skull remodeling

Skull remodeling is a natural process where the bones of the skull change shape or size over time, often to accommodate brain growth in infants or adapt to injuries or deformities. This involves bone cells breaking down old tissue and forming new, healthy bone, allowing the skull to grow, heal, or reshape. In adults, remodeling continues to repair microscopic damage and maintain bone strength. Medical procedures may also guide skull remodeling to correct deformities or injuries, using surgeries or devices that support natural bone adaptation. Overall, it's the body's way of maintaining a healthy, functional skull structure throughout life.
