Q

Why do we assess growth?

A
  1. Determine optimum time for treatment (growth modification and surgery)
  2. Determine amount of growth left
  3. Determine type of growth

Q

What did scammon do?

A

Illustrated 4 types of growth changes in organs in relation to adult weight as 100%

  1. Somatic (general) type of growth
  2. Neural growth
  3. Lymphatic growth
  4. Genital growth
20
Q

What is the shape of the somatic (general) curve

21
Q

How many grow spurts does a human being have?

A

2 growth spurts

22
Q

When do the growth spurts occur in general growth?

A

0-4 years

At puberty:
Girls -> 11-13
Boys -> 13-15

23
Q

When does growth stop?

A

Decelerates and stop at 19-20 years

24
Q

Which structures does the neural growth include?

A

Brain and its parts:
Dura
Spinal chord
Optic apparatus

25
Q

Describe the growth and development of neural structures

A

Growth: rapidly in prenatal and early postnatal periods and reach 90% at the age of 6.

Development: takes long time to develop

26
Q

When do the growth spurts occur in neural growth?

A

There is no evidence of growth spurts in neural growth

27
Q

What makes the lymphatic growth special?

A

It has positive and negative growth

28
Q

What are the lymphatic structures?

A

Thymus and lymph nodes

29
Q

Describe the lymphatic growth curve

A

Grows rapidly
Enlarge at 11-12 years
Then declines

30
Q

Describe the curve of genital growth

A

Primary and secondary sex organs remain small until puberty

Then grow rapidly to their final adult size

31
Q

What is the growth variability curve?

A

Absolute curve for plotting growth

32
Q

What are the variability charts used for?

A

To determine whether the child’s growth is NORMAL or abnormal

To follow a child over a period of time to evaluate whether there is UNEXPECTED change in growth or not.

33
Q

Where does variability arise from?

A
  1. Normal variation
  2. Environmental variation (ex: severe illness)
  3. Time effects
34
Q

Major concept in growth and development is….

35
Q

Why is knowledge of facial growth, velocity & percentage remaining is important?

A

For effective growth modification interventions

36
Q

Why is understanding % of growth remaining after completion of ortho treatment is important?

A

To predict post treatment rebound

37
Q

According to scammon, maxilla and mandible follow the…. Type of growth curve

  1. Somatic (general)
  2. Genital
  3. Neural
  4. Lymphatic
A
  1. Somatic (general)
38
Q

In a growing skull ….. & …… growths are seen

A

Somatic and neural

39
Q

A child who falls out of ….% of population should receive a special study
