INTRODUCTION
 Mandible Is the Largest Bone in The Human Skull, which holds the Lower
Teeth in Place.
 It helps in mastication and forms the lower jawline.
 It is a horse shoe shaped / ‘U’ shaped bone composed of bilaterally
symmetrical entries which are fused in the midline at the symphyseal area.
 It supports the lower set of teeth and with the temporal bone forms a
movable joint- the temporomandibular joint .

ANATOMY OF MANDIBLE
 The body of mandible is divided into:
A. External surface
B. Internal surface
C. Upper border
D. Lower border
BD Chaurasias Human Anatomy of dental students
EMBRIOLOGY OF MANDIBLE
 The mandible or lower jaw, develops through several stages during embryogenesis-
 At the sixth week of life, a single ossification center for each half of the mandible forms
lateral to Meckel’s cartilage at the bifurcation of the inferior alveolar nerve and artery into its
mental and incisive branches.
Textbook of Paediatric dentistry SG DAMLE
STAGES
 Around 4th
week of intrauterine line, a prominent bulge appears on the
ventral aspect of embryo.
 Below this bulge a shallow depression called stomodeum appears.
 By around fourth week of IUL 5 branchial arches form in the region of
future head and neck.
 Each arch give rise to muscles, connective tissue, vasculature, skeletal
components and neural component of the future face.
 The first branchial arche is called the mandibular arch and plays an
important role in the development of mandible.
Pediatric dentistry principles and practice second edition ,MS Muthu,N Sivakumar
Textbook of pediatric dentistry SG DAMLE
 The mandibular arch forms the lateral wall of the stomodeum.
 It gives off bud form the dorsal end which is maxillary process, and
grows ventri-medially, cranial to main part of the arch called mandibular
process.
 Mandibular process on both sides grows towards each other and fuse in
the midline.
 They form the lower border of stomodeum-the lower lip and lower jaw.

A) PRENATAL GROWTH OF MANDIBLE
 About the fourth week of intrauterine life, the pharyngeal arches are laid down
 The first arch is called mandibular arch and the second d arch is called hy0id arch.
 Each arch contains
a) A central cartilage
b) Muscular component
c) Avascular component
d) Neural element

Meckel’s cartilage
 It was first described by German anatomist Johann Friedrich Meckel in the year 1820
 This is the cartilage rod that runs along the ear to the mid line
 By seventh week, it is seen in a paired cartilage surrounded by pericardium with the
cartilage of opposite sides separated by mesenchymal tissue in between
 The first structure to develop in the primordium of the lower jaw in the mandibular
division of the trigeminal nerve which induces osteogenesis by the process of
neurotropism
 this is then followed by ectomesenchyme condensation in the area of lower jaw

