This document discusses principles of craniofacial growth and development. It defines key terms like growth, development, pattern, and mechanisms of bone growth. Growth occurs through deposition and resorption on bone surfaces. The craniofacial skeleton grows through mechanisms like cortical drift, displacement, and V-shaped bone expansion. Several theories try to explain craniofacial growth, including the genetic, sutural, cartilaginous, and functional matrix hypotheses. Overall growth follows cephalocaudal and Scammon's gradients, while the maxilla and mandible grow through posterior expansion and anterior displacement.

Growth and Development of Craniofacial Complex IIAU Dent
This document summarizes a lecture on craniofacial growth and development. It discusses how the cranium and face grow, defining growth and development. Growth occurs through intramembranous bone formation or endochondral bone formation at sutures and synchondroses. Factors like bone growth, soft tissues, occlusion forces, and skeletal patterns influence occlusion development. The cranial vault completes growth by age 8 while the cranial base continues growing into the 20s. The face grows rapidly in depth initially and its growth is mostly complete by ages 16-18 for the upper face and 20-25 for the mandible.

The document discusses the evolution of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) in vertebrates from early jaw joints to the modern mammalian TMJ. It traces how the jaw joint evolved from a simple hinge to allow for specialized functions like tearing, grinding, and cutting foods. The development of the dentary bone forming a joint with the skull created the mammalian TMJ. Variations in the TMJ adapted it for different feeding mechanisms in herbivores, carnivores, and rodents. Prenatal and postnatal growth of the condyle and temporal tubercle shape the modern human TMJ.

Relationship between orofacial muscles function and malocclusionRuhi Kashmiri
This document discusses the relationship between muscle function and malocclusion. It states that malocclusion results from an imbalance or disequilibrium between genetic, developmental, functional and environmental factors. Certain muscle functions like tongue thrust swallowing, mouth breathing, thumb sucking, lip biting and neurological conditions can directly cause malocclusions or the muscles change in a compensatory way. Different malocclusions like class II div 1 and 2, and class III have characteristic muscle pathologies. Treatment involves addressing the underlying muscle imbalances through myofunctional therapy or orthodontics to restore the dental equilibrium.

The document discusses growth and development of the maxilla from prenatal to postnatal periods. It describes how the maxilla develops from maxillary processes in the embryo. During prenatal growth, the maxilla is displaced downward and forward as the cranial base grows. Postnatally, the maxilla grows through bone deposition, remodeling at sutures, and expansion of the maxillary sinus. The primary palate develops early from the median palatine process, while the secondary palate forms from the palatine shelves fusing in the midline.

An introduction to facial growth and development.pdfNay Aung
Facial growth and development is a complex process that occurs through late teens and involves four main processes: endochondral ossification, intramembranous ossification, surface remodeling, and primary and secondary displacement. An understanding of normal facial growth is important for orthodontists to understand malocclusions, recognize abnormal growth, and determine treatment timing and factors of stability. Facial growth is dependent on genetic potential and environmental influences, with current thinking supporting that genetic control resides in cranial base synchondroses and nasal cartilage while soft tissues provide adaptive responses. While growth cannot be perfectly predicted, general patterns and secondary sexual characteristics can help determine pubertal growth spurts for treatment timing.
1. The document discusses several theories of craniofacial growth including the bone remodeling theory, genetic theory, sutural dominance theory, cartilaginous theory, and functional matrix hypothesis.
2. The functional matrix hypothesis proposed by Melvin Moss claims that craniofacial growth is mediated by functional demands and neurotrophic control, rather than by structures like periosteum or cartilage. It involves microskeletal and macroskeletal growth units associated with functional matrices.
3. The document also discusses theories related to specific structures, such as nasal septal cartilage theory proposed by James Scott, which claims the nasal septum is the primary driver of maxillary growth. However, many theories of craniofacial growth
The document discusses cephalocaudal gradient of growth, which refers to the head-to-toe axis of increased growth during development. It begins in the head region and progresses down the body. Physical control follows the order of head, arms, then legs. The proportions of the head and face also change with growth. Terminologies covered include growth, development, endochondral ossification, intramembranous ossification, growth sites, growth centers, remodeling, growth movements, and displacements. Growth involves increasing size and complexity, while development is the progress towards maturity.

