27
Fusion
Tissues approach, regress and become one.
Cells multiply faster at the tips of structures and grow towards each other.
The places that touch, regress to more primitive states that allow cells to pass back and forth which causes fusion
28
Merging
Filling in without regression.
Sections of tissue begin to grow faster than others, form buds and grown into other structures (arms and legs)
Less complex than fusion
29
Facial structures of 6 week embryo
Eyes are at 160 degrees, palate just begins forming,
Stomodeum, primitive mouth
Branchial arches, nasal pits, frontonasal process, nasolateral process, nasomedial prominence, maxillary prominences
30
Primary palate formation
Begins formation at 6 weeks and finishes at 7 weeks
31
Secondary palate formation
Begins formation at 8 weeks, finishes at 10-12 weeks
32
C/C 1 stage and 2 stage closure of palate.
One stage done all at once between 10 and 24 months
Two stage: 1st stage is to close velum and leave hard palate open. 2 stage closes hard palate.
To avoid detrimental effects, 2nd stage needs to take place when 1 stage would have been completed.
33

I: Moves undersized maxilla forward.
II: Moves maxilla plus bridge of nose.
III: Moves maxilla, bridge of nose, orbits and cheekbones, rare

2+ tonsils are even will pillars
3+ tonsils protrude past pillars
4+ tonsils touch
36

37
Risk factors: hypernasality and adenoidectomy
After surgery is performed to remove adenoids the patient may experience hypernasality as well as nasal regurgitation due to lack of velar closure. May be temporary of permanent VPD
38
Types of Malocclusion
Class I: normal with other dental anomalies
Class II: mandibular molar is even with or behind maxillary molar.
Class III: Mandibular molar is more than 1/2 tooth ahead of maxillary molar.
Normal: mandibular first molar is 1/2 tooth ahead of maxillary molar
39
Effect of dentition on articulation
Obligatory errors: distortion caused by structural abnormality
Compensatory errors: distortion or substitution error due to a modification in placement of tongue or lip position to compensate for the structural abnormality.
40
CLP and hearing acuity
High incidence of middle ear disease with CLP leads to increased HL
Incidence of CL is higher but improves with age.
41
Indications for adenoidectomy
