ascertain the development age of the skull, resulting in a detailed model that closely resembles a real human skull. Notable features include the eruption of juvenile (milk) teeth in the front upper and lower jaws, unfused anterior and posterior intra-occipital sutures, open anterior fontanelle, and closed posterior, sphenoidal, and mastoidal fontanelles. The Child Skull Model (1 Year Old) consists of two parts with a removable calvarium. The developmental age of this infant skull was meticulously determined through examination of natural bone specimens and panoramic radiographs, resulting in a model that authentically mirrors the characteristics of a real human skull. The skull also features an accurate dental set, ideal for dental trainees. The Child Skull Model (18 Month Old) comprises two parts - the cranium and the jaw. It accurately represents the developmental milestones of a child at 18 months. Determination of the skull's developmental age involved meticulous measurements and landmark assessments, resulting in a model that closely resembles a real human skull. Highlighted features include the eruption of juvenile (milk) teeth in the front, upper, and lower jaws, along with the openness of key cranial structures such as the anterior fontanelle and sutures. The Child Skull Model (4 Year Old) comprises two parts - one cranium and one jaw. Its accurate portrayal of skeletal development, determined through precise measurements and landmark assessments, offers an immersive learning experience. The detailed anatomy of this skull model includes all juvenile (milk) teeth present in the upper and lower jaws, along with "open" sutures indicative of skeletal immaturity at this age, including the basilar (spheno-occipital synchondrosis) suture. These features assist in determining the age of the child and enhance the model's educational value. The Child Skull Model (6 Year Old) comprises three parts - one cranium, jaw and calvarium cap. Its accurate portrayal of skeletal development, determined through precise measurements and landmark assessments, offers an immersive learning experience. The detailed anatomy of this skull model includes all juvenile (milk) teeth present in the upper and lower jaws. The anterior, posterior, sphenoidal and mastoidal fontanelles are all closed. The "open" sutures are indicative of skeletal immaturity at this age, including the basilar (spheno-occipital synchondrosis) suture. These features assist in determining the age of the child and enhance the model's educational value. The Child Skull Model (9 Year Old) consists of two parts - the cranium and the jaw. The detailed anatomy of this skull model includes the root apices of the permanent incisors and nearly formed first molars. Additionally, it highlights features such as an open spheno-occipital synchondrosis and closed anterior intra-occipital suture, aiding in determining the developmental stage of the child. The Child Skull Model (13 Year Old) showcases all permanent teeth fully erupted and no milk teeth remaining. The dental features include partially closed apices of the canines, premolars, and second molars. The cranial shape retains some features of immaturity with distinct facial contours and less pronounced temporal ridges. Moreover, the model highlights well-defined nasal structures, adding to its anatomical accuracy and educational value. The Child Skull Model (3 Year Old) comprises two parts - the cranium and jaw. It accurately reflects the developmental stage of a young child. Notably, the skull features 12 juvenile (milk) teeth in both the upper and lower jaws, with no adult teeth present. Additionally, several distinctive features assist in determining the age of the child, including the remnants of the mendosal suture and fused intra-occipital sutures. The Child Skull Model (4 Month Old) comprises two parts - the cranium and jaw. Although no teeth have fully erupted in either the upper or lower jaws, midline elevations in the mandibular dental arcade indicate the initial stages of primary (deciduous) incisor eruption. This near-eruption status is confirmed by a mandibular radiograph of the original specimen. Additionally, assessment of the fontanelles ("soft spots") offers further insight into age estimation. All available evidence supports an age range of 3 to 6 months. The replica skull models from Bone Clones serve as invaluable educational resources tailored for anatomy, dental and medical students and professionals, ideal for educational instruction and training purposes. As Bone Clones products are imported to order from the USA, we regret that all models are non-returnable unless faulty. Please speak to our Customer Services team for more information