Growth Theories and It’s Applications.pptxParkhiBhatngar
The document provides an overview of various growth theories and concepts related to craniofacial growth. It discusses early genomic and genetic theories from the 1920s-1940s that viewed growth as under intrinsic genetic control. From the 1940s-1960s, functional theories emerged emphasizing environmental influences. Melvin Moss' functional matrix hypothesis in the 1960s proposed that craniofacial skeletal growth is epigenetically regulated in response to surrounding tissues. The document also reviews several theories about specific growth sites, such as sutures, cartilage, and neurotrophism, and discusses evidence for and against each.
Growth & development of maxilla and mandiblePiyush Verma
The document summarizes the growth and development of the maxilla and mandible. It discusses the prenatal growth of the maxilla, including how the maxillary process develops from the first branchial arch and fuses with other structures to form the primitive palate. It also describes the development of the primary and secondary palate, with the palatal shelves growing horizontally to fuse and form the completed palate. The prenatal growth of the mandible is also discussed briefly.
This document discusses several theories of craniofacial growth and development:
- Sicher's sutural dominance theory proposed that sutures between bones force them apart, allowing appositional growth along bone borders. However, growth still occurs without sutures.
- Scott's nasal septum/cartilaginous theory argued that the nasal septum cartilage controls maxillary growth, while synchondroses elongate the cranial base and condylar cartilage controls mandibular growth.
- Moss' functional matrix theory proposed that genetic coding is outside bones, which grow in response to intrinsic growth of surrounding tissues like muscles.
- Petrovic's servosystem theory viewed craniofacial
Growth and development are complex processes involving both quantitative and qualitative changes over time from conception to maturity. Several theories attempt to explain the factors influencing craniofacial growth, including genetic determinism, functional matrix theory, and neurotrophic influences. Prenatal growth involves defined periods of ovum, embryo, and fetus development, characterized by formation of germ layers and organogenesis. Postnatal growth includes bone growth through intramembranous or endochondral ossification, influenced by sutural growth, remodeling, and displacement of facial structures.
The document summarizes growth of the maxilla from an embryonic and developmental perspective. It discusses:
1. The maxilla develops from the maxillary prominence in the embryo and has primary and secondary ossification centers.
2. Postnatal growth occurs through displacement as surrounding tissues grow, sutural growth at interfaces with other bones, and surface remodeling to maintain proportions.
3. Displacement is driven by growth of surrounding tissues like muscles and connective tissue pulling the maxilla forward and down through fiber attachments. Sutures like the midpalatal contribute to overall expansion.
This document provides an overview of principles of facial growth and development, with a focus on mandibular growth rotations. It discusses key concepts such as the amount and timing of growth, assessment of growth, growth of the mandible, and mechanisms of mandibular rotation. Several studies on mandibular growth rotations are summarized, including the seminal work by Bjork in the 1950s using metal implants to track growth sites and directions. Bjork identified seven structural signs that can indicate the direction of mandibular growth. The document also briefly discusses the work of Bjork and Skieller, Proffit, Schudy, and Isaacson related to mandibular growth rotations.

The document summarizes growth patterns in different areas of the skull. It discusses three main types of growth: hypertrophy, hyperplasia, and extracellular secretion. Growth of the cranial vault occurs primarily at sutures through periosteal activity. The cranial base grows through endochondral ossification at synchondroses. The maxilla grows both by displacement from cranial base growth until age 6 and then by sutural growth, with bone remodeling on its surfaces. Mandibular growth involves both endochondral growth at the condyle and periosteal growth along the posterior ramus surface.
The document discusses several theories of craniofacial growth including:
1. Sutural dominance theory which posits that sutures are the primary drivers of growth. However, evidence shows sutures are growth sites not centers and respond to external stimuli.
2. Cartilaginous theory which argues growth centers are cartilages like the nasal septum and condylar cartilage. Removal of cranial base synchondroses arrests cranial base growth.
3. Functional matrix theory suggests soft tissues play a role through their response to functional forces during development. No single theory alone can fully explain craniofacial growth.
This document discusses Moss's functional matrix theory of craniofacial growth. Some key points:
- Moss argues soft tissues (functional matrices) drive skeletal growth rather than vice versa. Growth of the functional matrix is primary, skeletal growth secondary and compensatory.
