Cranial Vault Suture Obliteration in Relation to Age: An Autopsy-Based Observational Study.

We concluded that obliteration on the endocranial surface is more reliable than on the ectocranial surface. No statistically significant difference exists on the obliteration of sutures on the right and left sides of coronal and lambdoid sutures. The lapsed union was evident in all three sutures ectocranially. Endocranial suture obliteration can be used as a corroborative tool for age estimation.
