Growth and Facial development Flashcards
Replacement of the cartilage matrix by an osseous matrix
Indirect growth
- Long bones growth pattern
* Involves growth centers or growth plates
Indirect growth
- Where the cartilage matrix is replaced by immature bone
* Genetically programmed
Growth plates
- A bony structure will be displaced during growth.
- In order to preserve the shape, parts of the bone will receive new bone and parts will resorb.
- Placing a V on a growing osseous structure will determine the direction of growth
- The V is placed on the growth surface. Apposition surfaces are in the center of the V while resorbing surfaces are located outside the V
V principle of Enlow
What is the only endochondral bone growth in the face?
Cranial base
______: allows volume increase and displacement in space while maintaining the proper shape
Drift principle
•The bone formation occurs directly in a vascularized mesenchyme.
Intramembranous ossification
New bone forms on the _____ aspect of the bone while bone is resorbed on the _____ aspect
external; internal
Intramembranous growth will result in _____ of other structures in space
displacement
- Bone apposition at the level of the sutures, resulting in an increase of the size of the bone.
- Cranial growth and maxillary growth
- Not mandibular growth
Sutural growth
- Until the age of 7: mainly sutural growth
- Once the eye and brain growth completed:–Bony apposition in the tuberosity area and dentoalveolar growth (displacement)
- At this stage, the maxilla is moving away from cranial base
Maxillary growth
Sutures stop growing at ____ years of age
8 yrs
Maxillary growth grow mainly via what 2 forms of growth?
Appositional and sutural growth
T/F: The anterior aspect of the maxilla is actually resorptive
True
T/F: Once sutural growth completed (around 10 years old), antero-posterior growth is the result of growth in the tuberosity region
True
