5. GROWTH
TODD: GROWTH IS INCREASING IN SIZE.
PROFITT: GROWTH IS INCREASE IN SIZE OR
NUMBER.
Growth is a dynamic process with a stable pattern
of changes resulting in the increase in physical
size and mass during it’s course of development.
Thus, growth is a three-fold process “SELFMULTIPLICATION,DIFFERENTIATION,ORGAN
IZATION” each according to it’s own kind.A
fourth dimension is TIME.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
6. DEFINITIONS OF DEVELOPMENT:
Todd:
“Development is progress towards
maturity”.
Moyers : “Development refers to all the
naturally occurring unidirectional changes in the
life of an individual from its existence as a
single cell to its elaboration as a multifunctional
unit terminating in death. Thus, it encompasses
the
normal
sequential
events
between
fertilization and death”
www.indiandentalacademy.com
8.
The first important feature of growth
corresponds to Pattern
It reflects proportionality
The physical arrangement of the body at
any one time is a pattern of spatially
proportional parts.
There is higher level pattern of growth
which refers to changes in these spatial
proportions over time.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
9. NORMAL GROWTH PATTERN: Not all tissue
systems of the body grow at the same rate.Muscular and
skeletal elements grow faster than the brain and CNS.
PREDICTABILITY:
The proportional relationships can be specified
mathematically and the difference between a growth
pattern is the addition of a time dimension.
VARIABILITY :
Variability in growth and development can be expressed
quantitatively to categorize people as normal or abnormal.
It is usually assessed with peer group of children.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
10. TIMING
Its final major concept in physical growth &
development
Variation in timing arises because the same event
happens for different individuals at different TIME
The biologic clocks of different individuals are set
differently.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
11. Cephalocaudal Gradient of Growth
Fetal head size - 50% of total body length.
Head&face size - 30%
Adult head size - 12%
www.indiandentalacademy.com
12. Ceph – head
Caudal-feet
this simply means increase in
growth from head to feet
www.indiandentalacademy.com
13.
Changes in head and face during growth
www.indiandentalacademy.com
15. RHYTHM AND GROWTH SPURTS
The rate of growth is most rapid at
beginning of cellular differentiation
which increases until birth and
decreases thereafter*
Postnatally growth does not occur in
a steady manner. There are periods
of sudden rapid increases which are
termed as growth spurts.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
16.
Three types of growth spurts
Name of Spurt
1. Infantile / childhood growth
spurt
Female
3 years
Male
3 years
2. Mixed dentition /Juvenile growth 6-7 years
spurt
7-9 years
3. Prepubertal / adolescent growth
spurt
14-15
years
11-12 years
www.indiandentalacademy.com
17. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF
GROWTH SPURTS
1.
2.
3.
Differentiate growth changes are
normal or pathologic
Treatment of skeletal discrepancies
is more advantages in mixed
dentition period
Pubertal growth spurt offers the
best time in cases like
predictability, treatment direction,
time and management.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
18. 4. Arch expansion is carried out during the
maximum growth period.
5. Orthognathic surgery should be carried
after growth ceases.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
19. GROWTH MODIFICATION
TREATMENT
It is procedure of INTERCEPTIVE
ORTHODONTICS
Definition:
“It has been defined as that phase of the
science and art of orthodontics employed
to recognize and eliminate potential
irregularities and malpositions of the
developing dento-facial complex”.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
20. Diagnostic Procedures
Clinical Examinations :
The physical status or the build, height &
weight are measured and accordingly the
body types can be divided into
Ectomorphic –tall and thin physique
Endomorphic –average physique
Mesomorphic –short and obese physique
Extra oral Examination:
Size and shape of Head
Dolicocephalic-long and narrow head
Mesocephalic-average head shape
Brachycephalic-broad and short head shape
www.indiandentalacademy.com
21. 2. The form of face :
Mesoprosopic-average or normal facial form
Euryprosopic-broad and normal facial form
Leptoprosopic-long and narrow facial form
Facial profile and divergence :
To establish this the patient has to be placed in a
natural head position.
Convex profile – Skeletal class II malocclusion.
Concave profile – Skeletal class III malocclusion.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
22.
Divergence:
“Divergence of the face is defined as
an anterior or posterior inclination of the
lower face in relation to forehead”
•
3 types of facial divergence
It is purely influenced by ethnic or racial
background
www.indiandentalacademy.com
23. VISUAL TREATMENT OBJECTIVE
THE VISUAL TREATMENT OBJECTIVE {VTO} REPRESENTS A
“CEPHALOMETRIC SETUP” WHICH INCLUDES THE EXPECTED
GROWTH AND TREATMENT CHANGES AS PROJECTED FROM THE
ORIGINAL MALOCCLUSION AND FACIAL MORPHOLOGY.
This treatment forecast was developed by Ricketts and
named by Holdaway.
VTO is a treatment design procedure that
1.Changes the areas due to normal growth,the cranial base,
chin and maxilla.
2.Changes the areas affected by orthopaedic alteration.
3.Visualises the orthodontic movement of the teeth within
the jaws to a more normal relationship.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
24.
Treatment for a growing patient must be
planned and directed to the face and
structure that can be anticipated in the
future.
The VTO forecast is valuable for
orthodontists self improvement, in that it
permits him to set his goals in advance.
Identification of discrepancies between
goals and results provide him with
objective picture through which his
treatment could be improved.