- There are two types of functional matrices: periosteal (muscles) and capsular (masses and spaces enclosed in capsules). Periosteal matrices affect microskeletal units while capsular matrices affect the overall skeletal unit through passive growth/translation.
- The neurocranial and orofacial capsules surround functional components. Expansion of the capsular matrix (e.g. brain) causes secondary expansion of the
The document discusses the biomechanics of space closure during orthodontic treatment. It covers topics such as determinants of space closure including axial inclination and midline discrepancies. It also discusses fundamentals of anchorage control including extraoral forces, intermaxillary elastics, and tipping movements. Additionally, it describes strategies for differential space closure such as applying different moment-to-force ratios to anterior vs. posterior teeth. The center of resistance during anterior retraction is also examined.
The document discusses occlusion and temporomandibular disorders. It begins with an introduction to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and its classification as a compound joint. The presentation then covers the anatomy of the TMJ including ligaments, muscles, the articular disc, movements, and examination. Common TMJ disorders are outlined such as hyperplasia and hypoplasia of the condyle. Treatment options for different disorders are mentioned. The document provides an overview of the structure, function and clinical aspects of the temporomandibular joint and disorders.
role of harmones and vitamins in craniofacial growth and developmentDeeksha Bhanotia
Growth and development of the craniofacial structures is influenced by hormones and vitamins. The pituitary gland secretes growth hormone which acts directly and indirectly to stimulate growth of the maxilla, mandible, and other bones. Studies have shown increased craniofacial growth in patients receiving long-term growth hormone therapy. Deficiencies or excess of growth hormone can result in conditions like dwarfism or gigantism with characteristic dental and skeletal features.
Removable appliances have several advantages including improved oral hygiene, less chair time, ability to do tipping movements and bite reduction, less strain on teeth. They require patient cooperation and have a greater risk of being misplaced. They work by applying single forces to tip teeth around their center of resistance. Key components are retentive elements like clasps to aid retention, active elements like springs and elastics to induce tooth movement, and a base plate for support. Patients must be instructed to wear appliances full-time and maintain oral hygiene.
This document discusses the management of open bite and crossbite under the guidance of Dr. Mridula Trehan. It defines open bite and classifies it based on location and tissues involved. Anterior open bite can be skeletal or dental in nature. Crossbite is classified based on location as anterior or posterior, and based on nature as skeletal, dental, or functional. Treatment depends on the type and includes appliances, elastics, expansion, and in severe skeletal cases, surgery. The goal is to address the underlying cause and intrude or prevent eruption of posterior teeth to correct the bite.
This document discusses the management of deep bites. It defines deep bite, classifies it as skeletal or dental, and outlines factors to consider in treatment. Skeletal deep bites are due to genetic or growth factors, while dental deep bites result from overerupted incisors or infraoccluded molars. Diagnosis involves clinical exams, models, and lateral cephs. Treatment may involve bite planes, myofunctional appliances, or fixed appliances to intrude incisors or extrude molars depending on the individual case. The goal is to achieve functional and aesthetic occlusion.
This document discusses preventive orthodontics and space maintainers. It begins by defining preventive orthodontics and distinguishing it from interceptive orthodontics. It then lists the advantages and disadvantages of preventive orthodontics. The document goes on to describe various preventive orthodontic procedures and space maintainer types, materials, indications, and factors to consider when planning space maintainers. The overall goal is to educate students on the principles and procedures of preventive orthodontics and space maintenance.
The document discusses retention and relapse after orthodontic treatment. It defines relapse as teeth returning to their original position after treatment. Relapse can be caused by bone adaptation, ligament traction, growth changes, muscular forces, failure to address the original cause, third molars, and occlusion issues. Retention aims to hold teeth in their corrected positions and allow tissues to remodel. It discusses different retention philosophies and types of retainers including removable retainers like Hawley, Begg, and Invisalign retainers as well as fixed retainers. The goal of retention is to stabilize teeth after active treatment.
