This document discusses several methods for predicting skeletal growth and estimating age, including:
1. Rickett's method of constructing a growth arc to predict mandibular growth increments over time.
2. Rickett's cephalometric prediction method which estimates changes in cranial base angle and condylar position to influence chin position.
3. A 6-step procedure is described for using Rickett's cephalometric method to estimate growth for a Class II patient, including projecting changes in cranial base, determining condylar behavior, and constructing the mandible.
4. Limitations are noted for the arcial growth prediction method in relying on tracings and using chronological rather than skeletal age.

The understanding of facial growth and occlusal development plays an important role in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning of problems encountered in dental and skeletal malocclusions.
What is Growth? An entire series of sequential anatomic and morphologic changes taking place from the beginning of prenatal life to senility-Meredith.
As Proffit says, growth prediction can never be accurate especially when the child is growing. Growth prediction can be defined as the forecast of growth related changes with the objective of predicting the direction and amount of the growth of the maxilla and particularly the mandible as well as the timing of the adolescent growth period.

Three different classifiers for facial age estimation based on K-nearest neig...Alaa Tharwat
Abstract - The exact age estimation is often treated as a
classification problem; while it can be formulated as a
regression problem. In this article, three different classifiers based
on KNN classifier's concept for facial age estimation were
designed and developed to achieve high efficiency calculation of
facial age estimation. In the first classifier, we adopt KNN-distance
approach to calculate minimum distance between test face
image and all instances belong to the class that has the highest
number of nearest samples. Additionally, in the second
classifier a modified-KNN version was proposed and the
classifier scoring results interpolated to calculate the exact age
estimation. Furthermore, KNN-regression classifier as third
classifier that used to combine the classification and regression
approaches to improve the accuracy of the age estimation
system. Moreover, we compared age estimation errors under
two situations: case 1, age estimation is performed without
discrimination between males and females (gender unknown);
and case 2, age estimation is performed for males and females
separately (gender known). Results of experiments conducted
on well know benchmark FG-NET Database show the
effectiveness of the proposed approach.

A Comparative Evaluation of Antegonial Notch Depth, Symphysis Morphology, Ram...ijtsrd
Introduction Growth and development has always remained the topic of interest for various researchers as it has a direct effect on the orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. A reliable method for growth prediction would be a key asset to the orthodontist. The depth of antegonial notch and mandibular morphology are important indicators of growth pattern. Materials and methods The sample included 80 lateral cephalograms with Angle's class I malocclusion ANB=2-4°, aged 18 30 years. The adults were categorized as average growers GO GN to SN = 28-34° , horizontal growers GO GN to SN = 28° and vertical growers GO GN to SN = 34° . The antegonial notch depth, symphysis height, symphysis depth, ratio height of symphysis depth of symphysis , angulation of symphysis, inclination of symphysis, ramus height, ramus width, mandibular and body length were assessed. To evaluate statistical significance for each parameter amongst all the three groups, one way ANOVA test was applied. Results A comparative evaluation revealed statistically significant difference with antegonial notch depth, symphysis height, symphysis depth, ratio height of symphysis depth of symphysis , angulation of symphysis, inclination of symphysis, ramus height and ramus width. Conclusion Antegonial notch depth is greater in the vertical growers as compared to horizontal and average growers. Symphysis morphology in horizontal growth pattern is associated with short height, large depth, small ratio height depth , and larger angle. Conversely, symphysis with a larger height, smaller depth, larger ratio, and a smaller angle is found in vertical growers. Ramus height and width is greater in horizontal growers as compared to the vertical growers.

