Study Notes

Orofacial Development

  • Embryonic development begins after fertilization of the zygote, with cell division forming a morula.
  • The morula develops into a blastocyst with an outer layer (trophoblast) and inner cells (embryoblast).
  • The embryoblast differentiates into two layers (epiblast and hypoblast), creating a bilaminar embryo.
  • Around the end of the second week, the epiblast invaginates forming the primitive streak, which develops the neural tube.
  • The neural tube is crucial to the central nervous system (CNS).
  • Neural crest cells develop from the neural tube. Migrating into the mesoderm, they play a role in craniofacial tissues.

Development of Facial Structures

  • The face's development occurs during the fourth week of prenatal development.
  • Three embryonic germ layers are involved: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm.
  • The primitive mouth's development includes five facial prominences like the frontonasal and mandibular processes.
  • Facial processes are defined by grooves that flatten out through cellular activity.
  • The stomodeum appears as a shallow depression in the ectoderm and will form the oral and nasal cavities.
  • The oropharyngeal membrane separates the stomodeum from the foregut.

Mandibular Arch and Lower Face Formation

  • Two mandibular processes originate inferior to the primitive mouth.
  • These fuse to form the mandibular arch, extending between the brain and the heart.
  • Meckel's cartilage forms within each side of the arch, which will later develop into the middle ear bones. The mandible itself develops via intramembranous ossification.
  • The mesoderm in the mandibular arch gives rise to chewing muscles.

Maxillary Process and Midface Formation

  • The maxillary process forms (5th week) on each side of the primitive mouth.
  • It extends superiorly and anteriorly to contribute to the upper lip, cheeks, and portions of the palate, and secondary palate.
  • The maxillary process also contributes to the maxilla's lateral posterior portion.
  • The fusion of the maxillary and mandibular processes forms the facial commissures.

Development of the Frontonasal Process and Upper Face

  • The frontonasal process, formed during the fourth week, forms the upper face.
  • The frontonasal process gives rise to the forehead, bridge of the nose, central upper lip, maxillae (incisors included), the primary palate, the nasal septum.
  • Special sense organs develop on the ectoderm's surface called placodes.
    • Lens placodes give rise to eye sensory structures.
    • Nasal placodes develop into olfactory cells.
    • Otic placodes form parts of the inner ear.

Nose Development

  • Nasal placodes become submerged leading to nasal pits.
  • Two medial nasal processes form the center portion of the upper lip and nose.
  • Two lateral nasal processes form the sides of the nose.
  • These processes fuse to form the nasal septum and the upper lip.

Palatal Development

  • The palate begins development in the fifth week.
  • The primary palate forms from the median nasal process and is responsible for the front part of the hard palate.
  • Bilateral maxillary processes develop into two palatal shelves that grow downwards and then fuse in the midline to form the secondary palate.
  • The palate is completed by the 12th week.

Tongue Development

  • The tongue develops during the fourth to eighth weeks.
  • The tongue develops from the first four branchial arches and occipital somites.
  • Lateral lingual swellings and the tuberculum impar develop into the anterior two-thirds of the tongue.
  • The sulcus terminalis is the V-shaped groove that separates the tongue's anterior and posterior parts.

Nasal Cavity and Septum Development

  • Nasal cavities start to form at the same time as the palate. Fused medial nasal processes form the nasal septum.
  • The nasal septum grows downwards and fuses with the horizontally formed final palate, this separates the nasal cavities from the oral cavity.
