Study Notes
Development of the Face
- Facial primordia appear in the fourth week, around the stomodeum (mouth).
- Facial development is influenced by the forebrain, frontonasal ectodermal zone, and developing eye.
- Five facial primordia emerge: frontonasal (single), maxillary (paired), and mandibular (paired).
- Maxillary and mandibular prominences are derivatives of the first pharyngeal arches.
- Neural crest cells are the major source of connective tissues like cartilage, bone, and ligaments in the facial and oral regions.
- The frontonasal prominence surrounds the ventrolateral forebrain, forming the forehead, and nasal part.
- Maxillary prominences form the lateral boundaries of the stomodeum.
- Mandibular prominences create the caudal boundary of the stomodeum.
- Facial prominences act as growth centers, connecting through mesenchyme.
- By the end of the fourth week, bilateral oval thickenings (nasal placodes) of surface ectoderm develop on the frontonasal prominence.
- Nasal pits develop from the initially convex nasal placodes, which become depressed.
- Nasal pits form the anterior nares (nostrils) and nasal cavities.
- The lateral nasal prominences create the alae (sides) of the nose.
- The medial nasal prominences merge to form the middle part of the upper lip (philtrum).
Development of the Palate
- The palate develops from two primordia: primary and secondary palates.
- Palatogenesis begins in the 6th week but isn't complete until the 12th week.
- Molecular pathways like WNT and PRICKLE1 are involved in this process.
- The critical palatogenesis period is from the end of the sixth week to the start of the ninth.
- The primary palate (median process) develops early in the sixth week from merging medial nasal prominences.
- It forms the anterior and midline aspect of the maxilla, specifically the premaxillary part.
- The secondary palate, arising from two lateral palatine processes, develops in the sixth week.
- These processes grow downwards, meet in the midline, and fuse.
- The fusion process begins anteriorly in the ninth week and is completed superior to the hard palate primordium by the 12th week.
- The fusion line is marked by the palatine raphe.
- The posterior aspect of the palate does not ossify.
- The primary palate forms the premaxillary part of the maxilla, which includes the incisor teeth.
- The secondary palate creates the remaining hard and soft palate, including the uvula.
- A nasopalatine canal persists in the median plane of the palate between the anterior maxilla.
Tooth Development
- Tooth development begins in the sixth week.
- The dental lamina (C-shaped structure) forms in the oral cavity along the jaws.
- This lamina gives rise to dental buds.
- Tooth development goes through stages: bud, cap, and bell stages.
- Within the cap stage, an outer and inner dental layer and the stellate reticulum form.
- Cells in the dental papilla differentiate into odontoblasts, forming dentin.
- Odontoblasts retreat, leaving a layer.
- Formation of the root of the tooth is marked by the penetration of the dental epithelial layers into the underlying mesenchyme.
- Cells in the dental papilla form a layer of dentin.
- Mesenchymal cells differentiate into cementoblasts, and they produce cementum.
- Eruption of deciduous teeth occurs between 6 to 24 months after birth.
- Permanent teeth erupt later, pushing out the deciduous ones.
Anomalies of Face Development
- Nasolacrimal duct atresia: partial failure of the nasolacrimal duct to canalize.
- Congenital auricular sinuses and cysts are usually triangular, located in the skin anterior to the auricle.
- Cleft lip (either unilateral or bilateral): failure of the maxillary and medial nasal prominences to fuse.
- Cleft palate: failure of the palatine processes to fuse. It can be further categorized as anterior or posterior, complete or incomplete.
- The different types result from failure of mesenchymal masses in the appropriate areas.
- Congenital microstomia: a small mouth due to excessive merging of the maxillary and mandibular prominences.
- Common causes include both genetic and environmental factors, including multifactorial, chromosomal, genetic factors.
Postnatal Development of Paranasal Sinuses
- Most paranasal sinuses are rudimentary or absent at birth.
- Maxillary sinuses are small at birth and grow slowly until puberty, completing development with the eruption of permanent teeth.
- Frontal and sphenoidal sinuses are not present at birth and grow after the age of 2 years.
- The growth of these structures changes the shape of the face during infancy and adolescence and adds to vocal resonance.