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

7. The goal of growth prediction is to reduce
the clinician’s ignorance of the future…
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
8. What are we interested in predicting in
the craniofacial complex?
1. Future size of a part -The prediction of
future size is primarily a problem of predicting
future increments which are to be added to a
size that is already known.
Eg: prediction of length of the mandible
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
9. 2. Relationship of parts –
The most important prediction for the
clinician is the future relationship of parts,
that is the future facial pattern.
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
10. 3. Timing of growth events – Because growth
does not proceed evenly, certain facial dimensions
demonstrate marked change in their velocity
curves. These spurts make predictions much more
difficult.
If one were to predict a “spurt”, we might want to
predict the a) time of onset. b) duration of
increased rate of growth c) rate of growth during
the spurt.
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
11. 4. Vectors of growth- Most predictive method
presume a continuation of the pattern first
seen.The presumption is made that the vectors
of the growth present at the time of prediction
will remain.
However this is not true…..
Mandible which grow vertically for a
period of time can start to grow
horizontally!!!
Can such changes in growth direction be
predicted???
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
12. 5. Velocity of growth- It would be of use to know the
future expected rate of growth especially during pubescent
spurt.
6.Effect of orthodontic therapy on any of the
above predicted parameters
What effect therapy is having on the predicted and
actual growth of one specific face
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
13. How well can we predict these
parameters???
Future Size
Complex craniofacial growth
Any simple series of size prediction is not
clinically useful.
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
14. Relationship of parts
Harvold, Johnston, Ballach –
predicted maxillo mandibular relationship.
None were accurate…
Timing and growth events
Hunter & Miller reported the shape of the face as
roughly related to the timing of the pubuscent
spurt.
Frisancho- predict the individual spurt in stature
from noting the time of calcification of the
sesamoid bone
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
15. Vectors of growth
There is no means of anticipating change in the
direction of growth
Predicting vector is not same as predicting
changes in the vector….
Velocity
Not much attention is given to this
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
16. The effect of orthodontic therapy on
growth
Ricketts’ method- sets the prediction and
then works to make them come true
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
17. Gnomic growth and logrithmic
spiral
What is gnomic growth?
The process where upon the addition to a body
leaves the resultant body similar to the original is
called gnomic growth.
D’Arcy Thompson classified the sea shells in
accordance to their pattern of enlargement and
developed an equation.
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
18. The Nautilus offers 2 fundamental characterstics-
1. The shell grows in size but does not change its
shape
new growth
2. Its gnomic growth can be described by a
particular kind of curve- the logarithmic or
equiangular spiral.
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
19. The spiral is characterized by the movement of a
point away from the pole along the radius vector
with a velocity increasing as its distance from the
pole
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
20. Logarithmic growth of human
mandible
There are several functional conditions which are
not violated during orofacial growth- one of these is
neural innervations which must never be subjected
to external loading.
Craniometric studies were performed on American
Indian skull .they are representative of mandible
with fetal, deciduous, mixed and adult dentition.
Small lead shots were fixed to foramen ovale.
Mandibular foramen.& foramen mental
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
21. Lateral x-rays effectively outlined the
pathway of the Inf. Alveolar nerve.
All the 3 neural foramina at all ages fit
precisely upon a single mathematically
defined, logarithmic spiral.
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
22. Another longitudinal and cross sectional clinical
growth data showed that these foramina moved
along the same logarithmic spiral in geometric
fashion, with the gradient of motion directly
increasing with the distance of the foramina from
the cranial base. ie mental foramen moves most
and the foramen ovale least.
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
23. In the fetal period the 3 foramina are relatively
near the origin of the spiral and at the same time
they are placed nearer to each other than at
later stage. This produces a flatter curvatre
hence gonial angle is relatively flat
With growth due to increase in distance ramus
becomes straight relative to corpus and gonial
