Terminology Related To Growth:
Growth Sites :
Growth sites are growth fields that have a special significance in the growth of a particular bone.
Eg. Mandibular condyle in the mandible,
Maxillary tuberosity in the maxilla.
The growth sites may process some intrinsic potential to growth.
Growth Centers:Growth centers are special growth sites , which control
the overall growth of the bone.
Eg. Epiphyseal plates of long bone.
It is the differential growth activity involving simultaneous deposition & resorption on all the inner & outer surfaces of the bone.
Eg. Ramus moves posteriorly by a combination of resorption & deposition.
Remodelling
Mechanism Of Bone Growth
-BONE DEPOSITION & RESORPTION
-CORTICAL DRIFT
-DISPLACEMENT
Bone deposition & resorption:Bone changes in shape & size by two basic
mechanisms.
The bone deposition & resorption together is called “ BONE REMODELING”.
The changes that bone deposition & resorption can produce are:
A) Change in size
B) Change in shape
C) Change in proportion
D) Change in relationship of the bone with adjacent structures.
Cortical Drift:
- A combination of bone deposition & resorption resulting in a growth movement towards the deposition surface is called “Cortical Drift”.
- If bone deposition & resorption on either side of a bone are equal - the thickness of the bone remains constant.
- If in case more bone is deposited on one side & less bone resorbed on the opposite side –The thickness of the bone increases.
Displacement: It is the movement of the whole bone as a unit.
Displacement can be of two types.
Primary displacement: If a bone gets displaced as a result of its own growth,it is called “Primary displacement”.eg. Growth of the maxilla at the tuberosity region results in pushing of the maxilla against the cranial base which results in the displacement of the maxilla in a forward & downward direction.
Secondary displacement: If the bone gets displaced as a result of growth & enlargement of
an adjacent bone, it is called Secondary displacement.eg. The growth of the cranial base causes the forward & downward displacement of the maxilla.
Characteristics of Bone Growth
Bone formation occurs by 2 methods of differentiation of mesenchymal tissues that may be of mesodermal or ectomesenchymal origin.
Accordingly 2 types of bone growth is normally seen.
1) Intramembranous ossification : The transformation of mesenchymal
connective tissue usually in membranous sheets,into osseous tissues.
2) Endochondral ossification:
The conversion of hyaline cartilage prototype models into bone.
The cartilage ‘template ‘ is then replaced by endochondral bone accounting for indirect bone growth.
POST-NATAL GROWTH Of MAXILLA
Since, the maxillary complex is attached to the cranial base, there is a strong influence of the latter on the former. Although there is no sharp line of demarcation between the cranium & maxillary growth gradients,yet the position of the maxilla is dependent upon the growth at spheno-occipital & spheno-occipital synchondroses.Hence, while discussing the growth of nasomaxillary complex, we have to look into three aspects.
1)The displacement in the position of the maxillary complex,-Primary displacement- occurs in a forward direction.This occurs by growth of the maxillary tuberosity in a posterior direction .This results in the whole maxilla being carried anteriorly. -Secondary displacement- Occurs in a downward & forward direction as the cranial base grows.
2) Growth at sutures:.- Sutural connective tissue, - Proliferation - Ossification - Surface apposition - Resorption - Translation are the mechanisms for
maxillary growth.- Maxilla is related to cranium at least partially by the, - Frontomaxillary suture - Zygomaticotemporal suture - Pterygogopalatine sutureThe growth in these areas would serve to move the maxilla
downward & forward.
3)Surface Remodelling:
Remodeling occurs by bone deposition & resorption to bring about:
a) Increase in size
b) Change in shape
c) Change functional relationship

POST NATAL GROWTH PHASE OF MANDIBLE
At birth the two rami of the mandible are short , condylar development is minimum and there is no articular eminence in glenoid fossa. A thin layer of fibrocartilage & connective tissue exists at the midline of symphysis to separate right & left mandibular bodies.
At fourth month of age and end of first year symphysial cartilage is replaced by bone
Appositional growth is active
at alveolar border
at distal & superior surfaces
of the ramus
at the condyle
along the lower border of
mandible and
on its lateral surface.
During first year of life
Mandibular growth become more selective , condyle shows considerable activities, mandible moves and grows downward & forward.
Appositional growth occurs on posterior border of the ramus and on the alveolar process.
Resorption occurs along the anterior border of ramus lengthening the alveolar border & maintaining the anterior- posterior dimension of ramus.
After first year of life these changes occurs
Growth in mandible
1. ENDOCHONDRAL 2. INTRAMEMBRANOUS
Mandibular ossification Patterns
1. PERIOSTEAL APPOSITION
2. SURFACE REMODELLING.
Patterns of growth in mandible
Patterns of growth in mandible
The body of the mandible grows longer by periosteal apposition of bone on posterior surface of mandible.
The ramus grows higher by endochondral replacement at condyles accompanied by surface remodelling.
1. The ramus 2. The condylar 3. The coronoid process.
Principle sites of growth in mandible
Thus the mandible is now being translated downwards and forwards and at the same time its growing in size upwards and backwards.
The surface remodelling suggests that mandible grows longer by apposition of new bone on the posterior surface of the ramus and at the same time large quantities of bone are removed from the anterior surface of ramus.
This in turn suggests that ramus moves away from the chin.
As the growth proceeds, the
posterior surface may become the anterior as the remodelling
continues.
In infancy the ramus is located at a spot where the primary
first molar will erupt.
Progressive posterior remodelling thus creates space for the second
primary molar and the sequentially for the permanent
first molar.More often than not this growth ceases before enough space has been created
for the eruption of third permanent molar which becomes impacted.
Prominence of chin
The change in the contour of chin occurs because the area just above the chin and the base of the alveolar process is a resorptive area.
With maturity the prominence increases due to overall growth pattern of the mandible and with the resorption of the area above the chin.
Mandibular growth in accordance to TMJ
When the TMJ remains in the same antero- posterior position relative to the cranial base the growth expressed is entirely as the forward movement of the chin.
On the other hand when the TMJ moves downwards and backwards in relation to the cranial base not much growth of chin is expressed.
Enlow’s v principle
According to Enlow, many facial bones show a 'V' typegrowth pattern.
The growth movements and enlargement occur towards thewide 'V' ends of the bone.
This type of growth occurs at the base of themandible, ends of long bone, palate, body of mandible
Drift and displacement Growth movement of enlarging portion of bone by
remodelling :DRIFT. The combinations of deposition and resorption
result in growth movement toward the depository surface.
The growth movement of the whole bone as a unit :DISPLACEMENT.
The bone is carried away from its articulation in relation to other bones.
THE NET GROWTH OCCURS IN THE DIRECTION OF DRIFT PLUS DISPLACEMENT.
Rotations of jaws during growth
Types of rotations: Internal rotation: rotation occurring in core
of each jaw and tends to be masked by the surface changes and alterations in the rate of tooth eruption.
External rotations : includes surface changes.
The overall change in the orientation of each jaw results from combination of these two.
Components of internal rotation
Matrix rotation: the rotation around the condyles ;
Intramatrix rotation: centered within the body of the mandible.
Conventionally, the range of internal rotation is about 10-15 degrees.
Implant studies of jaw rotation Carried out by Bjork.
The mandible consists of three functional processes:
Alveolar process Muscular process Condylar process
In these studies, implants are placed in stable areas away from functional processes and significant jaw rotation in the core can be observed.
