5
Q
From which branchial arch does the mandible grow from and how does the cartilage form in the mandible?
A
The mandible is derived from the first pharyngeal arch, specifically Meckel’s cartilage. Intramembranous ossification occurs lateral to Meckel’s cartilage and starts at the incisive or mental branches of the IAN
6
Q
In regards to the cranial base, the basicranium is the template for…
A
The face. It helps establish the shape and perimeter of the face.
7
Q
How does the calvaria and cranial base grow?
A
As the brain expands, the separate bones of the calvaria are correspondingly displaced in an outward direction
Primary displacement causes tension in the sutural membranes -> depositing new bone on sutural edge and enlarging in circumference
During growth, the bones of the calvaria become flatter
The calvaria is resorptive on the cranial floor and depository on endosteal surface
Cranial base is primarily resorptive on cranial floor (fossa). A/P growth occurs via growth and synchondroses
8
Q
During growth, the bones of the calvaria become ___
A
Flatter
9
Q
The cranial floor is [resorptive/depository], whereas the endocranial surface of the calvaria is predominantly [resorptive/depository].
A
Resorptive
Depository
10
Q
What is the spheno-occipital synchondrosis and its importance?
A
The spheno-occipital syncondrosis provides elongation of the midline of the cranial floor (IE allows the cranial floor to expand with the brain).
It is the principle growth cartilage
11
Q
Define cranial base growth spurt for both boys and girls
A
Rate of growth of the cranial base exceeding that in the preceding annual interval by at least 0.75mm for boys and 0.5mm for girls
12
Q
When do the cranial base growth spurts occur for boys and girls?
A
Female: 11.6yo
Male: 13.2yo
Occurs 1.6 years earlier in females. Mandibular spurt occurs at the same time
13
Q

A
It has no effect
14
Q
What is the importance of the cranial base in growth and how does it grow differently in class 1 and class 2 skeletal patterns?
A
Cranial base is important in growth in that it provides a template for the face. However, it does not grow much differently in class 1 or class 2 skeletal patterns.
15
Q
What are the 3 evolutionary growth theories and the names associated with them? Where did the theories place the emphasis on growth control (which tissues)?
A
Genetic blueprint theory - genes control everything
Nasal septum theory - nasal cartilage (cartilage is pressure tolerant and thought capable of driving the maxilla downward and forward).
Functional matrix - genic and epigenetic tissues. Stimuli from growth and function
16
Q
Discuss the functional matrix theory of growth in the format of what has been added with the most recent research as well as its general premise, genetics and environment.
A
Can be summarized as “form follows function”, but on a much deeper level, it goes beyond soft tissues driving form. Rather, it is an interplay between genetics (which provide the building blocks) and epigenetics (environment) to provide a phenotype.
General premise: not just soft tissues. Periosteal matrix = muscle and bone. Capsular matrix = neurocranial capsule and orofacial capsule
Genetics and environment: genomic and epigenetic factors are both necessary causes. Neither is sufficient alone, as causative factors
17

A
Posterior
Resorptive
Cannot be affected orthodontically
21
Q
Which part of the mandible (besides the alveolar process) can be affected the most with orthodontic treatment?
A
The Condyle. Although orthodontic treatment has a very limited affect on growth of the condyle
22
Q
Growth of the maxillary tuberosity causes ____. How can orthodontics affect growth here?
A
Horizontal lengthening of maxilla (deposition)
Nothing we can do to affect/create more bone (IE cant move teeth into tuberosity and expect to make more bone; the bone has to already be there)
23
Q
Describe the relationship between growth and sutures in the maxilla.
A
Theory is that downward and forward growth of the maxilla is caused by tension placed in the sutures. Tension can be created/increased orthodontically with RPE, Headgear, Facemask
24
Q
Describe the growth that occurs in the alveolar process. How can orthodontics affect this?
A
Vertical drift occurs here
We readily manipulate the alveolus with all sort of appliances including the straight wire appliance
25
How does the lingual tuberosity form during growth?
Equivalent of maxillary tuberosity
Growth straight distal with slight lateral shift
Allows maxillary and mandibular posteriors to stay in contact.
26
What are the major concepts in mandibular growth? Which way does it grow? Limits, borders, and maintenance of homeostasis.
A/P: Remodels and is displaced in a downward and forward fashion. Technically grows up and back to maintain articulation with glenoid fossa. Ramus remodeling.
Transverse: Established/limited by middle cranial fossa. Follows “V” principle.
Vertical: Uprighting of ramus during growth
27
Explain how neuromuscular development is associated with growth and development and its effect on orthodontic treatment.
```
Neuromuscular development follows an antero-posterior gradient (IE lips to posterior tongue)
Infantile swallow (may be maintained and thus need to be addressed) to mature swallow
Maintenance of airway, infant cry, gagging, mastication, neural regulation of jaw positions
Neuromuscular mechanisms and bone growth factors are far more important in nature of occlusal relationships than cuspal height/inclination or condylar guidance. Teeth must change continually to adapt to growth and neuromuscular changes.
```
28
Does malocclusion affect neuromuscular functioning? How? Name some examples.
Malocclusion affects neuromuscular functioning in cases of crossbite
Throckmorton study: pts with unilateral crossbite had longer chewing cycle on crossbite side and path was more deviated. Treatment to correct crossbite helped chewing cycle approach that of controls
29

