Q

what is the connection between interstitial growth and appositional?

23
Q

what are examples of endochondral growth?

A

chondrocranium: ethmoid, sphenoid and basiocciptalbones

epiphyseal plate cartilage of long bones

24
Q

what is intramembranous bone formation?

A

secretion of bone matrix within and between connective tissue membranes
no intermediate formation of cartilage*
it does NOT replace cartilage

25
Q

what are the examples of intramembranous growth?

A

desmocranium:cranial vault, maxilla and mandible

26
Q

how is the mandible formed?

A

through intramembranous bone formation just lateral to meckel’s cartilage

27
Q

how does the condylar cartilage of mandible form?

A

does not arise from meckel’s cartilage
develops from an independent secondary cartilage
fuses with mandibular ramus

28
Q

what is surface remodeling?

A

change in shape of bones
result of bone removal (Resorption) in one area and bone addition (apposition) in another
occurs at the surfaces of growing endochondral and intramembranous bones

29
Q

what is internal remodeling?

A

vascular channels within bones bring osteocytes to the area
allows the bone to adapt to mechanical stress
allows for exchange of calcium and phosphate
internal remodeling does not make bone grow or change its shape

30
Q

growth of the cranial vault

A

flat bones formed by intramembranous formation from ossification centers
no cartilaginous precursors
periosteal activity results in bone remodeling both at sutures (primary) and at inner and outer surfaces

31
Q

what are cranial sutures and fontanelles lined by?

A

periosteum

32
Q

growth of the cranial base

A

bones of the base of skull formed by endochondral ossification
formed initially in cartilage then transformed to bone
ossification centers result in ETHMOID SPHENOID BASIOCCIPITAL bones

33
Q

what are the synchondroses of cranial base?

A

cartilaginous joints between bones of cranial base

immovable joints

34
Q

what are the most important synchondrosis?

A

spheno-ethmoidal
inter-sphenoidal
spheno-occipital

35
Q

what kind of growth occur at synchondroses?

A

endochondral growth occur within synchondroses to lengthen the area of cranial base
bone surface remodeling also occurs in the cranial base (sphenoid sinus)

36
Q

what are the features of synchondrosis vs suture?

A

both junction between adjacent bones
cartilage vs. connective tissue
endochondral ossification vs direct ossification (apposition of bone)
active growth (primary) vs. reactive growth (secondary)

37
Q

growth of the nasomaxillary complex

A

formed entirely by intramembranous ossification
no cartilaginous precursor
growth occurs by apposition and surface remodeling

38
Q

translation of maxilla

A

maxilla is translated downward and forward- away from cranial base
apposition of bone occurs at circum maxillary sutures which elongates the maxilla

39
Q

surface remodeling of maxilla

A

bone in anterior surface of maxilla is resorbed
apposition of bone occurs at maxillary tuberosity(permanent molars later)
bone is resorbed in the floor of the nose
apposition of bone occurs at palate and alveolar process
as a result palate moves mostly downward and widens transversely

40
Q

growth of the mandible

A

first formed via intramembranous growth
endochondral growth occurs at the cartilage that covers the mandibular condyle
all other areas grow by surface apposition and remodeling

alveolar bone area- apposition (teeth erupt)
anterior ramus and anterior surface of condyle- removal of bone
posterior surface of ramus and coronoid process- bone apposition

41
Q

translation of mandible

A

mandible is translated downward and forward- away from cranial base
principal sites of growth:posterior surface of ramus and condylar and coronoid processes

42
Q

surface remodling of mandible

A

body of mandible grows longer
ramus of mandible grows higher
more room in the body of mandible for molars to erupt

43
Q

Theories of growth control

A

suture theory
cartilage theory
functional matrix theory
combo

44
Q

what is site of growth vs center of growth

A

site of growth- location at which growth occurs

center of growth- location at which independent growth occurs

45
Q

principles of suture theory

A

all tissues that form bone have intrinsic potential to do so
growth centers are locations of genetically controlled growth- independent from the environement
includes sutures ,periosteum ,synchondroses ,and mandibular condyle as growth centers

46
Q

does experimental evidence support suture theory

A

no
transplantation studies- for growth centers- doesn’t matter where you transplant it- should get bone growth- NOT TRUE
mechanical pull at sutures-child hydrocephaly- suture adjust to the increased cranial pressure (aka not independent from environment)

47
Q

what is the conclusion of suture theory

A

sutures and periosteum are growth sites- merely a location of growth
sutures react rather than act independently

48
Q

principles of cartilage theory

A

all cartilage are growth centers
cartilage in mandibular condyle controls growth of mandible
cartilage in nasal septum controls growth of maxilla
cartilage in the synchondroses controls growth of cranial base

49
Q

does experimental evidence support cartilage theory?

A

partially
transplanted cartilage from synchondroses and nasal septum is capable of growth
transplanted cartilage from mandibular condyle shows significantly less growth
synchondroses and nasal septum act as growth centers, but mandibular condyles does not
after fracture of mandibular condyle, there is some reduction in mandibular growth- however the original condyle is displaced and resorbed- new condyle generated at fracture site

50
Q

conclusions of cartilage theory

A

cranial base synchondroses and nasal septum act as independent growth centers- pushing maxilla forward
mandibular condyle is merely a growth site

51
Q

functional matrix theory principles

A

heredity and genes play no role in growth of craniofacial skeleton
growth of the face occurs in response to functional needs, mediated by soft tissues in which the bones are embedded
all tissues that form bone are merely growth sites
ex. microcephaly and hydrocephaly

52
Q

does experimental evidence support fucntional matrix?

A

partial
not clear how functional needs are transmitted to the tissues around mouth and nose
recent advances in molecular biology and genetics show that genes are involved in the hereditary and mechanical modulation of craniofacial growth and development

53
Q

combination of theory for cranium?

A

response to growth of brain (sutures and periosteum =growth sites)

54
Q

combination of theory for cranial base?

A

result of endochondral growth at synchondroses (growth centers)

55
Q

combination of theory for maxilla?

A

primarily result of apposition and remodeling as the bone is translated by soft tissues (sutures+periosteum=growth sites)
may result from endochondral growth at nasal septum cartilage (growth center)

56
Q

combination of theory for mandible?

A

endochondral growth at condyle and surface remodeling as bone is translated by soft tissues (condyle +periosteum=growth sites)