26. FUNCATIONAL ANALYSIS
Postural rest position
In order to determine the postural rest position
the patients orofacial musculature must be
relaxed.
Muscle exercises like the tapping test can be
1.
2.
used to relax the mandible*
The moment of the mandible from the rest
position to full articulation is analysed in 3
planes of space ,this closing movement of the
mandible can be divided into 2 phases.
Free phase.
Articular phase*
www.indiandentalacademy.com
28.
a.
b.
c.
For complete functional
examination the following
condition should be differentiated
Pure rotation.
Rotation movement with anterior
sliding component.
Rotation movement with posterior
sliding component.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
29.
For example: A class II Malocclusion can manifest in
3 ways.
Firstly when the mandible moves from rest to
occlusion without any deviation. It means that
neuromuscular and morphologic relationship
correspond to each other. As there is no functional
disturbances it is a true class II Malocclusion.
Secondly when there is a anterior gliding
component. It means that the mandible slides
forward into habitual occlusion hence class II Mal
relationship is actually more severe than what you
see.
Thirdly: Where there is a posterior gliding
component. The mandible glides backwards into a
class II occlusion and it is not true class II
malocclusion.

Vertical Relationship:
1. True Deep over bite
2. Pseudo deep over bite *
Transverse relationship:

This analysis is particularly relevant for
differential diagnosis of cases with unilateral
posterior cross bite.
Depending on the functional analysis, two
types of skeletal mandibular deviations can
be differentiated.

32. RADIOGRAPHIC AND
CEPHALOMETRIC EVALUATIONS
1.OPG (Orthopantomograph):
It gives valuable information like
unerupted
supernumery,
unusual
crown and root forms, congenital
missing and details of 3rd molars can be
obtained.
It gives valuable information like stages
of
Germination,
the
degree
of
development of teeth is compared to
fixed scale.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
34. 3. Hand Radiograph:
Chronological age is not sufficient for assessing the
developmental stage and somatic maturity of the
patient, so that the biologic age has to be
determined.
Assessment of the skeletal age in often made with
the help of hand radiograph
Analysis of skeletal maturity up to 9 years, the
stages of mineralization of the carpal bones must be
determined
thereafter
metacarpal
bones
&
phalanges should be evaluated
Various indicators for development and maturity are
established which occur regularly in a definite
sequence during skeletal development.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
39. Cephalometric Characteristics of
Class II Division 1 Malocclusion #
The relationship of maxilla to cranial base
showed no significant differences
The mandible was significantly retrusive with
the chin located further posteriorly resulting in
a larger angle of facial convexity
Maj & co-workers suggested:
In some cases the inclination of anterior
teeth either exaggerates or camouflages the
differences between the bony bases. They
concluded that skeletal differences not due to
abnormal development in size of any specific
part but rather were result of abnormal
relationship between the parts in the direction
of discrepancy
#(Seminar in ortho, Vol12, No.1 (Mar)06)
www.indiandentalacademy.com
40. Cephalometric Characteristics of
Class II Division 2 Malocclusion #
According to wallis class II division2 had posterior
cranial base larger than division1
He noted in a typical division2 cases relatively
more acute gonial and mandibular plane angles,
shorter lower anterior face height and excessive
overbite.
Hedges noted a larger angle of convexity in
division 2 cases
Hedges concluded only consistent cephalometric
finding was the lingual axial inclination of the
maxillary central incisors.

“Open bite is a Malocclusion that occurs
in the vertical plane, characterised by
lack of vertical overlap between the
maxillary and mandibular dentition”.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
43. DEEP BITE
Definition:
“Deep bite is defined as a condition
of excessive overbite where the vertical
measurement between the maxillary
and mandibular incisal margins is
excessive when the mandible is brought
into habitual or centric occlusion”.

