Cranial base: Why is there differential and continuous remodeling?

A

stability for the vascular and nervous elements

34
Q

What is the most stable part of the skull?

A

Cranial base

*anterior cranial base (sella) is used as a reference point

35
Q

What is the sella?

A

Anterior cranial base

36
Q

The sella does not have ____?

A

a field of growth

37
Q

Why is the sella important?

A

able to observe the different positions the bones may adopt using it as a reference

38
Q

What are the type of maxillary growth? (3)

A
  • sutural growth
  • apositional growth
  • “v” pattern of growth
39
Q

What is the hierarchy of maxillary growth?

A

VERTICAL > SAGITAL > LATERAL

40
Q

Maxillary growth: vertical growth? (3)

  • Palatal remodeling
  • Dental eruption
  • Primary displacement
41
Q

Maxillary growth: lateral growth? (2)

A
  • Bone remodeling

* Midline suture

42
Q

Maxillary growth: saggital growth (3)

A
  • Maxillary tuberosity
  • Transverse palatal suture
  • Primary and secondary displacement
43
Q

Maxillary growth: bone remodeling areas? (5)

A
  • Infraorbitary surface: Deposit.
  • Outer surface: Deposit.
  • Anterior surface: Resorption (except in fetal period).
  • Posterior surface: Deposit.
  • Lower relocation of the palate (deposit in the interior face—–`V´principle).
44
Q

Maxillary growth primary displacement? why?

A

Forward and slightly

downwards thanks to the sutural growth

45
Q

Maxillary growth secondary displacement?

A
  • Anterior cranial base: Forward

* Middle and posterior base: Forward and downward

46
Q

Mandibular growth: at birth. what happens?

A

there are two short ramus that are fused together by connective tissue

47
Q

Mandibular growth: What happens during the first year of life?

A

There is an ossification of the simphysis

48
Q

Mandibular growth: endochondral growth?

A

There will be endochondral growth by apposition at the

alveolar border and condile

49
Q

Mandibular growth: Apposition?/resorption?

A

Will be apposition at the posterior surface of the

ramus and resorption of the anterior border.

50
Q

Mandibular growth: Bone remodelling?

A

on all the surfaces that enables the eruption of the molars

51
Q

Mandibular growth: body of the mandible - posterior surface?

A
  • Remodeling of the ramus, making the body longer
  • Posterior and lingual deposit (at the lingual tuberosity)

A

upwards and backwards

65
Q

Primary displacement mandible?

A

Downwards and forward

66
Q

Secondary displacement mandible?

A

will be smaller than the one in
the maxilla as the middle fossa
is anterior to the condylar
process.
