Mechanisms of Early Normal Growth of the Craniofacial Skeleton course for Dental Practice
This session explains the mechanisms behind normal growth of the cranium, maxilla and mandible in the child and young adult. The growth and changes in the soft tissues of the face are also explained.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this session you will be able to:
- Describe mechanisms of craniofacial growth
- Explain endochondral and intramembranous ossification and associated processes
- Describe the normal growth of the craniofacial structures and how they may affect appearance and function
- Describe the normal growth and changes that occur in the facial soft tissues
The craniofacial skeleton grows forwards and downwards in a rotational pattern. This can affect vertical and horizontal relationships. Forward growth patterns are more common than backward rotations and, for example, these can correct class 2 malocclusions or deepen an overbite.