Brachycephalic (euryprosopic)
Dineric
30
Describe the dolichocephalic face type and how they grow differently. How does this affect our orthodontic treatment?

31
Describe the brachycephalic face type. How do they grow? How does this affect our orthodontic treatment?
Short/wide face, prominent chin, straight/concave profile, eyes bulging
Grow horizontally
Try to open these pts up, but have to fight against strong musculature

Nanda 1988 - dolies eyes grow more vertically, tend to have larger values for LAFH and shorter posterior face heights. Pts have a propensity for anterior open bite
Chung 2003 - growth pattern remains the same (If growing dolie, will continue to grow dolie)
Cangialosi 1984 - LAFH greater than UAFH (agrees with Nanda)
35
Describe the changes that occur in normal-growing brachy individuals. Describe the growth studies associated with them.
More posteriorly inclined middle cranial fossa (acute angle)
Wider and shorter anterior cranial fossa
Flatter mandibular plane/counter-clockwise rotation
Bulbous forehead, eyes appear more bulging

Less
40
Dolichofacial patients are associated with ___ bites. Brachyfacial patients are associated with __ bites.

narrow
| Wider
42
Why do malocclusions occur in each headform, dolichofacial or brachy?
Malocclusions form as a result of inadequate compensatory growth. For example, in a dolichofacial, LAFH tends to be longer than normal. To prevent an anterior openbite, posterior face height needs to keep pace, which does not happen in some cases. For a brachyfacial, the opposite can be seen; UAFH tends to be greater and LAFH does not keep pace resulting in a deep bite situation

51
How does anterior face height change from 5-45yo?
Change early on more significant, get vertical change in N-ANS, N-Me throughout life
52
How does posterior face height change from ages 5-45?
Males>females, Ar-Go, S-Go, growth more significant early on, continuous until mid 20s
53
How does the relationship of AP face height change from 5-45yo?
MPA flattens with age. Small amount of vertical growth occurring in the face (N-ANS, N-Me, Ar-Go, S-Go)
54
What are the conclusions drawn regarding change in arch length from birth to 45yo from the Bishara study?
The greatest incremental increases in Mx and Mn arch length occur during the first two years of life
Arch length continues to increase until 13 years in the Mx arch and 8 years in the Mn arch
Following these ages, significant decreases in arch length occurred until 45 years of age. As a result, the decreases in arch length is translated as an increase in the tooth size-arch length discrepancy, unless interproximal attrition keeps pace with the decrease in arch lengths
55
According to the Bishara paper, how does arch width change from birth to 45yo?
Mx and Mn intercanine width increased between 3-13 years of age in both male and female subjects. After that age, it decreased and continued to do so until age 45 years in both males and females.
Intercanine and intermolar widths significantly increased between 3-13 years of age in both the Mx and Mn arches. After the complete eruption of the permanent dentition, there was a slight decrease in the dental arch widths, more in the intercanine than in the intermolar widths
Mn intercanine width, on average, was established by 8 years of age (after the eruption of the four incisors). After the eruption of the permanent dentition, the clinician should either expect no changes or a minimal decrease in arch widths
56
According to the Moore’s paper, how does intercanine width change with age?
The main growth phase occurred in both sexes during the incisor transition and levels off after full eruption of the lateral incisors. In the Mx, a second increase in arch breadth was noted after the emergence of the permanent canines, but this increase did not occur in the Mn.
The changes in the intercanine distances are explained by growth of the alveolar processes in the incisor region. Additionally, the changes in arch length in the maturing dentition are also a function of mesial migration of the posterior teeth.
57

4-12years
Diastema between upper incisors
Maligned lateral incisors
Large, protrusive upper incisors

63
What is incisor liability?
Permanent incisors are larger than primary incisors
Maxillary - just enough space to accomodate for larger permanent incisors

