Nasospinale – Prosthion | 4 | Follows midline. |
R./L. Premax-Max Suture | 11 | From Premax-Max Superior to Premax-Max Inferior along suture. |
Dorsal Rostrum | 23 | From right M1-2 contact superiorly across rostrum midline to left M1-2 contact, orthogonal to alveolar plane. |
R./L. Orbit | 13 | Orbital margin from Zygo-Max Superior laterally through Frontomalare Orbitale, medially through Mid-Torus Inferior and hamulus/notch to dacryon. |
R./L. Temporal Margin | 10 | From Frontomalare Temporale to Zygo-Temp Superior along temporal margin. |
R./L. Inferior ZygomaticMargin | 9 | From Zygo-Max Inferior to Zygo-Temp Inferior along inferior-most margin of zygomatic. |
R./L. Alveolar Margin | 10 | Along outer margin of alveolar process from Distal M3 to Mesial P3. |