53. Activator
Andresen developed a mobile loose
fitting appliance which was
progenitor of kingsley appliance.
“Biomechanic working retainer “
Andresen and haupl teamed up to
create appliance called Activator.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
54. Philosophy of treatment
Individual optimum :
The basis of treatment was to stimulate
condylar changes by relocating the mandible
anteriorly thus achieving desired occlusion
Efficacy of activator:
According to Andresen and haupl(1955)
concept myotatic reflex activity and isometric
contractions induce musculoskeletal adaptation by
introducing new mandibular closing pattern.
A fundamental requirement for condylar
growth is stimulation of lateral pterygoid muscle

Development and Principles:
Balters
developed Bionator 1950
Balters hypothesis states :
The equilibrium between the
tongue and circumoral muscles is
responsible for shape of the dental
arches and intercuspation.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
59.
Balters hypothesis supports the early
function and form concept of Vander
Klaaw and functional matrix theory of
moss
Principle of treatment is to modulate the
muscle activity
www.indiandentalacademy.com
60.
Efficacy:
Allows to wear day and night
Reduced size
Constant influence on tongue and perioral
muscles
Skeletal and dentoalveolar effects :
Limited effectiveness in case of skeletal
disturbances
Distortion of appliance due less acrylic
support
www.indiandentalacademy.com
61. Bionator types :
Standard appliance
Openbite appliance
Class III or Reversed bionator
www.indiandentalacademy.com
62. FRANKEL FUNCTION REGULATOR
FRANKEL PHILOSOPHY :
BUCCAL SHIELDS AND LIP PADS HOLD the
buccal and labial musculature away from the teeth
and investing tissues, eliminating any possible
restrictive influence from this functional matrix .
Frankel conceives his vestibular restrictions as
artificial “ought to be “ matrix .
www.indiandentalacademy.com
63. Functional matrix concept of Melvin Moss:
Buccal shields of frankel directly alter the soft tissue
configuration, increasing the oral volume, that is the
capsular matrix that allows the muscle to exercise and
adapt and improve.
The impact of the space increase
on the basal development of mandible
has been suggested.
The term translative growth gives a new credence to
the theoretic and therapeutic aspect of orthopedic
treatment with frankel.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
64.
Frankel has stressed another
theoretic action
Tissue tension created by
shields and pads exerts contiguous
periosteal tissue pull leading to
increased bone activity .

73. Studies of functional appliance therapy
13 studies were conducted to know the
concepts influencing the functional
appliance therapy.
First study (woodside 1975):
To know the effectiveness of
activator treatment during day and
night on mandibular length.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
74.
Second study and third study
(altuna,woodside 1977;1985):
These studies attempted to
clarify the experimental
conditions to achieve increased
mandibular length .
www.indiandentalacademy.com
75.
The fourth study (woodside et al 1975):
It tested the effectiveness of
activator with wide opening in
the construction bite (8mm
beyond the rest ).
o
The fifth study (shapera 1974):
This study demonstrated a
recovery from midface restriction
within 5years of treatment in sample
of patients.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
76.
The sixth investigation study (woodside
1985):
It was conducted to compare differences
in electromyographic (emg) activity
generated in the lateral pterygoid
muscle by frankel function regulator and
activator .
To test hypothesis on activity of
muscle on proliferration of condylar
tissue.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
77.
The seventh study (sessle et al):
A sample of six juvenile
monkeys (macaca fasicularis)
was studied to test the
longitudinal effect of functional
appliances on jaw muscle
activity .
www.indiandentalacademy.com
79.
The eighth and ninth
study(sectakof1992 ;yamin1991 ) :
These studies tested
functional activity in the
muscles of mastication after
insertion of functional
appliance.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
80.
The tenth study (organ 1979):
Tested the hypothesis
on extention of buccal shield
into the soft tissues of the oral
vestibule
www.indiandentalacademy.com
81. The
eleventh study (woodside et
al 1987):
A sample of juvenile
monkeys was studied to assess
the remodelling changes in
condyle and gleniod fossa .
www.indiandentalacademy.com
82.
o
The twelfth study (voudouris,1988):
found similar changes
in mixed dentition animals .
The thirteenth study
(angelopoulos1988):
showed glenoid fossa
relocation helps correcting class
II dysplasia.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
83.
Conclusion of studies :
Part time use of appliance do not
produce any effect on mandibular
length
Large or moderate vertical opening of
construction bite redirects the
maxillary growth direction.
The function regulator does not
increase bone formation at apical
base but rather at alveolar crest.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
84.
Functional regulator & activator
create similar increased amount of
LMP activity at appliance insertion.
Chronic condylar unloading produces
rapid downward and forward
relocation of glenoid fossa.

