Anatomy of the Infant Head
Because infant anatomy of the head differs greatly from adult cranial anatomy, Dr. James Bosma of the National Institute of Dental Research wanted to produce a reference guide on infant anatomy for pediatricians, pediatric dentists, maxillo-facial surgeons, and other physicians.