64
How is incisor liability compensated?
Resolved by widening of canines, facial eruption of maxillary incisors, and leeway space

anterior and middle cranial fossae
maxillary tuberosity
153
which is more variable in its anatomic boundaries the maxilla or mandible?
mandible. because it is more distant from the cranium
154
true or false... the anterior limit of the nasomaxillary complex can be increased by extrinsic forces such as thumb sucking
true. if force is removed, it may rebound to physiologic limit
155
Facial height is correlated with ___ height and posterior facial height is well correlated to ____
statural height
statuary height growth velocity
156
which develops first in neuromuscular development of the face, the muscles of mastication or the muscles of facial expression
muscles of facial expression. However, earlier in development the muscles of facial expression are used to stabilize the mandible when swallowing
157
When is the mature swallow developed?
12-15 months
158
Describe occlusal homeostasis
occlusal stability sum of several forces acting on teeth (sensory feedback from PDL, TMJ, and other parts of masticatory system)
159
If you want to move a maxillary molar distally, the maxilla has to move ____ in order for apposition to occur at the ___
downward and forward (away from cranial base)
maxillary tuberosity
160
Explain how the distal jet or headgear works
It pushes maxillary teeth back into the depository area of the maxillary tuberosity. Pterygoid plates limit the posterior tuberosity extent, therefore the maxilla must grow down and forward for the tuberosity to develop to accommodate the teeth. It does NOT increase the size of the maxilla. a potential negative side-effect of this is palisading molars
161
what is the multiple assurance concept?
the processes and mechanisms that function to carry out growth are virtually always multifactorial. if one component becomes inoperative, other components usually have the capacity to compensate. Malocclusions are a result of adaption not occurring
162
as the surrounding bones enlarge or become displaced in many directions and at different rtes and times, the sutural system of the ___ provides for the slippage of multiple bones along sutural interfaces as they enlarge differentially. This permits displacement of the maxilla inferiorly
lacrimal bone
163
describe the growth of the maxillary tuberosity
lengthens posteriorly by deposition on the posterior-facing maxillary tuberosity
grows laterally by deposits on the buccal sufcae
grows downward by deposition of bone along the alveolar ridge and also on the lateral side.
The endosteal side is resorptive which contributes to maxillary sinus enlargement
164
What thee things happen in regards to the dentoalveolus that influence tooth position?
dentoalveolar drift (down and forward)
eruption
actual tooth movement within the alveolus
165
What are some complications involved with vertical drift of alveolus?
ankylosed teeth
implant placement when growth not complete
failure of eruption resulting in resorption of alveolus
166
The lining surfaces of the bony walls and floor of the nasal chambers are predominantly ___ except for the nasal side of the olfactory fosse
resorptive
this produces a lateral and anterior expansion of the nasal chambers and downward relocation of the palate (the oral side of palate is depository)
167
In regards to growth/development of the nasal airway, the ethmoidal concha move in which direction(s)?
downward and laterally
168
True or false... the inferior inter orbital area increases with increase of width of nasal cavity
true
169
True or false... the width of the nasal bridge greatly increases from childhood to adulthood
false
170
In regards to palatal remodeling, the labial side of the anterior part of the maxillary arch is ___ with bone being [added/removed] to the [inside/outside] of the arch. the arch increases in width and the palate becomes wider following the V principle
resorptive
added
inside
171
A maximum of ___mm of crowding in the mandibular arch can be treated by arch development
4mm
(close to amount of leeway space
172
The [inferior/superior] edge of the zygoma is heavily depository
The malar region and anterior part of the zygoma undergo [anterior/posterior] remodeling movement
inferior
posterior (as it is displaced anteriorly and inferiorly)
The growth changes of the malar process are similar to those of the mandibular coronoid process, its counterpart
173
does the face relocate from under the cranium in a clockwise or counterclockwise rotation?
clockwise
174
The orbit expands and moves in a downward and forward direction. the nasal floor in an adult is much ___ than the orbit in a child
lower
175
In the orbit, deposition takes place on the ___ side of the orbital floor and resorption occurs on the ___ side.

176
During growth of the mandible, the ramus is uprighted by remodeling in what direction relative to the body of the mandible?
upward and forward
177
True or false... with growth, the ramus becoming increasingly wide in the A/P dimension.
false
178
how does the chin form?
uprighting and resorption at infra-incisor area
bone deposition on chin
179
According to study done by ingervall, the condylar inclination [increased/decreased] with age
increased
Due to continuous growth in height of articular eminence
180
Forward rotation of the mandible occurs in what three different ways?
type 1 - forward rotation w/ centers in joints pushing mandible up.
type 2 - forward rotation w/ center at incisal edges
type 3 - in cases of great max or mand oj, center of rotation moves to premolars
