20. Reasons for Describing Head
and Face Shape
The growth direction
of the face and jaws
is different in each
type of head and/or
face.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
21. Reasons for Describing Head
and Face Shape
“Brachy” tends to grow horizontally;
“dolicho” tends to grow vertically.
Knowing the general pattern of growth
and the expected direction can be helpful
in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment
planning. www.indiandentalacademy.com

He was principally responsible for the
recognition of the role of growth &
development in bringing about changes in
facial proportions , the role of different
rates of growth in different parts of
face, & their influence on orthodontic
therapy

28. GROWTH STANDARDS
A single examinaton
of a growing child
is not a reliable
method of
determining the rate
& direction of
growth &
development.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
29. GROWTH STANDARDS
The amount and rate of
developmental progress
over a period of time
is of more
significance in
measuring growth than
the physical status on
a given occasion.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
30. GROWTH STANDARDS
By taking measurements
of the same child
at regular intervals the
amount of growth that
may have occurred in
the various segments
during a given time
interval can be
determined.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
31. GROWTH STANDARDS
Standards of growth &
development are cross
sectional averages of
children from diverse
groups and of varied
levels of health –
rather than of ideals
of achievements. They
are not invariable
norms applicable to
individual children
www.indiandentalacademy.com
32. SOMATOGENETIC &
MORPHOGENITIC GROWTH
• Somatogenetic growth, body growth, is
controlled by the target glands, the
thyroid, adrenals, and the gonads.
• Morphogenetic growth refers to
differentiation of cells & tissues in the
early embryo which results in establishing
the form & structure of the various organs
& parts of the body. This is controlled by
the hypophysis and anterior lobe of
pitutary.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
33. • Terminology
– Growth
– Development
• Pattern, Variability, and Timing
www.indiandentalacademy.com
35. HUXLEY:self multiplication of
living substance.
KROGMAN: increase in size, change
in proportion,& progressive
complexity
www.indiandentalacademy.com
36. Development may be
defined as the
sequence of changes
from cell
fertilization to
maturity. It
relates to cell
division, growth,
differentiation &
maturity.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
40. For a Boy
Puberty for a boy usually starts with
enlargement of the testicles and sprouting
of pubic hair, followed by a growth spurt
between ages 10 and 16 - on average 1 to 2
years later than when girls start.
His arms, legs, hands, and feet also grow
faster than the rest of his body.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
41. His body shape will begin to change
as his shoulders broaden and he gains
weight and muscle.
And that first crack in the voice is
a sign that his voice is changing and
will become deeper.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
42. For a Girl
Puberty generally starts earlier for a
girl, some time between 8 and 13 years of
age.
For most girls, the first evidence of
puberty is breast development and the
growth of pubic hair.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
43. These first signs of puberty are
followed 1 or 2 years later by a
growth spurt.
Her body will begin to build up fat,
and she will take on the contours of
a woman as her hips get wider and her
breasts enlarge.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
44. The culminating event will be the
arrival of menarche, her first
period.
Girls usually get their first period
between the ages of 9 and 16.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
45. Acne, which is considered a common
part of puberty.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
48. Doctors use growth charts to compare a
child's measurements with those of
other children his age.
This helps the doctors determine
whether a child's growth is adequate.
Boys and girls are plotted on different
charts because their growth rates and
patterns differ.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
49. For both boys and girls there are two
sets of standard charts:
one for infants ages 0 to 36 months and
another for children ages 2 to 18 years.
The charts are a series of percentile
curves that show the distribution of
growth measurements of children from
across the country.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
50. What Can the Charts Tell Us About Child's Growth?
www.indiandentalacademy.com
51. What Can the Charts Tell Us
About Child's Growth?
Although growth charts are valuable tools, both
doctors and parents must be careful not to focus too
much on any one reading. Instead, the numbers
should be viewed as a trend. Any measurement,
taken out of context of the others, might give you the
wrong impression of your child's growth. For
example, a child's height measurement might place
him at the 5th percentile, but this usually doesn't
indicate a growth problem if his subsequent
measurements continue to track along that
percentile curve (as might be the case for a child
who has inherited "short genes" from his parents). If
the doctor and parents fixate on that one
measurement, however, they might wrongly worry
about the child's growth.