angle acute.
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
24. During all stages of development the corpus
stays in essentially a horizontal position. At the
same time the mandible curves down the
logarithmic spiral course of the inferior alveolar
nerve.
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
25. Arcial growth
Ricketts in 1972 developed a method to
determine the arc of growth of the mandible.
PRINCIPLE:
A normal human mandible grows by superior
anterior apposition at the ramus on a curve or
arc which is a segment formed from a circle. The
radius of this circle is determined by using the
distance from mental protrubence (Pm) to a
point at the forking of the stress lines at the
terminus of the oblique ridge on the medial side
of the ramus( point Eva)
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
26. Landmarks
Xi point-
The deepest point on the subcoronoid is selected as R1.
R2 is selected directly opposite to it on post border of
ramus.
R3 is selected at the depth of the sigmoid notch.
R4 is directly on the lower border of ramus.
The centroid of the rectangle formed is called Xi point.
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
27. Supra pogonion- It is a point located at the superior
aspect of symphysis.
It is labelled Pm
This is substantiated as a reference point because-
1. It is the site of a reversal line (Enlow)
2. Stable unchanging bone in this area of bone (Bjork).
Point Dc – It is a point at the bisection of condyle neck
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
28. Point Eva- it is a biologic point as it is located
over the point of forking of the stress line in the
ramus.
Ramus reference point (RR) is the point halfway
between Xi point and R3 on the anterior border
of ramus.
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
29. Construction of growth
arc:
1 Point RR and R3 are
connected.
Mid point of RR and R3 is pt
Eva
2 Take pt Eva –Pm as radius-
circle is drawn
1. taking eva as a centre
2. taking Pm as a centre.
3 The point of intersection is
TR (True radius) taking this
as a centre an arc is drawn.
4 Where this arc crosses
sigmoid notch is called
Murray point.
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
30. Steps in growth prediction
Step 1 amount of growth on arc- 2.5mm
From pt Mu the mandible is grown out on the arc at
the sigmoid notch about 2.5mm.
cutoff for males=19yrs
females= 14.5yrs
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
31. Step 2
Coronoid –
upwards &outwards – 0.8mm/ yr
Condyle -
upward & backward - 0.2 mm / yr
Step 3 - Drift of gonial angle
Females- no addition
Males - 0.2 mm / yr
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
32. Step 4 complete forcasting of the
mandibular form
Connections from coronoid process –RR –
0.4mm/yr
determine space available for 3rd molar
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
33. By constructing the growth arc, growing the
mandible on the arc, extending and drifting the
angular process, this forecasting technique is
tested.
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
34. Drawbacks of arcial growth prediction
1. It relies heavily on the operators skill in tracing
the cephalogram.
2. Mitchell & Jordan (1975) concluded Ricketts
uses chronological age rather than the skeletal
age. If the patient is in a growth spurt or lag phase
it will alter the result.
3. The growth increments constants are for a fixed
population.
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
35. Ricketts cephalometric or short
term prediction
The changes in the face during treatment were
thought to be influenced by a phenomenon
within TMJ complex.
1. The changes in the angle of cranial base to a
more acute or obtuse relationship.
2. Forward or backward movement of the
condyle that influenced the chin behavior.
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
36. Procedure for growth estimation
Class II Div 1 case was selected to demonstrate
the procedure.
For growth estimation work, the cranial plane
basion-nasion (Ba-Na) plane is employed.
It can be studied in following steps:
STEP 1:
1. Projection of probable changes in the basi
cranium
It includes Points N, S, & Ba.
a.) Sella – starting point.
Average expectancy for increase along SN
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
37. pubertal spurt – 1mm / yr
Mixed dentition – 0.5 – 0.7 mm / yr.
b) Expected changes between sella & Basion
change in length is 3/4th of S-N.
c.) Establish Expected Ba-N
Connect the new S & N & Ba –formation of new
basicranium.
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
38. STEP 2:
Predeterming the behaviour of condyle
Condyle position remained same in 60% of cases
Downward & forward movement of Ar & Ba –similar after the age of 6
Superimposing Ba- N and registering Ba will reveal the future
condylar position..
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
39. STEP 3:
Ptm is outlined-evaluation of maxillary growth, coronoid pr.
Superimposing of SN and registering at S shows
Downward dropping of this fissure.
Tip of the coronoid process is located 3mm forward to ptm
at both start and completion of Treatment.
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary

