Basic Principles of Growth
2
Bone Formation
 Embryogenesis of craniofacial skeletal tissue:
 Chondrogenesis
 Endochondral bone formation
 Intramembranous bone formation
3
 BONE FORMATION:
Inductive Signals from Epithelial and Neural Tissues
Mesenchymal Precursor Cells Condense
Chondrocytes
Osteoblasts (Flat Bones)
4
Chondrogenesis
 Formation of cartilage:
 Chondroblasts produce intercellular matrix
 Cells become encased in matrix and become
chondrocytes
 Chondrocytes enlarge, divide and produce matrix
(interstitial growth)
 New chondrocytes differentiate from surface
membrane (appositional growth)
 Matrix remains uncalcified
5
Endochondral Bone Formation
 Cartilage is converted into bone:
 Begins 9th week IUL
 Hypertrophy and death of chondrocytes
 Cartilage matrix begins to calcify
 Invasion of blood vessels and CT cells
 Osteoblasts differentiate to form osteoid matrix and
bone collar
 Osteoid tissue calcifies
 Membrane covers the bone and is essential
 Secondary Proliferation of Chondrocytes along
peripheries
6
Intramembranous Bone
Formation
 Bone formation from undifferentiated mesenchymal
tissue
 Process begins in 8th week IUL
 Osteoblasts from ectomesenchyme produce osteoid
tissue
 Cells become encased in matrix and become
osteocytes
 Blood vessels retained within spaces and develop
haversian system
 Osteocytes lose capacity to produce osteoid
 Periosteum produces more osteoid tissue
(appositional growth)
 Osteoid calcifies
 Essential membrane covers bone

 Red arrow: bone marrow cells
 Green arrow: osteocytes entrapped in bone
8
Bones formed by
Endochondral Ossification
 Mostly forms bones of the cranial base (THOMES)
 Sphenoid bone
 Parts of Occipital bone
 Ehtmoid bone
 Temporal bone
 Malleus, Incus, Stapes
 Hyoid bone
 Clinical Significance: WHY is endochondral bone
formation so necessary at the cranial base?
9
Answer:
 Cranial base is a region where PRESSURE forces
exist
 Cartilage is pressure tolerant
 Results in increase in cranial base length against
existing pressure (synchondroses)
10
Bones formed by
Intramembranous Ossification
 Mostly forms bones of the calvaria and facial
regions
 Frontal bone, Parietal bone, Parts of occipital bone
(interparietal)
 Parts of sphenoid (greater wing, pterygoid plates)
 Parts of temporal bone (squamous and tympanic)
 Maxilla, Zygoma, Lacrimal bone
 Nasal bone, Vomer
 Mandible
 Occurs mostly where mild tension forces are
present
11
Bone formation
In the mature craniofacial skeleton, there are no
qualitative differences between bone derived from
endochondral or intramembranous mechanisms
12
Terminology related to Growth
 Growth field
 Growth site
 Growth center
 Remodelling
 Cortical drift
 Displacement
13
Growth Field
 Both inner and outer surfaces of bone are covered
by an irregular pattern of “growth fields” comprised
of various soft-tissue osteogenic membranes or
cartilages
 The bone’s investing soft-tissue induces bone
growth, and may be in the form of:
 Muscles
 Mucosa
 Blood vessels
 Nerves
 Connective tissue
14
Growth Field
 Bone has depository + resorptive fields over its
surfaces (50-50)
 The varying activities and rates of growth of these
fields are the basis for the differential growth
processes that produce bones of irregular shapes
 The irregularity arises due to varied functions imposed
on the bone by articulation of sutures, muscle
attachments, insertions of teeth etc
15
Growth Site
 Growth fields having special roles in the growth of
certain particular bones are called growth sites
 These include:
 Mandibular condyle
 Maxillary tuberosity
 Sutures
 Alveolar processes
16
Growth Center
 Special growth sites that control the overall growth
of a particular bone are termed as growth centers
 The term “growth center” also implies that the “force” or
“energy” for a bone resides primarily or solely within its
growth center
 These are genetically predisposed areas
 Examples:
 Epiphyseal plates of long bones
 Synchondroses of the cranial base
17
Remodeling
 The differential growth activity involving
simultaneous deposition and resorption on all the
inner and outer surfaces of the bone
 Facial bones do not get bigger as a balloon enlarges