58. CONCEPT OF NORMALITY &
GROWTH
Normality & variation:
The need for orthodontic treatment
arises primarily because of
morphologic, spatial & functional
deviation of teeth & jaws beyond the
limits of normality.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
59. CONCEPT OF NORMALITY &
GROWTH
normal growth for any individual
organism is growth which follows the
estabilished type for the species.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
60. CONCEPT OF NORMALITY &
GROWTH
Normal growth is not the average of a
number of individuals but a wide
range in which healthy individuals
vary in specific charecteristics but
maintain their common identity.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
61. Pattern vs.. Variability
• Normal growth pattern
ex) Changes in overall body proportions
Cephalocaudal gradient of growth

71. THE MIDDLE PHALANX OF THE THIRD
FINGER
Hägg and Taranger noted that the stages of
ossification of the middle phalanx of the
third finger of the hand (MP3 stages)
follow the pubertal growth spurt.
• --------------------------------
The MP3 stages are five stages representing
the different stages of the pubertal growth
spurt from onset to end.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
72. Hägg and Taranger
• MP3-F stage (onset or
start of the curve of
pubertal growth spurt);
epiphysis is as wide as
metaphysis.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
73. • MP3-FG stage
(acceleration part of the
curve of pubertal growth
spurt); epiphysis is as wide
as the metaphysis and
there is a distinct medial
and/or lateral border of the
epiphysis forming a line of
demarcation at right angle
to the distal border.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
74. MP3-G stage (peak-PTV,
the point of maximum
pubertal growth spurt);
sides of the epiphysis
have thickened and cap
its metaphysis forming a
sharp edge distally at
one or both sides.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
75. • MP3-H stage
(deceleration part of
the curve of
pubertal growth
spurt); fusion of
epiphysis and
metaphysis has
begun.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
76. • MP3-I stage (end of
pubertal growth
spurt); fusion of
epiphysis and
metaphysis is
completed.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
77. STAGES OF CERVICAL VERTEBRAL MATURATION.
( Hassel Farman)
www.indiandentalacademy.com
78. Six categories of cervical vertebrae
skeletal maturation could be
defined,
1) INITIATION 4) DECELARATION
2) ACCELARATION 5) MATURATION
3) TRANSITION 6) COMPLETION
and the following observations were
made for each category.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
79. INITIATION:
All inferior borders of
the bodies are flat.
The superior borders
are strongly tapered
from posterior to
anterior.
• 80% to 100% of
adolescent growth was
expected.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
80. ACCELARATION
A concavity has
developed in the
inferior border of the
2nd vertebra. The
anterior vertical
heights of the bodies
have increased.
• 65% to 85% of
adolescent growth
expected.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
81. TRANSITION.
Distinct concavities
were seen in the
inferior borders of C2
and C3. A concavity was
beginning to develop in
the inferior border of C4.
25% to 65% of adolescent
growth expected.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
82. DECELERATION.
Distinct concavities
were seen in the
inferior borders of
C2, C3, and C4. The
vertebral bodies of C3
and C4 were becoming
more square in shape.
10% to 25% of
adolescent growth
expected.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
83. MATURATION.
More accentuated concavities
were seen in the inferior
borders of C2,C3,and C4. The
bodies of C3 and C4 were
nearly square to square in
shape.
Final maturation of the
vertebrae took place during
this stage, with 5% to 10%
of adolescent growth
expected.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
84. COMPLETION.
Deep concavities were seen
in the inferior borders of
C2, C3, and C4. The bodies
of C3 and C4 were square or
were greater in vertical
dimension than in
horizontal dimension.
Growth was considered to
be complete at this stage.
Little or no adolescent
growth was expected.

93. • Q. Why is the growth spurt at puberty so
important in orthodontics?
• A. This is the time when most of the
development of the face occurs. Treatment
during this time allows the orthodontist to
favorably influence the facial profile in a growing
child. Once growth of the facial bones in
complete, correction of skeletal discrepancies
usually requires surgery.
