Learning Objectives 1 The Study of Physical Growth 1.

. Understand the definitions for growth, development, differentiation, translocation, maturation, physical growth, anthropometric measurement. Growth- normal dimensional changes in the amount of living substance that is measured in units of change per units of time Development- all the naturally occurring unidirectional changes in the life of a species from its existence as a single cell to its elaboration as a multifunctional unit Differentiation- the change from generalized cells or tissues to more specialized units during development ranslocation- change in position eg. he chin point moves downward and forward with growth !aturation- "ualitative changes that occur in tissues, organs, and structures in an orderly and predictable fashion during growth. #hysical Growth- he study of everything that happens in an organism from conception to full body growth and maturation $nthropometric !easurement- measurements of the body in terms of dimensions of bone, muscle, and adipose tissue. %. Understand the methods used to study physical growth, and an example of how each is used. &pinion- o loo' at something and extrapolate information from what you are able to see. (ee that two things are different or the same. &bservation- o loo' at a set of information that is provided and produce a finding from the information eg. )-1*+ of U( children will have at least 1 primary molar become an'ylosed before it finally resorbs and exfoliates ,atings and ,an'ings- -lassify things. eg classify faces, teeth, teeth development .uantitative !easurements- either direct or indirect measurement /!ost important0 !ethods for measurement1 $nthropometry- he measurements of s'eletal structures on a living individual. hese measurements are made using common landmar's over certain landmar' structures and compared to dry s'ulls to determine degree of development. hese measurements can be compared to a ban' of statistical data or to an individuals previous measurements. eg. 2ody !ass 3ndex -ephalometric ,adiography- #recisely orient the patients s'ull and ta'e a radiograph. his allows you to ta'e direct measurements of the dimensions of the bone tissue without having to ta'e into account the variations of soft tissue thic'nesses. $lso due to the precise cephalic orientation, you can overlay the radiographs and show the location and amount of growth. 4D imaging- #erformed using -$ scans and !,3 images, enable you to observe the three dimensional growth of the s'ull. (ignificantly more difficult to overlap and compare to a previous image but new technology is ma'ing this possible. his is primarily used in planning surgical treatments for patients with facial deformities. 4. Understand the differences between direct and indirect "uantitative measurements. Direct !easurements- 3nformation that is derived from measurements ta'en on a living person, cadaver, or s'eleton by means of calipers, scales, measuring tapes, and any other measurement instruments. -$nthropometry 3ndirect !easurements- 3nformation derived from images or reproductions of the actual person eg. #hotos or radiographs --$ scans, 5and-wrist scans determining s'eletal age, measurement of teeth from a stone model

6. 7hat is the general approach to determine s'eletal tissue maturation used in hand-wrist radiographs. 7hat sex differences are observed in the timing of s'eletal maturation8 $ radiograph is compared with standard radiographic images in an atlas of hand-wrist development. he main points that are trying to be observed is the se"uence of ossification of the bones in the hand and wrist /4* bones0, which often occurs in a regular se"uence. $lso observe the size of the epiphyseal growth plates in the long bones of the fingers /phalanges, metacarpals, and radius.0 $lso the adductor sesamoid bone originally is a piece of cartilage that ossifies during adolescence and is a 'ey mar'er for the growth spurt. here are several sex differences in timing of s'eletal maturation. Girls often precede boys in regards to growth spurt, dental calcification, ossification of carpel bones /hand-wrist radiograph0 - he maturity indicator -##% stage -Growth disc has same width as proximal phalanx of %nd /index0 finger -( stage - he sesamoid bone of the thumb begins to calcify -1*.) years for girls, 11.) years for boys -(!#4cap --apping of the middle phalanx of the 4rd /middle0 finger -1 year after ( stage -,U stage -9piphysis of the radius fuses -3ndirect measurements of an x-ray of a patient:s hand- -an measure epiphyseal growth plates -Generally, girls are 1 year ahead of boys in development -7hich means that you can start orthodontic treatments earlier in girls

). Understand the differences between height and velocity growth plots for stature, weight and sex. 5eight- !ales have a tendency of having a later growth spurt then female. !ales also usually go on to grow to be taller and grow for a longer period of time. 7eight- !ales are usually heavier and have a period of increased weight gain that occurs on average two years later than females.