 Mandible ossifies by the process of intramembranous ossification expect condylar process,
coronial process and symphysis mantis which develops from secondary cartilage.
 A primary ossification center appears in the surrounding mesenchymal tissue at the region of
bifurcation of the inferior Alveolar nerve in to mental and incisive branches
 The mandibular bone plate then extends downwards, backwards and forwards by the process
of intramembranous ossification
 Between the 8th
and 12 week the mandibular growth accelerates and the mandibular length
increases and the ossification stops at the point which form the lingula.
Textbook of pediatric dentistry, SG Damle
Formation of secondary cartilage
 It appears between the tenth to 14th
week to form the head of condyle, part of coronoid process and
mental protuberances, where endochondral ossification takes place.
 The condylar cartilage is initially cone shaped which is subsequently replaced by bone except for the
upper end which persist as a growth cartilage
 The coronoid process and mental process ossifies completely
Textbook of pediatric dentistry,SG Damle
Remnants of Meckel’s cartilage
 In the embryo’s between 13th
and 16th
week, chondrocytes can be identified and degenerates the
Meckel’s cartilage eventually
 According to its fate, this cartilage can be divided into
A. Proximal/ posterior end – malleus and incus
B. Intermediate/central
1. Posterior end : Anterior ligament of malleus and sphenomandibular ligament
Anterior end – resorption ,Apoptosis Distal/Anterior End: Mandibular symphysis
Ossification of Mandible
Two types of ossification
Intramembranous ossification -body of mandible except anterior part + coronoid process +condylar
process
Endochondral symphysis of mandible- Ramus above mandibular foramen+coronoid
process+condylar process
Pediatric dentistry principles and practice second edition MS Muthu,N Sivakumar
1. Intramembranous bone formation:-
 At around 36-38 days of intrauterine life there is ectomesenchyme condensation
 Some mesenchymal cells enlarges, acquire a basophilic cytoplasm and form osteoblasts
 These osteoblasts secrete a gelatinous matrix called osteoid and result in ossification of an
osteogenic membrane.
 The resulting intramembranous bone lies lateral to meckel’s cartilage of the first mandibular
arch
 In the 6 th week of intrauterine life a single ossification centre for each half of the mandible
arises in the bifurcation of inferior alveolar nerve into mental and incisive branches.
Textbook of pediatric dentistry SG Damle
Principles and practice of pedodontics ,Arati rao
 During 7 th week of intrauterine life bone begin to develop lateral to meckel’s cartilage and
continuous until the posterior aspect is covered with bone .
 Between 8th
and 12th
week of intrauterine life mandibular growth accelerate and,as a result
mandibular length increases.
 Ossification stops at a point which later become mandibular lingula and the remaining part
of Meckel’s cartilage continous to form sphenomandibular ligament and spinous process of
sphenoid.
 Secondary accessory cartilage appear between tenth and 14 th week of IUL to form head of
condyle ,coronoid process and mental protuberance.

Endochondral Bone Formation
Endochondral bone formation seen in three areas of mandible
1)condylar process
2)Coronoid process
3)mental process
The Condylar Process
 At fifth week of IUL an area of mesenchymal condensation is seen
above the ventral part of developing mandible.
 At about 10 th week it develops, is cone shaped cartilage
 It migrates inferior and fuses with mandibular ramus at about 4
months
 This cone shaped cartilage is replaced by bone and upper end persists
acting on growth cartilage and articular cartilage
Textbook of pediatric dentistry SG Damle
Principles and practice of pedodontics ,Arati rao
Pediatric dentistry principles and practice second edition MS Muthu, N sivakumar
The Coronoid Process
 The secondary accessory cartilage appears in the region of coronoid process at about 10-
14 week of IUL
 This cartilage become incorporated into expanding intramembranous bone of ramus and
disappear before birth
The Mental Region
 In mental region , on either sides of symphysis, one or two small cartilage appears and
ossify in the seventh week of IUL to become mental ossicles.
 These ossicles become incorporated into intramembranous bone when symphysis ossify
completely
Textbook of pediatric dentistry SG Damle
Principles and practice of pedodontics ,Arati rao
POSTNATAL GROWTH OF MANDIBLE
 Mandible undergoes largest amount and longest period of post natal growth
 In accordance with the cephalo caudal gradient of growth ,mandible exhibits largest variability in
morphology.
 The mandible moves forwards and backwards directions
 At the line of birth mandible is made up of 2 halves separated in middle by symphyseal cartilage
which is replaced by bone between 4 months to 1 year of postnatal life.
 There is minimal condylar development with almost absent ventricular eminence with short
mandibular ramus
 Mandible can be functionally and developmentally divided into several subunits