85. A new parameter for estimating
condylar growth direction :
Effects of STH and TESTOSTERONE:
According to
Petrovic et al, stutzmann,gasson et al
supplementary lengthening of mandible
compared to maxilla
increased stimulation of lateral pterygoid muscle
shows more posterior location of mitosis in

93. Importance of masticatory muscle
function in dentofacial growth *
Elevator muscles influence transverse
and vertical facial dimensions .
Increased loading of the jaws associated
with masticatory muscle function shows
increased sutural growth and bone
apposition.
strong masticatory muscles have
homogenous facial morphology in
contrast to individuals with weak
masticatory muscles
* Sem in ortho ,vol12 no2(june)2006
www.indiandentalacademy.com
94. According to animal studies :
Altering consistency of diet
shows changes in biting force level,
masticatory activity and behaviour .
The influence of tension created
by masticatory muscles apply to
craniofacial skeleton there by
altering its growth .
www.indiandentalacademy.com
95.
Research studies shows that masticatory
muscles are able to influence craniofacial
growth of man provided tension they
apply to facial bone structures is above a
certain threshold ie mild overload window
(frost) .
Epigenetic influences of masticatory
muscles force on craniofacial growth may
apply only in presence of increased
muscle activity .

96. GROWTH PREDICTION
“GROWTH PREDICTION IS THE FORECASTING OF
THE DIRECTION AND AMOUNT OF GROWTH OF
THE MAXILLA AND MANDIBLE {HORIZONTAL
AND VERTICAL GROWTH TRENDS} AS WELL AS
THE TIMING OF THE ADOLESCENT GROWTH
PERIOD.”
WHAT IS THE NEED FOR IT????
• HELPS THE CLINICIAN DEALING WITH INTERCEPTION AND /OR
CORRECTION OF DENTOFACIAL MALOCCLUSIONS.
• DECISIONS CAN BE MADE ABOUT THE NEED FOR TREATMENT.
• DECISIONS COULD BE MADE ABOUT THE TIMING, TYPE AND
LENGTH OF TREATMENT.

According to aristotle
“ The process of growth where upon the
addition of a figure or body leaves the
resultant figure or body similar to original is
called gnomonic growth “

Second characteristic of nautilus :
Gnomonic growth can be described by
particular kind of curve logarithmic or
equiangular spiral.

According to thompson :
“Any plane curve proceeding from a fixed
point or pole and such that the vectorial
area of any sector is always a gnomon to
the whole preceding figure is called an
equiangular or logarithmic spiral if such
relationship could be discovered in the
face ,then prediction about its growth
would be feasible as in the nautilus”

118. SIGNIFICANCE OF MANDIBULAR ROTATION
Major factor in development of malocclusion
Posterior rotation – retrogenia.
Anterior rotation - progenia.
Plays important role in treatment planning.

120. Clinical implication of growth rotation
Aetiological assessment.
Determine nature of anamoly
Prognostic evaluation
Determining possible forms of treatment
and indications
Choosing principle of treatment
Assess stability of treatment results

122. Growth assessment parameters
Krogman defines five ages of
childhood
1.chronological age
2. biologic age
morphological age
skeletal age
dental age
circumpubertal age
www.indiandentalacademy.com
124. 1> chronologic age :“It is defined as age measured
by years lived since birth “
helps to categorise
early
maturity
average maturity
late maturity

125.
Biologic age :1 somatotypic age
2 height and weight age
www.indiandentalacademy.com
127.
Height and weight age :
Convenient determinant of
developmental age .
It is compared on standard
growth curve of certain child to
characterise a childs height
compared to that children of same
chronological age .

129. Skeletal age :
anatomical regions
small to restrict radiation exposure
and expense .
Many ossification centres which
ossify at separate times
Easily accessible

Regions normally used for age
assessment
head and neck :skull
cervical vertebrae
upper limb : shoulder joint –scapula
elbow
hand wrist and fingers

Lower limb – femur and humerus
hip joint
knee
ankle
foot tarsals
metatarsals
phalanges

135.
Skeletal maturation evaluation
using cervical vertebrae :
According to hassell & farman
Shapes of cervical vertebrae differ at
each level of skeletal development.
To determine existence of potential
growth.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
137. Tooth mineralization as an indicator
of skeletal maturity :
Entire deciduous and mixed
dentition period .
Calculating is made using a point
evaluation system (demirjian et al1973,
schopf 1970) .

138.
Pubertal /sexual age :
According to Hagg and taranger
Girls if the menarche has occurred ,peak height
velocity attained
deaccelerating
→
growth rate is
Boys with prepubertal voice change
spurt
Boys with male voice
→ pubertal
→ growth rate is
deaccelerating