;. 2e able to discern the differences between growth pattern, age e"uivalence and growth timing as aspects which affect physical growth variability. Growth pattern- the change in proportional relationships with time. -ertain patterns emerge in development that are seen almost universally. <or example the development of the head and face after birth is primarily the development of the structures and not the cranium, the body develops with a cephalocaudal gradient. he caudal end of the body grows more rapidly than the cephalic portion. 9ven occurs in the head, for instance the mandible develops more after birth then the maxilla as a result of it being farther caudal. he cephalocaudal gradient also means that caudally, the body is less developed at birth and primarily matures after birth. 9ach individual grows at a different rate and this produces variability in the rate and amount of variable growth. $ge 9"uivalence- 3ndividuals of the same age are neither necessarily of the same size nor the same stage of maturation and development. o attempt and detect stronger patterns of development and also to better observe abnormal growth, several ways of determining age were developed1 ('eletal age- age based on the development of the bones, primarily observed through hand-wrist radiographs. Dental age- age system where the numbers of calcified and erupted teeth are compared to the normal se"uence and an age is determined -hronologic age- $ge in years and months from birth date.

!ental age- age based on the mental maturity of an individual. #erformed using an intelligence test and extrapolated to an external information set. Growth timing- &ne ma=or growth landmar' in a person>s development is the growth spurt. his occurs when the body produces a significant enough supply of growth hormone and is an important point because it is used as a mar'er for the timing of other growth events. his is based somewhat in genetics but several patterns have been observed such as the fact that taller children tend to reach the adolescent spurt later than short-legged stoc'y children. $lso females begin their growth spurt earlier than males. he next "uestion identifies many of the variables that affect growth timing.

?. 2e able to list and understand the variables which affect the timing of growth. 5eredity- genetic control of the size of body parts, the rate of growth, and the onset of growth events. @utrition- malnutrition delays growth and may affect the size of body parts, proportions and "uality and texture of some tissues li'e teeth and bones 3llness- systemic diseases ,ace- gene pool differences affect s'eletal maturity at birth <amily size A 2irth order- <irst born children are lighter at birth, shorter and have higher 3. (ecular rends- size and maturational changes in large societies over time

Learning Objectives 2 1. 2e able to compare and contrast differences between cross section and longitudinal data sets in the study of craniofacial growth. Longitudinal B same individual measured at multiple time points. - advantages o efficient o large data sets from small population numbers o highlights individual variation - disadvantages o complete data sets ta'e years to collect o expensive o sub=ect retention over years is never 1**+ Cross sectional B different individuals at differing ages measured once to produce data set. - advantages o data collected "uic'ly o inexpensive - disadvantages o less efficient B many more sub=ects re"uired for same precision o you ma'e an assumption that groups measured and compared are similar o group averages obscure individual variations

Learning Objectives , 1. 2e able to list the sites of new bone growth in the craniofacial s'eleton. - -ondylar cartilages of the mandible - (ynchondroses of the cranial base --- (pecifically the spheno-occipital and occipito-mastoid synchondroses - $lveolar !argins /#DD and tooth root0 - !embranous anatomic surfaces of bones /periosteum and endosteum0 - (utures in the s'ull %. 2e able to describe the different types of positional movements of bone in the craniofacial s'eleton during growth and give an example of each different type of movement. - @ote1 9nlow defines positional movement of bones as egional responses to remodeling processes.,emodeling is the basis of bone growth, whereby there is continuous deposition of bone on one surface balanced by resorption on the contralateral surface. 6 types, can have multiple going on at once. a/ Cortical *rift1 he movement of an entire cortical surface of a bone. --- 9xamples are the lateral movement of the zygomatic arch, and the posterior movement of the coronoid process of the mandible. he surface facing the direction of movement gets built up by deposition of new cortical bone, while the contralateral surface is resorbed. b/ *is"lace!ent / n totomovement01 ,e"uires two attached anatomic units /bones or soft tissues.0 7hen one tissue grows it pushes the other tissue, thus displacing it in the direction of the growth. he displaced tissue doesn't grow and change its own position, it gets pushed. --- 9xample is the downwardIforward displacement of the maxilla and midface due to the growth of the middle cranial base. here isn:t any growth going on in the maxilla or midface, they:re =ust getting pushed along by growth going on behind them. ------ @ote1 he bric' wall cartoon shows how this can be balanced by cortical drift. he bric' wall represents the maxilla experiencing cortical drift in one direction, while the movement of the cart represents the middle cranial base growing and displacing the maxilla in the opposite direction. c/ %elocation1 $ change in the position of a region within a bone due to remodeling of the surrounding regions /of the same bone.0 hin' about cutting a dec' of cards. $ card in the middle of the dec' becomes the top card after the cards above it are moved to the bottom. @obody moved the middle card, but its position in the dec' changed. JJJJJ @& 91 here are three ares in the mandible that remain stable over time. 3nternal aspect of symphysis, 3nferior alveolar nerve canal, 3nferior border of 4rd molar crypt. d/ .0"anding Princi"le1 3n U or V shaped bones /eg. mandible, and maxillaryImandibular dental arches0 show a specific pattern of length growth. hey get deposition on the internal aspect of the K, and resorption on the outer aspect. hin' of duc'sIgeese flying bac'wards. his causes an increase in length and width of the arches. --- 9xample1 !andibular 4rd molars might be impacted in a child:s mouth, but the impaction is relieved after this K growth because the increase in length and width results in more room for them to erupt. $lso happens in epiphyseal growth plates of long bones. here is deposition at the endosteal surfaces and resorption at the periosteal surface. 4. 2e familiar with each of the ; craniofacial growth patterns. - @ote1 (ize, form, and =aw relationships are trac'ed by lateral and frontal cephalometric growth studies using either cross sectional or longitudinal data. Kertical facial growth is mostly due to mandibular condylar growth resulting in a downward and forward shift of the mandibular ramus. &cclusal plane angle and mandibular plane angle decrease with age due to this shift.

