    Study Notes

    Growth vs. Development

    • Growth refers to an increase in size, associated with increased weight, mass, and spatial dimensions.
    • Development encompasses morphogenesis, differentiation, and acquisition of functionality.

    Growth phases

    • Prenatal growth: Rapid increase in cell number and growth rate.
    • Postnatal growth: First 20 years of life, decreased growth rate, tissue maturation.
    • Maturity: Equilibrium between cellular loss and gain.
    • Old age: Functional activity decline.

    Tissue Growth Rates

    • Neural tissues: Grow rapidly during prenatal and early postnatal life, reaching 90% of full size by age 6.
    • Lymphoid tissues: Reach 100% of adult size by age 7, proliferate beyond adult size in late childhood, then decline to 100% by age 20.
    • Somatic tissues: Growth continues until around 18-20 years, following an S-shaped curve with rapid growth prenatally, decline before birth, rapid increase after birth, and gradual decline until a growth spurt between 11-13 years for girls and 13-15 years for boys.
    • Genital tissues: Accelerate rapidly around the onset of puberty.

    Growth Spurts

    • Periods of sudden and rapid increases in body growth.

    Quantitative Methods

    • Cephalometry: Radiographic measurements of the skull in standardized settings to study growth.
    • Implant method: Placement of tantalum pins in facial bones and skulls to study growth over time.
    • Ethical concerns make the implant method difficult in modern practice.

    Qualitative Methods

    • Vital staining: Dyes react with calcium/proteins during bone mineralization, but can only be used in experimental animals.
    • Autoradiography: Radioactive substances bind to active growth metabolites and release emissions that create an image in a photographic emulsion.

    Mechanisms of Craniofacial Bone Growth

    • Cartilaginous (endochondral) growth: Precursor cartilage is replaced by bone (e.g., base of skull, nasal septum, mandibular condyles).
    • Sutural growth: Active in bringing bones into close proximity.
    • Periosteal and endosteal (intramembranous) growth: Bone growth on the outer and inner surfaces of bones.
    • Functional matrix concept: Growth influenced by muscle forces and functional stresses.

    Nasomaxillary Complex Growth

    • Sutural growth: Growth at sutures carries the upper face downward and forward and increases the height of the orbit, with minimal vertical growth after age 7.
    • Surface apposition: Growth of the maxilla by bone deposition on facial surfaces, extending the maxillary sinus and frontal sinus through resorption.

    Mandible Growth

    • Shape at birth: Curved bone with underdeveloped processes, growth centers at the condyle.
    • Condyle: Grows upward, backward, and outward, with resorption and apposition on the surface.
    • Coronoid: Grows by bone addition posteriorly and resorption anteriorly.
    • Alveolar process: Grows upward, outward, and forward.
    • Angle: Decreases from 175 degrees at birth to 115 degrees in adulthood.
    • Midline suture: Closed by age one, lateral growth then occurs by apposition on the outer surfaces.
    • Mental foramen: Changes position from under the first deciduous molar to below the first and second premolars.
    • Chin: Becomes prominent due to bone deposition at the mental protuberance and resorption at the alveolar portion.

    Late Skeletal Growth

    • Growth is continuous, with the most rapid growth occurring during the pubertal growth spurt.
    • Growth in width is completed first, followed by length and finally height.
    • Maxillary growth (downward and forward) can continue 2-3 years after puberty, while mandibular growth continues for longer.
    • Vertical height of the face and jaws reaches adult proportions later, 17-18 years for girls and early 20s for boys.

    Growth Considerations in Orthodontics

    • Growth status and trend influence treatment interventions and prognosis.
    • Growth assessment is essential for all orthodontic patients, using methods like height/weight charts, canine calcification stages, hand-wrist radiographs, and cervical vertebral maturation index.
    • Functional jaw orthodontic therapy can redirect remaining growth, but effectiveness is minimal after the pubertal growth spurt.