40. STEP 4:
Construction of condylar axis
From the centre of condyle to antegonial angle.
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
41. STEP 5:
Contemplation of growth of condyle
Estimated on the condyle axis .
During Rx 2mm of growth / yr upto 9yrs
During puberty = 3 or 4 mm / yr may be expected
The assessment of condylar growth permits the construction of the
post. Border, gonial angle, sigmoid notch,& ant. Border of ramus.
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
42. STEP 6: assessment of remaining mandible
Rotation of mandibular plane untill the change agrees with the
estimate of change for that case
Forward direction of condyle – lower mandibular plane angle
Backward condylar growth - higher mandible plane angle.
STEP 7:
Lengthening of body of mandible
It is slightly greater than S-N plane
1.5 mm / yr
Changes in the symphysis are
plotted
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
43. STEP 8:
Facial plane and Y axis is constructed
Superimposition on the BA-N plane will indicate the direction of
growth of mandible.
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
44. Position of Maxilla
Step1 Increase in face height( vertical changes)
Facial plane is superimposed & registered on N
40% above ANS
60% of TFH increase is due to the denture area ie below
ANS.
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
45. Step 2 Horizontal position of maxilla
It is postulated from the tendency of S-Na to remain
constant to Ba-N
Pt A is dropped parallel with line NA
Great amt of bodily retraction- Pt. A will be moved back
as much as 3-5 degree.

