what is the description of a blastocyst

A

26
Q

what is intramembranous bone formation

A

no bone is there before and appears as little speckles of bones that come together and form sutures
bone deposited directly to mesenchymal

27
Q

by which means does the maxilla and most of the mandible develop

A

intramembranous ossification

28
Q

what is endochondral ossification

A

hyaline cartilage exists already which bones replace and leave a little bit of cartilage behind - this is bones that require growth

29
Q

by which means do bones at the base of skill develop

A

endochondral ossification

30
Q

why is it important that there is cartilage left at the nasal septum for growth

A

so the maxilla can grow

31
Q

when does the anterior fontanelle close

A

2 years of age

32
Q

when does the posterior fontanelle close

A

1 year

33
Q

when does growth occur at sutures

A

due to increase intra-cranial pressure

34
Q

when does skull growth continue to

A

7 years

35
Q

how does the mandible develop

A

it arises as different units
condylar unit
angular unit
coronoid unit
alveolar unit

36
Q

what does the condylar unit form by

A

secondary (condylar) cartilage

37
Q

what is primary cartilage

A

meckles cartilage and ricards cartilage

38
Q

what does the angular unit form by

A

in response to medial pterygoid and masseter muscles

39
Q

what does the coronoid unit for by

A

presence of the temporalis muscle

40
Q

what does the alveolar unit form by

A

if there are teeth developing

41
Q

when is there only presence of the body of the mandible

A

if there is presence of the inferior dental nerve

42
Q

what are the three main sites of cartilage in the mandible

A

condylar cartilage
coronoid cartilage
symphyseal

43
Q

when does growth at the condylar cartilage continue until

A

20 years of age

44
Q

what is a primary abnormality

A

defect in structure of an organ that can be traced back to an anomaly in its development

45
Q

what is secondary abnormality

A

interruption of the normal developmental of an organ that can be traced back to other influences

46
Q

what is a deformity

A

mechanical anomaly that occur due to effects on structures (tight band or cord around baby)

47
Q

what is agenesis

A

complete failure of organ during development

48
Q

what is sequence

A

single factor results in numerous secondary effects

49
Q

what is Pierre-Robin syndrome

A

baby has very small mandible - as a result tongue has to sit on the palate - as a result palatal shelves dont come together - cleft palate

50
Q

what is a syndrome

A

group of anomalies that can be traced to a common origin

51
Q

what is foetal alcohol syndrome

A

high maternal intake of alcohol
eyeslits are short
small head (microcephaly)
low nasal bridge
indistinct philtrum
small jaw and thin upper lip

52
Q

what is hemifacial microsomia

A

multifactorial
3D progressive asymmetry
progressively gets worse
cardiac and renal problems

53
Q

what is the treatment for hemifacial microsomia

A

taking a rib and grafting it to the maxilla

54
Q

what is tracher collins syndrome

A

deformity of 1st and 2nd branchial arches
eye slant
coloboma (dip) in the latter third of the eye
missing zygomatic arches

55
Q

when does the lip fuse

A

day 28-38

56
Q

when do the palatal shelves elevate

A

day 42-55

57
Q

where does the lip start from

A

incisive foramen forwards

58
Q

where does the palate start

A

incisive foramen backwards

59
Q

what are dental implications of cleft lip/ palate

A

impacted teeth
crowding
hypodontia
supernumeraries
hypoplastic teeth
caries

60
Q

what is achondroplasia

A

autosomal dominant condition
defects in long bones = short limbs - dwarfism
defects in the base of the skull

61
Q

what is Crouzon’s syndrome

A

autosomal dominant condition
premature closure of cranial sutures
shallow orbits = eyes pop out
eyes far apart
class III malocclusion since mandible grows okay but maxilla doesnt

62
Q

what is distraction osteogenesis

A

breaking the skull bones and pulling them apart slowly
usually used to treat Crouzon’s syndorme

63
Q

what is Apert’s syndrome

A

autosomal dominant
all sutures close early
no skin between fingers and toes