 Growth activity requires bone shaping
18
19
Remodeling
 This shape change is brought about by remodeling
 Remodeling:
 Basic growth process
 Provides regional changes in shape, dimensions and
proportions
 Produces regional adjustments that allow the bone to
adapt to developing functions
 Basically is a process of reshaping and resizing of
bone
20
Remodeling
 Types:
 Biochemical remodeling: continuous removal and
deposition of ions to maintain mineral homeostasis
 Growth remodeling: the constant replacement of bone
during childhood
 Haversian remodeling: secondary process of cortical
reconstruction as primary vascular bone is replaced
 Healing: the regeneration and reconstruction of bone
following pathology or trauma
21
Growth Movements:
1. Cortical Drift/Relocation
 Movement of a bone as a result of remodeling
 Growth by selective deposition and resorption
 Growth movements of the enlarging portion of the
bone towards the depository surface
 Remodeling (deposition + resorption)
 Depository surface = increase in size of bone =
enlarging portion
 Apparent growth towards that side as:
¬ deposition of bone on one side of cortical plate
¬ resorption of bone on other side

 Movement of the whole bone as a unit
 As a bone is carried away from its
articulation with other bones, growth
remodeling simultaneously maintains
relationships of the bones to each other
Growth Movements:
2. Displacement
26
Displacement
27
Types of displacement;
Primary displacement:
Secondary displacement:
28
Primary displacement:
displacement associated with
the bone’s own enlargment,
e.g. Mandibular growth

Growth Hypotheses
 1930's: Remodeling Theory (James Couper Brash)
 1940's: The Sutural Dominance Theory (Weinmann
and Sicher)
 1950's: The Nasal Septum/Cartilaginous Theory
(James Scott)
 1960’s: Functional Matrix Theory (Melvin Moss)
 1970’s: Servo-system Theory (Alexandre Petrovic)
 2000: Growth Relativity (Voudouris)
 2004: Environmental Modulation of Genetic
Inheritence (Mao & Nah)
34
THEORIES OF GROWTH
 THE GENETIC THEORY
 SICHER HYPOTHESIS (SUTURAL DOMINANCE)
 SCOTT’S HYPOTHESIS (NASAL SEPTUM)
 MOSS HYPOTHESIS (FUNCTIONAL MATRIX)
 PETROVIC HYPOTHESIS (SERVOSYSTEM)
35
THE GENETIC THEORY
Genes are blamed for normal & abnormal growth
Genetic mapping / engineering
e.g. cleido-cranial dysplasia is caused by autosomal dominant
genes (chromosome 8, at locus 8q 22)
36
SICHER SUTURAL THEORY
Connective tissue between two bones (sutures) is responsible for growth by forcing
them apart
Tissue apart force makes space to be filled by appositional growth to occur at the
borders of bones
He assumed sutures, cartilage & periosteum responsible for growth but made
sutures more responsible
Sutures in naso-maxillary complex & vault produce force as in the base of skull by
synchondrosis or epiphyseal plate in the long bones
Sicher said about mandible that it grows like cartilage by “interstitial growth” & like
epiphyseal plate by appositional growth under periosteum
37
SICHER SUTURAL THEORY
DRAWBACKS:
In untreated clefts of palate, though suture is not present, growth still
occurs
Translatory growth continues normally even in the absence or extirpation
of sutures in experimental animals
38
SCOTT’S NASAL SEPTUM/Cartilaginous THEORY
Scott found the importance of the cartilaginous portions of the head, nasal
capsule, mandible & cranial base, felt that development of these is
under intrinsic genetic control that continue postnatally
Specifically he found nasal septum (cartilage) responsible for maxillary
growth
Nasal Septum Cartilage ---- Downward and Forward displacement of Maxilla
Synchondroses ---- Elongating Cranial Base
Condylar Cartilage ---- Downward and Forward displacement of Mandible
Latham elaborated his hypothesis & found septum & septo-premaxillary
ligament responsible for naso-maxillary growth
39
MOSS FUNCTIONAL MATRIX THEORY
Moss felt that bone & cartilage lack growth determination &
grow in response to intrinsic growth of associated tissues
Genetic coding for craniofacial growth is outside the “bony
skeleton” (functional matrices)
All functions like respiration, mastication, speech etc. is
