5 - Mandibular Growth Flashcards
You get mandibular processes from which branchial arch?
1st arch
What kind of cartilage is Meckel’s cartilage?
Hyaline cartilage
In what arch is meckel’s/hyaline cartilage formed?
1st arch
The mandibular alveolar process shows significant _______ development
Vertical
(T/F) The mandibular alveolar process is NOT tied to dental eruption
False
Where does the mandibular alveolar process take place?
Above mandibular canal
Mandibular growth has what 3 kinds of growths?
- Cartilage growth
- Alveolar growth
- Bone apposition and resorption
How is mandibular growth remodeled?
By bone apposition and resorption
describe the mandibular alveolar process
tied to tooth eruption
shows significant vertical development
above the mandibular canal
Permanent teeth do what to primary teeth after eruption?
Resorb primary teeth
How was the mandibular growth pattern confirmed?
Implant technique
Growth in length of the mandible essentially occurs at the
Condyles
describe the mandibular growth pattern (Bjork)
confirmed by implant techinque, vertical growth by condyles
Is there a strong or weak correlation of the size of the mandible at 12 and at the final size?
Weak correlation because there is too much variation
Elongation of the mandible occurs how?
Apposition and displacement
