Q

A

specialized fibrous joints situated between intra membranous bone

Q

How does growth occur at the synchondroses

A

it is a cartilage-based growth centre with growth occurring in both directions
the bones on either side of the synchondrosis are moved apart as growth takes place
new cartilage is formed in the centre of a synchondrosis as cartilage at the periphery’s transformed into bone

Q

What is surface deposition

A

new bone is deposited beneath the periosteum over the surfaces of both cranial and facial bones
in order for the bones to maintain their shape as they grow, resorption is also taking place

Q

What are the 2 ways growth of cranial vault occurs

A

bone growth at sutures

external and internal surfaces are remodeled through surface deposition and resorption to displace the bones radially

generally more pronounced in males

Q

Where do fontanelles exist

A

where more than 2 bones meet
6 fontanelles are present at birth and these close by the age of 18 months

when facial growth is complete, all of the sutures fuse

Q

When does the sphenoid-occipital synchondrosis close

Study These Flashcards
A

at around 13-15 years in females and 15-17 years in males

24
Q

When does the sphenoid-occipital synchondroses fuses

Study These Flashcards
A

at around 20 years

25
What does growth of cranial base between 4-20 year result in
overall increase in length of the cranial base
26
When does the anterior cranial base become stable
around 4 YO has been used for superimposition in cephalometric analysis this allows the orthodontist to assess skeletal changes due to growth and / or treatment
27
Why is the cranial base so important for ortho
it plays a role a role in determining how the maxilla and mandible relate to each other the shape or angle of the cranial base effects the jaw relationship
28
What does a small angle of the cranial base result in
more likely to be associated w class III
29
What does a large angle of the cranial base result in
more likely to be associated w class II
30
What does the maxilla/nasomaxillary complex include
orbits nasal cavity upper jaw zygomatic processes
31
What is displacement
when a mass of bone is moved relative to its neighbor is brought about by focus exerted by the soft tissues and by intrinsic growth of bone itself
32
How is the mandible displaced
downwards and forwards relative to anterior cranial base
33
What is rate of growth of maxilla
follows neural growth of brain | slows down at age 7
34
What does forward displacement of maxillary complex create
space posteriorly for development of maxillary tuber-sixties and space for eruption of molar teeth
35
Where does sutural growth take place
at zygomatic and frontal bones and mid palatine suture
36
What is surface deposition and resorption in the maxilla
deposition on the lower border of the hard palate and alveolar processes and resorption on floor of nasal cavity and the floor of the orbits
37
How do both the mandible and maxilla slow
width slows first then length then height
38
What are differences in growth in length of mandible and maxilla
increase in length by 26mm in males and 20mm in females between ages 4-20 in MANDIBLE increase in length by 8mm in males and 5.5mm in females between ages 4-20 in MAXILLA
39
What is the difference in rate of growth in mandible and maxilla
growth accelerates significantly during pubertal growth spurt in mandible at age 7 years, growth of maxilla proceeds very slowly
40
What is the difference in growth slowing in mandible and maxilla
in mandible growth slows to adult level around age of 17 in F and 19 in M in maxilla growth slots to adult levels at around 12
41
What are the theories of craniofacial growth
remodeling theory sutural theory cartilaginous theory functional matrix theory
42
What is the remodeling theory
Everything just grows by a process of deposition and resorption The sutures and cartilages do not exert an intrinsic force
43
What is the sutural theory
growth occurs at the sutures and cartilages but the growth at the sutures is the prime factor
44
What is the cartilaginous theory
the cartilages i.e nasal septal cartilages and synchondrosis generate the force to developmthe bones in a specific direction
45
What is the functional matrix theory
growth occurs in response to individual units which are developed to provide a function ``` each unit (functional matrix) is composed of tissue organs and spaces thus its the force exerted by the growing soft tissues that determines the direction and extent of growth ```
46
What are the recent views on the control of growth
combo of genetic and environmental influences involved growth in one part of skull influences anotehr
47
What are the primary cartilage control on growth
primary cartilages of cranial base and nasal septum have intrinsic growth potential and exert a genetic influence over growth
48
What are the condylar cartilage control on growth
it seems to act differently | controversy exists as to whether its a primary growth force or purely adaptive
49
What is the impact of growth on malocclusion
can improve or worsen malocclusion
50
How can growth be utilized by orthodontic for tx outcome
use of functional appliance use of rapid maxillary expansion use of protraction head gear
51
If there is a continued unfoavourable growth pattern what is the impact on ortho tx
relapse can occur
52
What is adult facial growth like
continues through life growth in length of face continues into early 20s in males, late teens in females tendency to increased overall length and prominence of nose and chin (and forehead in men) lips become thinner and more recursive (soft tissue changes)
53
What is a growth rotation
due to imbalance in growth of anterior and posterior face heights
54
What does forward growth rotation lead to
short face | can lead to development of deep bite
55
What does backward growth rotation lead to
long face | can lead to anterior open bite
56
What is adverse growth
continued growth when there is a significant growth rotation that can make malocclusion worse