MS Muthu, N Sivakumar
Scott’s classification
Scott’s classified the mandible into 3 parts
Ramus
Heavy appositional growth occurs in the posterior borders of ramus and alveolar border along with
resection in the anterior border of ramus
 It helps in Maintaining antero- posterior dimension of the ramus during growth and lengthening the
mandibular body in order to accommodate erupting molars, pharyngeal spaces and masticatory
muscles
 If the vertical section is taken through posterior ramus and the coronoid process a ,characteristic
growth pattern occurs which involves periosteal deposition on the lingual surface and removal on
the buccal surface in the superior part
Textbook of pediatric dentistry SG DAMLE
Basal part deposition on buccal surface and
resorption on the lingual surface
Body of Mandible
 The displacement of the ramus in the posterior region
once occupied by the ramal bone converts to the
posterior part of the body of mandible
Textbook of pediatric dentistry SG DAMLE
Principles and practice of pedodontics, Arati rao
Pediatric dentistry principles and practice second edition ,MS Muthu,N Sivakumar
Alveolar process
 Develops in response to the growing dentition
 Continued growth of alveolar bone increases the height of mandibular body
 Alveolar process grows upwards and outwards to accommodate the larger
permanent teeth
 The mental framing does not show much change after 6 years of life
Chin
 With age ,the chin becomes more prominent with recaption in the alveolar
region below the lower incisors which increases deposition in the mental
protuberance
Textbook of pediatric dentistry SG DAMLE
Principles and practice of pedodontics ,Arati rao
Pediatric dentistry prianciples and practice second edition ,MS Muthu,N Sivakumar
ANGLE
Buccal side
 Reception on the anterior -superior
 Deposition on the postero-inferior region
LINGUAL SIDE
 Deposition in the antero-superior part
 Resorption on the postero-inferior region
CONDYLE
 The Growth of Condyle is Endochondral In Nature
 Identified in a secondary cartilage in terms of appearance and growth capacity
Textbook of pediatric dentistry SG DAMLE
Principles and practice of pedodontics, Arati rao
Pediatric dentistry principles and practice second edition,MS Muthu N Sivakumar
AGE CHANGES IN MANDIBLE
In infants
 Condyloid process is in line with body
 Coronoid process is large in size and above the level of condyle Large mandibular canals
 Mental foramen opens below the socket of deciduous molar tooth
 Mandibular angle is obtuse
In children
 Body become large in whole length
 Two halves of mandible fuse at the symphysis during first year of life
 Mandibular canal situated above the level of mylohyoid line
 Mental foramen opens below the sockets for deciduous molar teeth near lower border
 Coronoid process is large and projects upwards above the level of condyle
Textbook of pediatric dentistry SG DAMLE
Principles and practice of pedodontics ,Arati rao
In adults
 Body divided into alveolar and sub- alveolar parts
 Mandibular canals runs parallel with mylohyoid line
 Mental foramen opens midway between upper and lower borders
In old age
 Body becomes greatly reduced in size
 Because of loss of teeth ,the alveolar process is absorbed and height of body is markedly
reduced
 Mental foramen and mandibular canal are close to the alveolar border
 The angle becomes obtuse about 1400.

CLINICAL CONSIDERATIONS
 The mandible is commonly fractured at the canine socket where it is weak ,followed by
fracture of mandible at the angle and neck of mandible
 Involvement of inferior alveolar nerve in the callus may cause neuralgic pain, if
the nerve is paralysed ,the areas supplied by this nerve Becomes incentive
 Developmental disturbances include agnathia ,micrognatia,facial
hemihypertrophy,hemiatrophy,abnormalities of dental relation, developmental cysts like
median mandibular cyst and alveolar cyst of newborn
 Dislocation of mandible is most frequently in the posterior direction
 As the mandible progressively changes over an individuals life ,it is routinely used to
determine the age of the decreased in forensic medicine
Developmental Disturbances
 Agnathia
 Micrognathia
 Macrognathia
 Facial hemihypertrophy
 Facial hemiatrophy
 Abnormalities of dental arch relation
 Developmental cyst
 Median mandibular cyst
 Alveolar cyst of newborn
AGNATHIA
 Hypoplasia or absence of mandible.
 The entire mandible or one side may be missing or only the condyle or
the entire ramus.
MICROGNATHIA
 Abnormally large jaws.
 Factors favoring mandibular prognathism.
 Increased height of ramus
 Increased mandibular body length.
 Increased gonial angle.
FACIAL HEMIATROPHY
 The progressive wasting of subcutaneous fat accomplished by atophy of
skin ,cartilage ,bone and muscle.
ABNORMALITIES OF DENTALARCH
 CLASS 1
 CLASS 2
 CLASS 3
DEVELOPMENTAL CYST
 Median mandibular Cyst
 Orginate from proliferation of epithelial remanats entrapped in the median mandibular
fissure during fusion of the bilateral mandibular arches.
 Primordial cyst originating from a supernumerary enamel organ in the anterior
mandibular segment.
ALVEOLAR CYST OF NEWBORN
 All the events taking place during development of mandible play an important role in
determining the final stuucture of mandible, any deviation of can lead to various
abnormalities in the orofacial region.
CONCLUSION
All the events taking place during development of mandible play an important role in
determining the final structure of mandible, any deviation of which can give rise to various
abnormalities in the orofacial region