49. Upper Lip- severely protruding cases- 2-4 mm increase in
thickness
Moderate protrusion 1-2mm increase in thickness.
Lower lip- bisecting the overbite& overjet
change and drawing sup portion of the lower lip
at this level.

for estimating the changes that can be
expected in any given case prior to
treatment.

51. Prediction of mandible growth
Rotations
Bjork 1969 gave 3 methods to predict growth.
1.Longitudnal – following the course of development
in annual x –ray
pattern of growth is not constant
2.Metric- prediction of the facial development on the
basis of facial morphology from a single x ray film.
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
52. 3.Structural- based on the information concerning the
remodelling process of the mandible during growth
gained from implant studies.
Principle- to recognize specific structural feature that
develop as a result of remodelling in a paricular
type of mandibular rotation. A prediction of the
subsequent course is then made on assumption
that the trend will continue.
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
53. Mandible may be regarded as an unconstrained
bone.
The site of the center of rotation may be located at:
Anterior ends
Posterior ends
Between the ends
Thus center may not necessarily lie at TMJ
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
54. Forward rotation may occur in 3 ways-
Type I: Forward rotation centre in TMJ
It gives rise to deep bite resulting in under development of anterior
face height
Cause may be occlusal imbalance
powerful muscular pressure.
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
55. TYPE 2: Rotation centre at the incisal edges
Marked Development of Post. Facial height + normal
increase in Ant. Facial height. The post part of mandible
rotates away from maxilla.
Increase in post facial height : lowering of middle cranial
fossa
increase height of ramus.
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
56. Vertical direction of condylar growth
Mandilble is lowered more than it is carried forward
Muscle and ligamnetous attachment
lowering takes place as a forward rotation in relation to
maxilla
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
57. Type 3: centre at pre molar
In case of large maxillary overjet the center of rotation is displaced
backward in the arch.to the level of premolars
AFH – under developed
PFH - increases.
Dental arches are pressed into each other and basal deep bite
develops.
In Type II & III the mandibular symphysis swings forward to a
marked degree and the chin becomes prominent.
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
58. BACKWARD ROTATION OF THE MANDIBLE
2 types.
TYPE 1: centre of rotation in TMJ
Backward rotation of the mandible about a center in the
joints also occurs in connection with growth of the cranial
base.
In the case of flattening of the cranial base, the middle
cranial fossae are raised in relation to the anterior one,
and then the mandible is also raised.
There may be other causes also, such as an incomplete
development in height of the middle cranial fossae.
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
59. This underdevelopment of the posterior face
height leads to a backward rotation of the
mandible, with overdevelopment of the anterior
face height and possibly open-bite as a
consequence. The mandible is, in principle,
normal.
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
60. TYPE 2: Centre at distal occluding molars
. This occurs in connection with growth in the sagittal direction
at the mandibular condyles.
As the mandible grows in the direction of its length it is carried
forward more than it is lowered in the face, and because of its
attachment to muscles and ligaments it is rotated backward.
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
61. The symphysis is swung backward and the chin
is drawn back below the face. The soft tissues of
the chin may not follow this movement, and a
characteristic double chin can form.
Basal open-bite may develop,
Difficulty in closing the lips without tension.
Lower incisors, functionally related to the upper
incisors, become retroclined in the mandible and
the alveolar prognathism is reduced
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
62. BJORK & RUNE found a contrast between the positioning of
mandible in a longitudnal series when superimposed on
the cranial base and positioning contours resulting from
superimposition on metallic implants. They divided
rotations into 3 components.
1. Matrix Rotation
2. Intramatrix rotation
3. Total rotation
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
63. Matrix Rotation: centre in the condyle
Rotation of bone with its matrix or periosteal
capsule in its articulation with surrounding bone
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
64. INTRAMATRIX ROTATION : centre in corpus
Rotation of the mineralized corpus inside the matrix periosteum.
Periosteal cellular activity rotation of the bony corpus
Surface of bone are remodeled in compensatory fashion
Matrix retains its stable inclination.
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
65. TOTAL ROTATION :
Combination of the 2 types
It is rotation of the mandibular corpus measured as a
change in the inclination of an implant line in the
mandibular corpus relative to anterior cranial base.
The position of center of rotation of total rotation is
dependent on the other 2 centers of rotation.
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
66. Structural method of growth prediction
STRUCTURAL SIGNS OF GROWTH ROTATION
7 structural signs of extreme growth rotation
The greater in number that are present, the more reliable the
prediction.
1) INCLINATION OF CONDYLE HEAD:
Forward or backward inclination
of the condylar head
May not be easy to identify
on the cephalograms.
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
67. 2) CURVATURE OF MANDIBULAR CANAL:
Vertical condylar growth
– curvature of canal is more
Sagittal condylar growth
- straight mandibular canal
3) SHAPE OF THE LOWER BORDER OF MANDIBLE
Vertical condylar growth –
apposition below the symphysis
and anterior part of mandible
Sagittal growth –
ant rounding absent
thin cortical layer
jaw angle is convex
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
68. 4. INCLINATION OF SYMPHYSIS
Vertical type –
symphysis swings forward
Sagittal type –
swings backward with receding chin.
5.Position of the lower incisor seems to be functionally related to the
upper incisors
Inter incisal angle undergoes a smaller change than the rotation of
the jaws.
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
69. 6. INTERMOLAR & PREMOLAR ANGLE:
Forward growth rotation - mandibular post. More upright
increase in inter molar/ premolar angle
Backward rotation - mandibular molar and premolars inclined
forward
small inter molar / premolar angle.
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
70. 7. LOWER ANT. FACIAL HEIGHT
Forward growth rotation- decrease in lower AFH
Backward rotation - over development of AFH
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
71. Thus, from structural method for prediction
of rotation B’jork concluded:
Forward inclination of condyle- ant rotation
of the mandible
Backward inclination- post rotation of the
mandible.
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
72. Drawbacks
There is no absolute correlation between structural growth
prediction and degree of growth rotation in cases showing
average changes.
The method should be primarily used to determine whether
any typical signs of ant. or post. Growth rotations are
present.

77. Palatal plane to C-Axis
Palatal plane is geometrically related to C-axis.
Females= increases from 35.4 – 37.4
Males =increases from 39.3- 41.6
These changes tend to flatten the palatal plane.

85. VTO
It is completely practical as a treatment planning
procedure to approach the proposed orthodontic
changes from a soft tissue analysis perspective
Possible soft tissue profile is established--- compute the
tooth movements.
It can be done manually or cephalometric tracings.
Tracing represents the expected growth or any growth
changes induced during treatment.
This is especially noticeable when growth over a period
of 5yrs or longer was forecast

86. Mathematical Model for prediction
of craniofacial growth
Presented by James. T. Todd & Leonard Mark
The model is derived from the basic
assumptions about the long range effects of
gravitational pressure on the remodelling of
bone and expressed formally on a single
geometric transformation.
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
87. The validity of the model is examined
empirically using data for 20 individuals
from the Denver Child research Council,
longitudnal growth study.
It is based on the following hypothesis-
“The overall pattern of craniofacial growth
is primarily controlled by biomechanical
influences.” This is known as Wolf ‘s law.
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
88. The wolf law’s states- The bone
elements place themselves in the
direction of functional pressure and
increase or decrease their mass to
reflect the amount of functional
pressure.
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
90. Todd & mark conclude that the mathematical
transformation was shown to make reasonably

91. Gravity influences the biomechanics of growth
which is exerted on every point with in the
craniofacial complex and it also provides a counter
force for the action of muscles.
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
92. Heads are not perfectly spherical
There are other sources of stress operating on
craniofacial complex besides the force gravity
The orientation of the head with respect to the
gravity does not remain fixed.

