A member asked:
Does maxilla and sphenoid bone have suture?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Maxilla and sphenoid: The maxilla and sphenoid are separate bone units of the skull. The squamousal suture can intersect with the sphenoid wing in some people. But technically there is not a true suture between the two bone units.

Yes: Yes. Sutures are how the cranial and facial bones connect.