ANGLE Buccal side  Reception on the anterior -superior  Deposition on the postero-inferior region LINGUAL SIDE  Deposition in the antero-superior part  Resorption on the postero-inferior region CONDYLE  The Growth of Condyle is Endochondral In Nature  Identified in a secondary cartilage in terms of appearance and growth capacity Textbook of pediatric dentistry SG DAMLE Principles and practice of pedodontics, Arati rao Pediatric dentistry principles and practice second edition,MS Muthu N Sivakumar
  • 24. AGE CHANGES IN MANDIBLE In infants  Condyloid process is in line with body  Coronoid process is large in size and above the level of condyle Large mandibular canals  Mental foramen opens below the socket of deciduous molar tooth  Mandibular angle is obtuse In children  Body become large in whole length  Two halves of mandible fuse at the symphysis during first year of life  Mandibular canal situated above the level of mylohyoid line  Mental foramen opens below the sockets for deciduous molar teeth near lower border  Coronoid process is large and projects upwards above the level of condyle Textbook of pediatric dentistry SG DAMLE Principles and practice of pedodontics ,Arati rao
  • 25. In adults  Body divided into alveolar and sub- alveolar parts  Mandibular canals runs parallel with mylohyoid line  Mental foramen opens midway between upper and lower borders In old age  Body becomes greatly reduced in size  Because of loss of teeth ,the alveolar process is absorbed and height of body is markedly reduced  Mental foramen and mandibular canal are close to the alveolar border  The angle becomes obtuse about 1400.

  • 27. CLINICAL CONSIDERATIONS  The mandible is commonly fractured at the canine socket where it is weak ,followed by fracture of mandible at the angle and neck of mandible  Involvement of inferior alveolar nerve in the callus may cause neuralgic pain, if the nerve is paralysed ,the areas supplied by this nerve Becomes incentive  Developmental disturbances include agnathia ,micrognatia,facial hemihypertrophy,hemiatrophy,abnormalities of dental relation, developmental cysts like median mandibular cyst and alveolar cyst of newborn  Dislocation of mandible is most frequently in the posterior direction  As the mandible progressively changes over an individuals life ,it is routinely used to determine the age of the decreased in forensic medicine
  • 28. Developmental Disturbances  Agnathia  Micrognathia  Macrognathia  Facial hemihypertrophy  Facial hemiatrophy  Abnormalities of dental arch relation  Developmental cyst  Median mandibular cyst  Alveolar cyst of newborn
  • 29. AGNATHIA  Hypoplasia or absence of mandible.  The entire mandible or one side may be missing or only the condyle or the entire ramus.
  • 30. MICROGNATHIA  Abnormally large jaws.  Factors favoring mandibular prognathism.  Increased height of ramus  Increased mandibular body length.  Increased gonial angle.
  • 31. FACIAL HEMIATROPHY  The progressive wasting of subcutaneous fat accomplished by atophy of skin ,cartilage ,bone and muscle.
  • 32. ABNORMALITIES OF DENTALARCH  CLASS 1  CLASS 2  CLASS 3
  • 33. DEVELOPMENTAL CYST  Median mandibular Cyst  Orginate from proliferation of epithelial remanats entrapped in the median mandibular fissure during fusion of the bilateral mandibular arches.  Primordial cyst originating from a supernumerary enamel organ in the anterior mandibular segment.