This document discusses prostaglandins and their role in orthodontic tooth movement. It begins with an introduction to orthodontic tooth movement and the various chemical mediators involved, including prostaglandins. It then discusses how drugs can alter the rate of tooth movement, with prostaglandins and other substances like vitamin D and PTH increasing the rate, while NSAIDs and bisphosphonates decrease it. The document concludes by focusing on prostaglandins and their mechanism of action in accelerating orthodontic tooth movement.
This document discusses various orthodontic appliances used under the guidance of Dr. Mridula Trehan. It provides details on commonly used appliances like headgear, face mask, and chin cup. For headgear, it describes the components of the face bow assembly and different types of headgears based on the site of anchorage. Face mask is discussed in terms of its indications, parts, biomechanics and different types. Chin cup is summarized focusing on its principle, parts, types and fabrication process. Force magnitude and duration of wear for various appliances is also highlighted.
This document provides an overview of orthodontic appliances, including their classification, advantages, and disadvantages. It discusses removable appliances, fixed appliances, and the ideal requirements of an orthodontic appliance. Removable appliances are convenient but require patient cooperation, while fixed appliances do not rely on patient compliance but are more difficult for oral hygiene. The ideal appliance should cause desired tooth movement safely, apply controlled forces, and be esthetically acceptable.
MANAGEMENT OF CLASS II & CLASS III MALOCCLUSIONSDeeksha Bhanotia
This document discusses the management of Class II and Class III malocclusions. It describes the features, etiology, treatment objectives, and treatment approaches for Class II Division 1 and 2 malocclusions, including the use of growth modification, camouflage, and surgical correction. Treatment approaches discussed include myofunctional appliances, fixed functional appliances, and extractions. The document also covers the features, etiology, diagnosis, and interceptive and definitive treatment of Class III malocclusions, including the use of FR III, reverse pull headgear, and orthognathic surgery. It distinguishes true skeletal Class III malocclusions from pseudo Class III malocclusions caused by dental or functional factors.
This document discusses the evolution of smile visualization and quantification in orthodontics. It describes how orthodontics has shifted away from solely focusing on the profile and incorporating an analysis of the smile in three dimensions and over time. Dynamic video recordings are highlighted as an important record for understanding smile types and performing measurements of smile characteristics. Direct measurements of smile features are presented as an objective, biometric tool for smile analysis and treatment planning.
This document discusses various procedures and techniques for interceptive orthodontics, which aims to recognize and address developing malocclusions and irregularities in young patients. It describes serial extraction, which involves extracting teeth in a planned sequence to address crowding. It also covers topics like developing anterior crossbites, habits like thumb sucking, space regaining when teeth are extracted, muscle exercises, and intercepting skeletal issues like Class II or III malocclusions. The goal of interceptive orthodontics is to address orthodontic issues early before they worsen.
A 9-year-old female presented with an impacted maxillary right central incisor and canine. The crowns were surgically exposed and Multi-Purpose Attachments (MPAs) with hooks were bonded to apply light eruptive forces and align the teeth over 20 months. MPAs helped avoid soft tissue laceration during incisor eruption and prevented occlusal interference during canine retraction. At the 43-month follow-up, lingual retainers bonded to MPAs had successfully aligned and retained the impacted teeth.
This document provides information on fixed orthodontic appliances. It defines fixed appliances as those that cannot be removed by the patient and discusses their advantages like better control over tooth movement and disadvantages like difficulty maintaining oral hygiene. It describes different types of attachments used in fixed appliances like bands, brackets, and wires. It also covers indications, methods of fixing appliances, components, and techniques like edgewise and Begg appliances.
This document summarizes a presentation on facial asymmetry given by Dr. Deeksha Bhanotia. It discusses the etiology, classification, diagnosis, and management of facial asymmetry. Facial asymmetry can be caused by genetic factors like clefts or environmental factors like trauma. It is classified as dental, skeletal, muscular, or functional asymmetry. Diagnosis involves medical history, dental and facial evaluation, and radiographs. Management depends on the underlying cause and may involve orthodontic treatment and/or orthognathic surgery.
This document discusses cleft lip and palate, including its embryology, historical background, theories of formation, classification systems, etiology, and management. It notes that cleft lip and palate can be caused by hereditary factors, infections, drugs, radiation, or diets during pregnancy. The epidemiology section provides statistics on its prevalence among different racial groups and discusses associated factors like parental age and seasonal variations. Treatment involves a multidisciplinary approach depending on the type and severity of the cleft.
