Q

Types of Bone growth in jaws

A

-All are formed through Intramembraneous ossification ( bone forms in membranes).
- All begin ossification - Endochondral.

Q

Calcification of bones.

A
  • 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

Q

Endochondral which part ?

A
  • Cranial base synchindrosses
  • Mandibular condyle
22
Q

Intra membranous calcification occur

A
  • All other cranial and facial growth apart from cranial base
23
Q

1 Degree Lip / palate fusion

A
  • 6 week IU
24
Q

2nd degree palate

A
  • 7-8 week IU
25
Q

Where does craniofacial growth occur?

A

Synchindorses - Cranial base

26
Q

What is growth site?

A
  • Where growth occurs
27
Q

Growth centre
4 sites?

A
  • Location at which independent, genetically controlled growth occurs. Growth centre can be growth site but growth site cannot be growth centre.
  • spheno - occipital synchondrosis - active until puberty
    -Fronto- ethmoidal syncchondrosis- active Until puberty
    -Spheno - ethmoidal synchondrosis - active until age of 7yrs
  • Nasal septum cartilage
28
Q

Cranial Vault

A
  • Intramembranous ossification
  • 8th week IU
  • Functional matrix expands brain
29
Q

Cranial Base

A
  • Endochondral ossification / cartilaginous synchondroses.
  • AP and vertical relationship of jaws
30
Q

Naso maxillary complex

A
  • Intra membranous ossification expect for nasal cartilage
  • 7week IU
31
Q

Mandible

A
  • Intramembranous ossification but cartilage on condyler cartilage
    -6week IU
  • Later growth and remodelling due to periosteal activity.
32
Q

Growth patterns and post natal Growth?

A

-Neural
- Somatic
- Genital
- Lymphoid

33
Q

Examples of bone growth.

A

-Surface remodelling - Mandible
-Cartilaginous - Mandibular condyle
- Synchonddosis- Cranial base

34
Q

Periosteal activity

A
  • Formation of new bone due to injury or other stimuli Periosteum surronding bone
  • Periosteal/ sutural can be influenced by pressure and tension e.g orthdontic forces
35
Q

Control of growth

A
  • Mainly genetic
  • Partly environmental
36
Q

Possible local environmental factors affecting growth? May be?

A
  • Nutrition- Softer food to gradually smaller jaws over the centuries.
  • Mouth breathing - Small effect on jaw
  • Bottle feeding - no effect
  • Jaw/ tongue/ lip exercises/ cranial massage- no evidence
37
Q

Pubertal growth spurt average and cessation of growth

A

Girl - 12 yrs +/-last 2 years
Boys- 14 yrs +/- last 2 year14 yrs old

38
Q

Can we predict growth / change in skeletal pattern ?

A
  • No not possible to predict Indivisual growth , we can only predict average age of growth spurt
39
Q

Predict growth or changes in skeletal pattern ?

A
  • Chronological age
  • Dental age
  • Secondary - sexual characteristics
  • Standing height
  • Growth velocity
  • Cervical vertebral maturation
  • Hand wrist radiographs
40
Q

Can orthodontic treatment influence growth?

A
  • A little
  • short term yes
  • long term no
41
Q

Example of orthodontic growth change?

A
  • Functional appliances
42
Q

How functional appliance helps in growth?

A
  • Restrain maxillary growth (short term)
  • Enhanced mandible growth 1-2 mm
43
Q

Can orthodontic treatment influence growth?

A
  • A little
  • Head gear and functional can both slightly restrain forward growth of maxilla
  • Functionals can slightly increase growth of mandible 1-2mm
  • Nothing can restrain forward growth of mandible
    -Reverse headgear can slightly increase anterior maxillary growth.
44
Q

Clinical significance of growth in orthodontic

A
  • The unpredictable variation in change of skeletal pattern can have large effect on treatment
  • Remember that success or failure may be due to unusual growth not appliances
  • Excessive vertical growth can cause anterior open bites to develop.
  • Treat class 3 cases a little later- Remember average trend to more class 3
  • Treat class 2 cases a little earlier- Growth helps to reduce overbite - Bite planes work poorly in adults.
  • Growth is essential for spontaneous alignment and space closure following extractions
  • Remember the ages when growth -on average- and stops
  • Orthognathic surgery and implant should be after growth stops.
45
Q

Clinical significance of growth rotations

A
  • Not much
  • Incisor crowding may result from the dental compensations to growth rotation
  • Growth rotation is academically very interesting as insight to mechanism of growth in the face.
46
Q

Influence of growth on treatment

A
  • OB reduction
  • Distal movement of posterior teeth
  • space closure
  • occlusal settling
  • Functional appliance treatment
  • Use of RME.
47
Q

Relevance of growth to orthodontic treatment

A
  • Orthdontic treatment is quicker if growth is present
  • Orthodontic tx has very little influence over SK pattern, using orthodontic alone there are more options available for treating SK class 2 cases than SK class 3. I.e HG is less frequently used on CL 3 cases and chin cups produce only temporary correction of sk discrepancy.
48
Q

Clinical relevance of growth rotation

A
  • OB deepens- with anterior growth rotation and it is difficult to decrease so consider a bite plane to prevent the OB deepening.
  • Posterior rotation- Pts have increased anterior vertical face height and long face appearance possibly with high MMP angle.
49
Q

Temporary posterior rotation caused by?

A
  • Inter maxillary elastics
  • Anchorage bends
  • anterior bite plane
50
Q

How much percentage of space closure is due to jaw rotation ?

A

50%
