The objective of the study was to relate the causative agent of cranial deformations with the cultural area, the suture closure and cranial forms, in the context of the craniofacial growth of pre-columbian peruvian population, included in the typological classification of Weiss. Sample: eighteen skulls representing pre-columbian ethnic groups of ancient Peru comprised within the typological classification of Weiss were selected from the curatorship human remains of National Museum of Archaeology, Anthropology and History of Peru. Methodology: first we made the recognition of the skulls and registered their codes adopted according to regions or cultural associations by Curatorship. Then the skulls were photographed following anatomical standards. The information obtained was through observation of high-resolution images. Results and conclusions: cephalic deformations are consistent with t...

Objective:To estimate the age of the skulls with artificial cephalic deformation through the obliteration of the Palatine, cranial sutures and other age indicators present in the chronology of tooth eruption; es-tablishing coherent or conflicting relationship between them. Materials and method: it consisted of 18 pre-Columbian skulls in the typological classification of Pedro Weiss. Estimation of the age is based on ossification ectocraneal of the sutures of the system box cranial and lateral anterior Meindl & Lovejoy, the obliteration of Palatine by the Mann method sutures, and other indicators of age; registering grades of closure suture of each craneometricos points; rated as: 0 = open suture; 1 = minimum obliteration; 2 = significant obliteration; 3 = complete obliteration. The sum of the values obtained according to Meindl & Lovejov or the obliteration of the last midpalatal...

Necrotizing periodontal Diseases and Conditions in 1999 are two: Necrotizing gingivitis (NG) and Necrotizing periodontitis (NP). Necrotizing stomatitis (NE) is a more aggressive variation, which can be linked to the two entities mentioned. In this review we discuss their definitions, etiology, clinical aspects, diagnosis and treatment, trying to clarify these points with updated concepts.

Las enfermedades periodontales necrotizantes según el Taller Internacional para la Clasificación de la Enfermedades y Condiciones Periodontales realizado en 1999, son dos; la Gingivitis Necrotizante (GN) y la Periodontitis Necrotizante (PN). Una variación más agresiva, que puede estar ligada a las dos entidades mencionadas es la Estomatitis Necrotizante (EN). En esta revisión trataremos sus definiciones, etiología, aspectos clínicos, diagnóstico y tratamiento, tratando de aclarar estos puntos con conceptos actualizados.