Dr. Deeksha Bhanotia is an assistant professor at a university. She has a PhD in computer science and has published several papers in top conferences in her field of artificial intelligence and machine learning. This document appears to be the header for Dr. Bhanotia including her name and credentials.
This document discusses factors to consider when evaluating borderline cases in orthodontics that are between requiring extraction versus non-extraction treatment. It outlines various clinical examinations, cephalometric evaluations, and indices used to assess tooth-size arch length deficiency, lip prominence, curve of spee, and skeletal and dental variables to determine whether extraction is necessary to achieve functional occlusion or if non-extraction can be used. Borderline cases are defined as those with permanent dentition, healthy periodontium, normal anteroposterior maxilla-mandible relationship, and where extraction may be needed to obtain stable occlusion but could impact facial aesthetics.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

Presented by:
Dr. Deeksha Bhanotia

2. DEFINITIONS OF GROWTH
JS Huxley “The self multiplication of living substance.”
Krogman “Increase in size, change in proportion and progressive complexity.”
Todd “An increase in size.”
Meridith “Entire series of sequential anatomic and physiologic changes taking place from
beginning of prenatal life to senility.”
Moyers “Quantitative aspect of biologic development per unit of time”
Moss “Change in any morphological parameter, which is measurable.”
Profitt “Growth refers to an increase in size/number.”
3. DEFINITIONS OF DEVELOPMENT
Todd “Development is progress towards maturity.”
Profitt “Development is in complexity.”
Moyers “Development refers to all the naturally occurring unidirectional changes in the life of
an individual from its existence as a single cell to its elaboration as a multifunctional
unit terminating in death.”
4. Development = Growth + Differentiation + Translocation, where differentiation means change in
quality, and translocation means change in position.
Profit differentiates the term growth and development as follows. The basic difference between
growth and development is growth can be considered an "anatomic phenomenon" whereas
development is a “physiological and behavioural phenomenon”
Premkumar S.: Textbook of craniofacial growth ,( 1st edition);46
5. Differentiation is the change from generalized cells or tissues to more specialized kinds during
development.
Differentiation is change in quality or kind.
Translocation is change in position.
Translocation of chin point downward and forward is far more than any growth at the chin itself.
Maturation is the qualitative changes which occur with ripening or aging.
Premkumar S.: Textbook of craniofacial growth ,( 1st edition);46
6. Kharbanda OP. Orthodontics: Diagnosis of & Management of Malocclusion & Dentofacial Deformities,(third edition).
7. GROWTH PATTERN
Pattern refers to the way in which the various parts of the body are arranged in a proportional
relationship.
It represents the set of proportional relationships and not a single proportional relationship.
The relationships are not only represented at a particular point of time but also portray the
change in relationship over time.
Moyers defines pattern as a set of constraints operating to preserve the integration of parts
under varying conditions or through time.
Premkumar S.: Textbook of craniofacial growth ,( 1st edition);47
8. CEPHALOCAUDAL GROWTH
Cephalocaudal growth gradient is an example of change in the body proportions that occurs in
normal growth and development.
In the third month of intrauterine life, head constitutes 50 percent of the total body length. The
cranium is large, relative to the face and represents more than half of the total head.
Limbs are underdeveloped.
At the time of birth the trunk and the limbs have grown faster than head and face, so that the
portion of the head is decreased to 30 percent.
In the adult, there is progressive reduction in relative size of head which is 12 percent of the
total head body length.
Premkumar S.: Textbook of craniofacial growth ,( 1st edition);47
9. Thus there is always an increase in the gradient of growth towards the caudal direction right from
the intrauterine life. We could also figure out that greater proportion of head which is seen
during birth is reduced in the adult.
Even in the head and face at the time of birth, there is a larger cranium and a much smaller face.
This increased axis of growth inthe caudal direction is called as cephalocaudal growth gradient.
Cephalocaudal growth is evident in the face also.
At birth, jaws and face are less developed when compared to skull, maxilla being closer to head,
grows faster and growth is completed before mandibular growth. Mandible being away from the
brain grows more and growth completes later than maxilla.
