36. Post-Natal Growth
Synchondrosis
Sutures
Sarnat, Burdi, Baume, Petrovic etc.
Also explains why growth of cranial base is less
influenced by brain growth than growth of Cranial
vault - Van Limborgh
www.indiandentalacademy.com
37. Post-Natal Growth
Moss’ explanation for brain growth controlling growth
of the cranium…
Hydrocephalus, synostosis
www.indiandentalacademy.com
39. Post-Natal Growth
Van Limborgh's Summarization:1.
Intrinsic control of growth is exhibited at synchondroses
2.
Intrinsic control of sutural growth is less
3.
Synchondroses should be considered as Growth centre
4.
Sutural growth controlled by both cartilaginous growth and
growth of other structures.
5.
Periosteal bone growth (vault) controlled epigenetically by
adjacent structures
6.
Growth of cranial vault also controlled by local
environmental factors (muscle forces inclusive)

50. Clinical Implications
Various conditions – cretinism, progeria, trisomy
21, cleidocranial dysostosis, Anterior fontanelles remain open
Bossing of forehead
Brachycephalic skull
www.indiandentalacademy.com
51. Clinical Implications
Herniation of dura mater into the nose
Dura remains in contact with the ectoderm in the
region of the anterior neuropore.
Ventral bending of the fronto-nasal process brings
this junction close to the future nose.
Nasal capsule forms around this, and the junction
sinks forming the foramen caecum
www.indiandentalacademy.com
52. Clinical Implications
The dura then separates from the ectoderm, and
foramen caecum closes.
If this foramen fails to close, dura can herniate in to
the nose.
Also formation of dermoid cysts, sinus or
encephalocele.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
56. Cranial Base
Reasonably stable reference structure in
cephalometric analysis
Basis to compare and understand abnormal
growth patterns

Its antero medial part split into 2 laminae
FRONTAL SINUS
www.indiandentalacademy.com
63. MIDDLE CRANIAL FOSSA

95. PRE NATAL GROWTH
Highly Uneven
Anterior cranial base increases its length
and width by 7 folds between the 10th and
40thweek of I.U life
Posterior cranial base grows only 5 fold
www.indiandentalacademy.com
96. POSTNATAL GROWTH
EXPANTION of cranial base occurs by
Growth of the cartilage remnants of the
chondrocranium- basicranial bones
Forces from growing brain
www.indiandentalacademy.com
97. POSTNATAL GROWTH
Cranial base acts as a template from which the face
develops
The endocranial surface of the basicranium is
resorptive in most areas
Remodeling is required to accommodate the
massively enlarged human brain
www.indiandentalacademy.com
99. POSTNATAL GROWTH
Endocranial compartments- separated by bony elevations
• Middle & posterior fossae – petrous elevation
•
Olfactory fossae – crista galli
•
Right & left middle fossae – Sphenoidal elevation
•
Right & left anterior & posterior fossae – Longitudinal
midline bony ridge
www.indiandentalacademy.com
100. POSTNATAL GROWTH
Fossa expands outward by resorption,
Partitions between them enlarge inward by
deposition
www.indiandentalacademy.com
101. POSTNATAL GROWTH
The mid ventral segments of cranial base grows more
slowly to accommodate the medulla, pons,
hypothalamus & optic chiasma
Foramen
Drift process
Spinal Cord
Defferential remodelling
www.indiandentalacademy.com
104. POSTNATAL GROWTH

and 14-15 years in boys and
ossifies at 20 years of age

between ant and middle cranial fossa

completes by 5years.
Temporal lobes
continue to enlarge for
several more years and
displaces the frontal
lobe forward.

110. Cranial base growth for Dutch boys
and girls –Monique Henneberke &
Birte Prahl Andersen (AJO 1994)
Hypothesis that there is no difference in the cranial
base growth between children with or without ortho
treatment- was tested
S-N 153(boys)and 167 (girls)
N-Ba and S-Ba 116 (boys) and 116 (girls), 7-14 yrs
Mixed longitudinal study
www.indiandentalacademy.com
111. RESULTS
1.
The effect of orthodontic therapy on cranial base
was not significant
2.
The cranial base displayed sexual dimorphism in
absolute size, timing and amount of growth.
3.
Girls did not show growth spurts where as boys
showed growth spurts for S-N and N-Ba.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
112. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS

the nose
Relative midface deficiency
www.indiandentalacademy.com
114. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS
Premature ossification or synostosis of
the suture between the presphaenoid and
postsphenoid parts of the spheno-occipital suture
- depressed nasal bridge and dished face
www.indiandentalacademy.com
115. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS

girdle
www.indiandentalacademy.com
117. Abnormalities Of Cleidocranial Disostosis –
Kreiborg,bjork& Skeiller (AJOMay; 1981 )
KREIBORG,BJORK & SKIELLER conducted a qualitative
screening for abnormal morphological traits in the cranial
base. (8 males & 9 females)
RESULTS
The anterior and posterior cranial base was shorter and the
cranial angle smaller in the syndrome groups
Patients shown small pituitary fossae and bulbous dorsum
sellae
The amount of bone resorption was lesser than normal.
