Introduction
Measurements in the
ceph show the results of
Growth of something,
somewhere, at some
time,
But of what? Why? And
in response to which
Biologic stimuli or
energies?

Condylar cartilage


Serves as a growth site



Brings changes in the mandibular position and form

Growth increases during puberty
 Peak 12 – 14 years
 Ceases by 20 years



Neonatal mandible
Ascending Ramus low and wide
 Large Coronoid process
 Body – open shell containing tooth buds and partially
formed deciduous teeth
 Mandibular canal that runs low in the body

 Anatomy
 Theories

of growth

Types Of Ossification
Mandible is the second bone in the body to be ossified
 There are two types of ossification :




INTRAMEMBRANOUS



ENDOCHONDRAL


Intramembranous
Ectomesenchyme

Epithelium

Osteogenic membrane

Osteoblast
Centre of ossification
Osteoid matrix


Intramembranous


Endochondral
Mesenchymal cells

osteoblast

Cart. Matrix of glycoproteins

Cart. template
Blood vessels

Osteoid matrix

mineralized

Endochondral


Clinical significance
In postnatal life distinction b/w two is of no
significance: # of intramembranous bone
 Surface remodelling of endochondral bone
 Prenatal life – congenital defects
 Achondroplasia – Endochondral bone
 Cleidocranial dysostosis – Intramembranous bone
 Osteogenesis Imperfecta – both type



Parts Of Mandible Derived From
1. INTRAMEMBRANOUS OSSIFICATION
i) Whole body of mandible except the anterior part

ii) Ramus of mandible as far as mandibular foramen
2 . ENDOCHONDRAL OSSIFICATION
i)

Anterior portion of the mandible (symphysis)

ii) Part of ramus above the mandibular foramen
iii) Coronoid process
iv) Condylar process


Mechanisms Of Bone Growth
Growth Of The Mandible Primarily Involve

1. Bone remodelling
Process Of Bone Deposition And Resorption

2. Cortical drift
Combination of bone deposition and resorption resulting in growth movement
towards deposition surface

3. Displacement
Movement of whole bone as a unit

I) Primary displacement
II) Secondary displacement

Anatomy


Theories Of Growth


Other Theories



ENLOW’S “V”
PRINCIPLE



The growth and
enlargement of bones
occur towards wide end
of ‘v’ due to differential
deposition and
resorption

Enlow’s Counterpart Principle
 ‘The growth

of any given facial or cranial part relates
specifically to other structural and geometric “counter” parts
in the face and cranium’.
 Eg. Maxillary arch is counter part of mandibular arch.

Post Natal Growth And
Development
GROWTH TIMING
Growth of width of mandible is completed first, then growth in
length and finally growth in height


Development
WIDTH OF MANDIBLE


Growth in width is completed before adolescent growth
spurt



Intercanine width does increase after 12 years



Both molar and bicondylar width shows small increase until
growth in length ends


Development
GROWTH IN LENGTH
Growth in length continues through puberty
 Girls—14-15 years
 boys---18-19 years



Development


Main sites of post natal growth in the Mandible



Condylar cartilage



Posterior border of the Rami



Alveolar ridges

Is the Condylar cartilage the principle
force that produces the displacement of
the mandible ?

For many years considered primary growth center
FMH - Condyle absent yet mandible positioned normally
Considered secondary cartilage -no intrinsic growth
potential

Petrovic et al - Role of hormones
Experiments involving transplantation of the condyle
Johnston et al - Detached condyle from the body of
mandible in guinea pigs
Injection of papain - Inhibition of chondrogenesis
Koski et al - Periosteal tension in condylar neck-lateral
pterygoid- controls condylar growth




Condylar cartilage and functioning muscles translate the
mandible and in the absence of one the other does best to
compensate



Integrity of periosteum is important



When environment is changed compensatory contributions
are enhanced

Current Concept
Condylar cartilage does have a measure of intrinsic genetic
programming
 But extra condylar factors are needed to sustain this activity


Physiologic
inductors

Intrinsic and extrinsic
biomechanical forces

ENLOW :
Increase pressure – growth inhibition
Decrease pressure – stimulates growth

based mainly on animal
experiments

Ramus


Moves progressively posterior
by:Deposition
POSTERIOR PART



Resorption



ANTERIOR PART


Ramus
Superior part of ramus
below sigmoid notch

Lingual -Deposition
Buccal - Resorption

Lower part of ramus
below the Coronoid
process

Buccal - Deposition
Lingual - Resorption


Ramus


Coronoid process
Posterior

Lingual surface

Medially
Follows ‘v’ principle


Coronoid process
‘’V’ PRINCIPLE OF ENLOW


Coronoid process


Medial



Increases
vertical length

Deposition on lingual side

Posterior Growth

Resorption - buccal surface


Body of mandible


The increase in width of the mandible occurs primarily due
to resorption on the inside and deposition on the outside



Increase in length occurs due to drift of the ramus
posteriorly



Increase in height occurs due to eruption of the teeth


Ramus corpus junction



Inferior Border of junction
- resorption



Forms Antegonial notch


Antegonial notch
Size depends upon ramus – corpus angle


Lingual Tuberosity


Grows posterior and
medial by deposition

Resorptive field belowLingual fossa




Alveolar Process
Adds to the height and
thickness of the
mandibular body
 Teeth absent fails to
develop
 Teeth extracted resorbs



Alveolar Process


Maintain occlusal relationship during differential mandibular
& midfacial growth– buffer zones



Maintains vertical height



Adaptive remodeling makes orthodontic tooth movement
possible


Alveolar Process
Lingual movement of anteriors
Lingual movement of anteriors


Mental Protuberance



Formed by mental ossicles from accessory
cartilage and ventral end of Meckel’s
cartilage



Poorly developed in infants


Mental Protuberance


Forms by osseous
deposition during
childhood



Prominence is accentuated
by bone resorption above
it


Mental Protuberance



Reversal between 2
growth fields



Concave  convex



Reversal line could be
High or low

Chin


Protrusive chin is unique human trait



More prominent in male



Less prominent in female

Under dev. Of chin -- microgenia