Premkumar S.: Textbook of craniofacial growth ,( 1st edition);47-48
10.
11. SCAMMON’S GROWTH GRADIENT
Human body is comprised of four major tissues. They are neural, somatic—includes muscles and
bone, lymphoid and genital/sexual tissue.
Not all the tissue systems of the body grow at the same rate.
Growth of the neural tissues is complete by 6 or 7 years of age.
General body tissues, including muscle bone and viscera show an ‘S’ shaped curve, with a definite
slowing down of the rate of growth during childhood and acceleration at puberty.
Lymphoid tissues proliferate far beyond the adult amount in late childhood and then undergo
involution at the same time when growth of the genital tissues accelerates rapidly.
Premkumar S.: Textbook of craniofacial growth ,( 1st edition);48
12.
13. VARIABILITY
Another important concept of growth is variability.
According to Moyers, variability is the law of nature.
No two individuals grow in the same manner.
Variations can be attributed to both genetic and environmental factors.
Variations in growth can be expressed by statistics as range of differences found in a population
containing people of similar age, sex, socioeconomic background and race.
Premkumar S.: Textbook of craniofacial growth ,( 1st edition);48
14. MECHANISM OF BONE GROWTH
Deposition and Resorption
Bones grow by addition of new bone tissue on one side of the bony cortex and taking it away from
the other side.
The surface facing towards the direction of progressive growth receives new bone deposition.
The surface facing away undergoes resorption.
Premkumar S.: Textbook of craniofacial growth ,( 1st edition);50
15. The outside and the inside surfaces of a bone are covered by irregular patterns called growth
fields.
It is comprised of various soft tissue osteogenic membranes or cartilages. Bone does not grow by
itself.
Bone growth is influenced by this soft tissue growth fields.
The genetic program of the bone growth is not contained within the hard tissue. But it resides in
the surrounding tissue growth fields.
All bones have got both resorptive and depository fields.
Premkumar S.: Textbook of craniofacial growth ,( 1st edition);50
16. ENDOSTEAL AND PERIOSTEAL BONE GROWTH
Approximately half of the cortical plate of the facial and cranial bones is formed by the outer
surface, i.e. the periosteum, and the other half by the inner surface, the endosteum.
Appositional layers of cortical bone can originate entirely from the periosteum or the endosteum.
In some cases, the same cortex is composed of periosteal and endosteal bone layers which are
separated by reversal lines.
This type of bone growth indicates that there has been a change in the direction of growth at
some time.
As new cortical bone is always deposited on the surface facing toward the direction of growth,
bones revert to a type of periosteal bone formation from endosteal bone formation or vice versa.
The reversal line represents the interface between endosteally and periosteally produced bone
layers.
Premkumar S.: Textbook of craniofacial growth ,( 1st edition);51
17. (A) If the direction of the growth remains
constant, the right cortical is formed periosteally and left
formed endosteally. Both shift in unison in the direction of
the growth. (B) The direction of bone can change during
development of bone. In the area marked with an asterisk
bone formation initially occurs endosteally (above) and at
a later date after reversal of the direction of growth,
periosteally(below)
(A) Reversal line: The interface between
periosteally and endosteally formed bone is termed the
reversal line. Line drawing of the histological section: AK—
alveolar bone; P—periodontal space; Z—tooth root. (B)
Section through an alveolar bone. The yellow staining shows
endosteal bone formation in upper section of the surface
facing the tooth and periosteal formation in the lower section.
This leads to rotation of the bone structure (fluorescent
microscopic view after tetracycline staining)
18. REMODELING
Facial bones undergo resizing and reshaping simultaneous to bone deposition and resorption.
The reshaping of bone occurs not due to generalized deposition and resorption. Bone shaping
requires differential growth activity, known as remodeling.
Remodeling is a part of growth process, provides regional changes in shape, dimensions and
proportions.
It also provides regional adjustments that adapt to the developing function of the bone and its
various growing soft tissues.
Premkumar S.: Textbook of craniofacial growth ,( 1st edition);51
19. GROWTH MOVEMENTS
Drift and Displacement
All bones have one common growth principle, that is drift, which was termed by Enlow(1963).
Drift is growth movement (relocation or shifting) of an enlarging portion of a bone by the
remodeling action of its osteogenic tissues, while displacement is a physical movement of a whole
bone.
