Growth Flashcards
Three stages of development
- Ovum
- Embryonic period
- Foetal period
Ovum
0 - 8 days in utero
-Fertilised ovum- Rapid mitosis- Morula- blastocyst- implantation
Embryonic period
- from 2nd to 12th week IU
- Divided into -
Pre somite period - 8-20,days (Endoderm Ectoderm)
Somite period - 21-31 days IU (Body system/organs)
Post- Somite period 4-10 weeks IU ( external feature/ head growth)
Foetal period
- from 3 - 9 month IU
- Head developed exceeds rest of body
- Re- proportining of body components occur
- Organogenesis/ tissue differentiate not features.
Cranial anatomy
- Two part
- Cranium ( Neurocranium)
- Face ( Vicerocranium)
Changes in shape of head with growth?
- Face gets relatively larger within the head
- The face grows most in height (Vertical), then Depth (Anterior posterior), then Width (transverse)
- V>A>T
- Face continue grow througout life
How do we measure AP skeletal pattern?
- By angle of ANB
- SNA- SNB= ANB
ANB angle changes?
- On average ANB angle gets smaller by 1 degree between age 11-20.
- 5% population - alter ANB 6 degree
Which important factor aetiology of malocclusion?
- Anterior posterior
- On average lower jaw grown little more in AP- direction than upper jaw.
How does face grow?
- Face grow down and forward relatively to cranial base
- Face cont to grow until 6th decade of life and beyond
- Indivisual facial growth is different called Growth rotation
Define Growth rotation
- Indivisual facial bones and part of others bones grow differentially and these referred as Growth Rotations.
Mandibular growth rotation
- Reflection of differential growth in anterior part of the face compared to posterior part of face .
- Growth rotations usually refer to mand.
Maxilla growth rotation
- Maxilla also show growth rotation but lesser extent than mandible .
Define True rotation of mandible
- Rotation of mandibular body relative to the anterior cranial base as its stable structure in mandible.
- 50% of true rotation of lower border
- 50% of true rotation masked by remodelling
- 20% rotation - more efficient counter remodelling process
Angular remodelling of lower border
- angular change of mandibular line when mand is registered on stable mandibular structure.
Centre of rotation - Anterior or forward rotation and percentage ?
- 80%
-Condylar head - Lower premolars
- lower incisal edge
- distal occluding molars
Mandible forward / anterior rotation cause
- 80% of people
- Increase Over bite
- Condylar head
- Lower premolars
- Lower incisal edges
- Distal occluding molar
Posterior or backward rotation sites and cause? Percentage ?
- Condyler head
- Distal occluding molars
Cause - AOB and decrease OB
- 20 %
Types of Bone growth in jaws
-All are formed through Intramembraneous ossification ( bone forms in membranes).
- All begin ossification - Endochondral.
Calcification of bones.
- Endochondral - Replacement of cartilage - 3rd month IU
- Intra- membranous - Periosteal remodelling
at suture and surface. All other cranial and facial growth - 6-4 weeks IU appart from cranial base