Fids will always appear to have a more -lass % occlusion, settles into -lass 1 with continued growth. 31 here is more vertical growth occurring at the anterior of the =aws and face than in the posterior regions /mandibular ramus, etc.0 @ote that growth in the posterior region has a greater effect on the mandibular angle than an e"ual amount of growth in the anterior region. 41 here is sexual dimorphism in facial growth. Girls grow faster and stop growing at a younger age than boys, but boys show greater overall growth. --- @ote1 hese are general trends, sub=ect to lots of variation between individuals. Kariations are seen in the increments of change and the direction of mandibular growth /some people still end up in -lass % or -lass 4 occlusion.0 Kertical growth variations can also produce open bite and deep bite malocclusions. 6. -ompare and contrast mesocephalic, brachycephalic and dolichocephalic facial types. - @ote1 <acial types are classified based on bone morphologyIgrowth, cephalic index /s'ull shape, length vs width as viewed from top0, dental arch growth /and tooth eruption0, and neuromuscular changes. here are 4 <acial types. a/ 'esoce"halic5 !ost common /;*+ of faces0, ovoid shaped face, normal maxillaImandible relationship, harmonious musculature, parabolic dental arch, favorable orthodontic prognosis. b/ (rachyce"halic5 (hort wide faces, s"uare =aw /C* degree gonial angle0, mandibular growth pro=ection is more forward /less vertical growth, results in counterclockwise mandibular rotation0, overdeveloped musculature /they bite 5$,D0, and broadIs"uare dental arches.

Fnow which boney surfaces of the midface are areas of bone apposition or bone resorption. 'a0illa5 8acial9 "alatine9 and nasal growth "atterns5 @ow note in more detail what 'ind of remodeling is occurring. he whole maxillary complex is being translated forward as the maxilla moves away from the cranium. $t the same time1 he floor of the nose is a resorptive area, he roof of the mouth is an appositional area, and this also moves the bone of that area down and forward. (o the pattern of apposition and resorption serves to augment the translation of the roof of the mouth. 2ut the contour of the anterior part of the alveolar process is a resorptive area, so here removal of bone from the surface tends to cancel some of the forward growth due to translation of the entire maxilla. ,emodeling of the palatal vault /which is also the floor of the nose0 moves it in the same direction as it is being translatedG bone is removed from the floor of the nose and added to the roof of the mouth. &n the anterior surface, however, bone is removed, partially canceling the forward translation. $s the vault moves downward, the same process of bone remodeling also widens it.

Orbial floor of the !a0illa5 he periosteal surface is depository in character, and the opposite endosteal surface overlaying the maxillary sinus is resorptive. he lateral growth of the floor in each orbit moves them away from each other, thereby increasing the breadth of the nasal cavity.

:ygo!atic "rocess and the !alar area5 he forward facing anterior side of the zygomatic process forms part of the chee' bone. he periosteal surface on this anterior facing part is resorptive while its contra lateral endosteal surface is depository. he bac'ward facing posterior side is depository and the opposite endosteal surface of its cortex is resorptive. his produces a posterior growth movement of this laterally pro=ecting zygomatic process.

he posterior side of the malar protuberance is depository while the anterior surface is resorptive. his posterior enlargement maintains the relationship with posterior growing maxillary arch. he patterns of zygomatic and malar growth maintain the chee'bone in proportionate relationships to the face, =aws, and masticatory musculature.

?. 7hat movements in midfacial bones help produce crowding or impaction of maxillary canines8 he lecture slides only give a brief explanation1 - here is a mean transverse rotation of the two maxillary bones during growth. his results in the shortening of the dental arch in the midsagittal plane. E. Understand the general concepts presented in the research information that finds associations between muscle size and craniofacial development. he lecture sides are incredibly vague on this topic and the handout is completely mute. 2ased on the slides, 3 con=ecture that the evolutionary loss of large muscles of mastication allowed the homo species to develop a larger cranium. hus the larger the muscles the smaller the craniofacial development. &#9@ 23 9H 79$F