The cortical plate can be relocated by simultaneous apposition and resorption processes on the
opposing periosteal and endosteal surfaces (cortical drift).
The bony cortical plate drifts by depositing and resorbing bone substance on the outer and inner
surfaces respectively, in the direction of growth.
Premkumar S.: Textbook of craniofacial growth ,( 1st edition);52
20. Process of cortical drift:
(A) Cortical plate of bone;
(B) increase in thickness due to apposition on one of
the surfaces;
(C) When the resorption process on one side
of the bone exceeds the apposition process on the
opposing side, the thickness of the bone will be
reduced;
(D) When resorption on one side of the bone
corresponds in magnitude to apposition on the opposing
side, the bone will drift without changing its size;
(E) The cortical plate has drifted completely to the right
when compared to its original position in ‘A’ by the
process of remodelling
21. DISPLACEMENT
Displacement is movement of the whole bone as a unit.
It is a translatory movement of the whole bone caused by the surrounding physical forces, and is
the second characteristic mechanism of skull growth.
The entire bone is carried away from its articular interfaces (sutures, synchondroses, condyle)
with adjacent bones.
Displacement is of two types namely primary displacement and secondary displacement.
Premkumar S.: Textbook of craniofacial growth ,( 1st edition);52-53
22. Primary displacement:
As a bone enlarges, it is simultaneously carried away from the other bones in direct contact with
it.
This creates space within which bony enlargement takes place. This is termed as primary
displacement.
It is the physical movement of the whole bone, as the bone grows and remodels by resorption and
apposition.
Premkumar S.: Textbook of craniofacial growth ,( 1st edition);53
23. Primary displacement. Bone moves from one position to another not only because
of deposition and resorption but also because of space created by enlarging bones
24. Secondary displacement:
It is the movement of a whole bone caused by the separate enlargement of other bones, which
may be nearby or quite distant.
It is the movement of bone related to enlargement of other bones.
For example, growth in the middle cranial fossa results in the movement of the maxillary complex
anteriorly and inferiorly.
Premkumar S.: Textbook of craniofacial growth ,( 1st edition);53
25. Secondary displacement. Bone moves from one position to another not because
of deposition and resorption but because of surrounding physical forces
26. Genetic theory (Brodie 1941) : This theory simply states that genes determine and control the
whole process of craniofacial growth. Genetic concept suggests that the genes supply all the
information in growth and development. This originated with classical Mendelian genetics.
27. The Sutural Theory (Sicher and Weinnman 1952) Acc. to this theory, sutures, cartilage and
periosteum are all responsible for facial growth. Sutures are the main contributor of growth in
craniofacial region. The craniofacial skeleton enlarges due to the expansible forces exerted by
the sutures as they separate
28. Cartilaginous Theory (Scott) z Also known as Scott hypothesis / Nasal septum theory /
Nasocapsular theory. Essence of theory: According to this theory, sutures play little role or no
direct role in the growth of the craniofacial skeleton . Sutures are considered as merely passive,
secondary and compensatory sites of bone formation and growth ,Intrinsic growth controlling
factors were present only in cartilage and periosteum.
29. Growth in sutures was permissive, secondary and entirely dependent on the growth of the
cartilage and adjacent soft tissues. The cranial base synchondroses cause the growth of the
cranial base and Scott compared the condylar cartilage to the cranial base cartilage. Histologic
research validates much of the Scott hypothesis Nasal septum is most active and important part
for craniofacial skeletal growth at late prenatally and early postnatally
30. Functional Matrix Hypothesis (Moss’ Hypothesis) /(FMH) The concept of this theory was
introduced first by Vander Klaaw (1948-52). Melvin L. Moss developed the form and function
concept into the functional matrix hypothesis.(1960s). The origin, growth and maintenance of all
the skeletal tissues and organs are always secondary, compensatory and obligatory responses to
temporally and operationally prior events or processes that occur in specifically related non
skeletal tissues, organs or functioning spaces.
31. One function Functional cranial component
Skeletal unit Functional matrix
1. Micro skeletal 2. Macro skeletal 1. Periosteal matrix e.g.. muscles, blood,
2. Capsular matrix e.g.. Skin and mucosa
32. The periosteal matrices stimulation causes growth of the microskeletal units. They act to alter
the size or shape or both of the bones.