associated with bony growth
40
MOSS FUNCTIONAL MATRIX THEORY
ONE FUNCTION
FUNCTIONAL CRANIAL COMPONENT
FUNCTIONAL MATRIX SKELETAL UNIT
PERIOSTEAL MATRIX MICROSKELETAL
CAPSULAR MATRIX MACROSKELETAL
MASSES
FUNCTIONAL SPACES
41
MOSS FUNCTIONAL MATRIX THEORY
There is no direct genetic influence on the size, shape, or position of
skeletal tissues, only the initiation of ossification. All genetic
skeletogenic activity primarily depends upon the embryonic
functional matrices
The “periosteal matrix” includes, muscles that are attached to periosteum
for their action on “micro-skeletal units”
The “tooth socket / alveolar bone” resorbs when a “tooth” is extracted
“Capsular” matrix that affect “macroskeletal units”, like brain (capsule)
effects the overlying cranium
42
PETROVIC THEORY
Using the idea of cybernetics Petrovic reasoned that it is the interaction of
a series of casual change & feedback mechanisms which determines
the growth of various craniofacial regions
Cybernetics is the science of communication & control theory that is
concerned especially with the comparative study of autonomic
control systems. E.g. ANS & brain
According to Petrovic no genetically predetermined final length of
mandible was found, rather, the direction & magnitude of condylar
growth variation are perceived as quantitative responses to the
lengthening of maxilla
43
Growth Relativity (Voudouris 2000)
 It was previously thought that increased activity in the postural
masticatory muscles was the key to promoting condyle – glenoid
fossa growth. (Petrovic et al)
 Non Muscular Hypothesis: Growth modification is associated
with decreased activity.
 This premise has its foundation on 3 key specific findings
 Displacement
 Viscoelastic Forces
 Transduction
44
Environmental Modulation (Mao and Nah 2004)
Previous synthetic accounts of craniofacial
growth and development have used a “top-
down” approach - examining changes in the
length of the mandible over time and attributing
addition or subtraction of length at different
locations to bone formation or resorption.
This approach is not sufficient and might
benefit from a complementary “bottom-up"
approach to examine how cellular growth
contributes to addition and subtraction of, for
instance, the increase in mandibular length
under the influence of genes and environmental
cues.
Growth and development can only be
understood correctly and comprehensively by a
combination of both approaches.

PETROVIC THEORY Using the idea of cybernetics Petrovic reasoned that it is the interaction of a series of casual change & feedback mechanisms which determines the growth of various craniofacial regions Cybernetics is the science of communication & control theory that is concerned especially with the comparative study of autonomic control systems. E.g. ANS & brain According to Petrovic no genetically predetermined final length of mandible was found, rather, the direction & magnitude of condylar growth variation are perceived as quantitative responses to the lengthening of maxilla 43
  • 44. Growth Relativity (Voudouris 2000)  It was previously thought that increased activity in the postural masticatory muscles was the key to promoting condyle – glenoid fossa growth. (Petrovic et al)  Non Muscular Hypothesis: Growth modification is associated with decreased activity.  This premise has its foundation on 3 key specific findings  Displacement  Viscoelastic Forces  Transduction 44
  • 45. Environmental Modulation (Mao and Nah 2004) Previous synthetic accounts of craniofacial growth and development have used a “top- down” approach - examining changes in the length of the mandible over time and attributing addition or subtraction of length at different locations to bone formation or resorption. This approach is not sufficient and might benefit from a complementary “bottom-up" approach to examine how cellular growth contributes to addition and subtraction of, for instance, the increase in mandibular length under the influence of genes and environmental cues. Growth and development can only be understood correctly and comprehensively by a combination of both approaches. 45