93. The predictions that were made were not
accurate because of-
mechanical errors
Oral habits
Nevertheless they very closely predict
the actual outcome of growth……

95. Computerized growth predictions
Cephalometric software (quickceph image,
dentofacial planner) have replaced manual acetate
tracings with computer generated tracings derived from
digitized head film. During the process of digitization, the x-
y coordinates of cephalometrics landmarks are recorded
and stored in data set from which various cephalometric
measurements are made.
Growth and treatment response can be displayed and
measured by longitudnal superimposition of serial datasets
on stable cranial base or regional landmarks

96. Rickett’s technique- It is the most
widely used and the first technique that is
implemented in software.
It assigns mean increments of growth to a
series of landmarks along reference lines
determined by the use of growth
increments that are sensitive to the
skeletal age.

97. Computerized VTO-
The manual method of prediction gives a
reasonable good graphic representation of
growth changes to create a VTO
Computer offers the added advantage
quicker access to information
greater accuracy in producing the tracing
useful in pt education
Software used are. Rocky Mountain Data

98. Mesh analysis
Coenrad. F.A moorrees et al
The mesh diagram is composed of a grid of
rectangular scaled on the pt’s upper facial height
and depth.
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
99. The face is inscribed in a coordinate system
consisting of 24 rectangles.
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
100. The length and height of mesh rectangle differs
among individuals.
The size increases from 8-16yrs.
Boys-4.5mm- ht
Girls- 3.5mm-ht
Length- 3.2mm in boys
Length 2.4mm in girls
Shape of mesh rectangle is determined by
shape of the core rectangle- represents the ratio
between face depth and upper facial height.

101. In the original proposal, the grid was
distorted to fit the proportionate location of
pt’s cephalometric landmark as compared
to the norm, thereby graphically
representing how the patient face deviated
from the norm.
Disadv- complex and laborious method
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
102. Modification – a norm is superimposed
on the pt’s grid in order to reveal
difference from a normalized mesh
diagram
Advantages-
graphically display pt’s deviation
Normal mesh diag is readily understood by
patient
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
103. Computerized mesh analysis
It is a quantitative assessment of the direction
and amount of deviation of each facial landmark
of the patient.
A modified 3 dimensional mesh analysis could
then be used to compare patients values to
reference soft tissue data collected on normal
standard.
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
104. Construction of the reference
grid
Normal reference have been constructed on the
basis of the data bank available at LAFAS, Milan
with the use of 3D facial morphometry, which
detects 3 dimensional coordinates.
The digitized landmarks described the head, the
face, the orbits, the nose lips&mouth. Mean
values were computed within genders.
A standard lattice of equidistant horizontal,
vertical,& A-P line was constructed comprising
84 parallelopipeds (28 frontal , 21 sagital 12
horizontal tracings)
Proffit W, Fields H, Sarver D;Contemporary
Orthodontics 4 ed 2007; Elsevier
106. Comparison of the patient to the
norm.
3 dimensional coordinates of the facial
landmarks of each pt were obtained, oriented on
x-y-z axis & a grid is constructed.
Step 1. std normal reference is superimposed
on the patients tracings
Size and shape difference is evaluated by
calculation of new relevant displacement vector
for each landmark

107. Conclusion
Burstone has pointed out “ the knowledge
of prediction might best proceed by learning to
predict untreated growing faces.”
The clinician must always wonder what
effect his therapy is having on the patient
and actual growth of one specific face.

Research work may develop mathematical
models, devise predictive procedures and
test them statistically but the practicing
orthodontist treating one child at a time
will prove the ultimate worth of any
suggested method….