Temporalis – coronoid process, temporal line .
Tooth - alveolar bone The growth process that occurs due to periosteal matrix stimulation is
called Transformation
33.
34. V PRINCIPLE
The V principle is an important facial skeleton growth mechanism, since many facial and cranial
bones have ‘V’ configuration or ‘V’ shaped regions.
The areas grow by bone deposition on the inner side due to the concept of surface growth
depending on growth direction.
Resorption takes place on the external surface of the ‘V’.
The ‘V’ moves away from its tip and enlarges simultaneously.
Thus an increase in size and growth movement takes place in a unified process. Hence it is also
called expanding ‘V’ principle.
The movement of the bone is towards the broad end of the ‘V’
Premkumar S.: Textbook of craniofacial growth ,( 1st edition);54
35. Expanding V principle—vertical expansion. Bone
is deposited on the inner surface of ‘V’ shaped bone and
resorbed on the outer surface. Thus, the ‘V’ moves away from
its narrow end (direction of the arrow) and enlarges in overall
size
36. Longitudinal section through the right and left coronoid processes of a mandible reveals that the
processes are enlarged during growth.
In accordance with the ‘V’ principle, bone is deposited on the lingual surfaces and resorbed from
the opposing buccal surfaces.
The structures increase in height, the tips of the coronoid processes diverge further, and their
bony bases converge
Premkumar S.: Textbook of craniofacial growth ,( 1st edition);54
37. The ‘V’ principle—horizontal expansion. Mandibular
configuration of a five year old and an adult viewed from
above.
The mandible is viewed from above, including a
horizontal section through the base of the coronoid
process.
Bone is deposited on the lingual side of the mandibular
structures up to the ramal surface. Thus, the coronoid
process move—despite bone deposition on the inner
surfaces in backward direction and the posterior parts of
the mandible widen (Enlow 1982)
38. POSTERIOR GROWTH AND ANTERIOR DISPLACEMENT
The overall growth pattern of maxilla and mandible can be explained in two different ways.
If the cranium is considered as the reference area, the maxilla and mandible moves downward and
forward.
On the contrary, findings from vital studies have shown particularly in the mandible the posterior
surface of the ramus, the condylar and coronoid processes are the principal sites of growth with
little changes along the anterior part of the mandible.
This proves the concept that the jaw bones are translated downward and forward while it grows
upward and backward in response to the translation.
This helps to maintain spatial contact with the skull.
Premkumar S.: Textbook of craniofacial growth ,( 1st edition);55
39. Comparison of posterior growth—anterior
displacement with a swimmer who dives from the
board
(A) Mandible grows downward and forward
if cranial base is taken as reference and
(B) Vital studies have shown that the concept B is correct
and the mandible grow backwards and upwards
40. GROWTH EQUIVALENTS CONCEPT/ENLOW
COUNTERPART PRINCIPLE
According to Enlow, the growth activity in one region is invariably accompanied by complementary
growth in other regions.
This complementary activity is essential for maintaining functional and esthetic balance. Enlow
pointed out, both the dimensions and alignment of the craniofacial components are important in
determining the overall facial balance.
Thus if the anterior facial height is long, facial balance is preserved if the posterior facial height
and mandibular ramus height are also relatively large.
On the other hand, short posterior facial height can lead to a skeletal open bite tendency and
disturbance in facial proportionality.
Similarly, alignment would affect the vertical and anteroposterior position of the various skeletal
units and could compensate or worsen a tendency toward imbalance.
Premkumar S.: Textbook of craniofacial growth ,( 1st edition);55
41. SITE VS CENTER
Baume had coined these two terminologies. According to him, “growth centers” are places of
endochondral ossification with tissue separating force, contributing to the increase in skeletal
mass.
Growth site has been defined as a region of periosteal or sutural bone formation and modeling
resorption adaptive to environmental influences.
Profitt defines growth site as merely a location at which growth occurs whereas center is a
location at which independent or genetically controlled growth occurs.
All growth centers are also sites, whereas all growth sites are not centers.
Premkumar S.: Textbook of craniofacial growth ,( 1st edition);60
