GROWTH & DEVELOPMENT
PRESENTED BYLISE ROSE TOM
GUIDED BYDr.ROOPESH.RDr.MADHAV MANOJDr.DEEPU LEANDER
As orthodontists we should have the concepts of when, where, why and how the facial growth occurs
Role of the genetic and environmental factors in influencing facial growth
It is necessary to have a thorough understanding of both the pattern of normal growth and the mechanisms that underlie it and deviations from normal pattern
INTRODUCTION
• How the face changes from its embryologic form through childhood, adolescence and adulthood.
• Understanding of how and where the growth occurs, direction of growth , how much growth potential is remaining and when the growth will express itself.,
• How the above factors can be modified by the operator for the benefit of the patient and to achieve the optimal results in the potential of each individual person.
Definitions related to Growth
J.S. Huxley
“The self multiplication of living substance.”
Krogman “Increase in size, change in proportion and progressive complexity.”
Todd “An increase in size.”
Meridith- “Entire series of sequential anatomic and physiologic changes taking place from the beginning of prenatal life to senility.
Moyers “Quantitative aspect of biologic development per unit of time.”
Moss Change in any morphological parameter which is measurable
profit Growth refers to an increase in size/number
Generally growth is irreversible. It is partially true as in the in the case of increase in the length of the body.
Growth may be reversible as seen in the case of increase/decrease in weight of the body . Though growth is generally associated with an increase in size, yet some conditions involving regression are also considered to take place during growth.
E.g.The atrophy of the thymus gland.
DEVELOPMENT –
GROWTH IS OFTEN USED AS A SYNONYMOUS FOR DEVELOPMENT. BIOLOGICALLY DEVELOPMENT IS A PROCESS OF CONTINUOUS CHANGES OCCURRING IN A PREDETERMINED DIRECTION. Thus it encompasses the normal sequential events between fertilization and death.
Todd “Development,” according to Todd, “is progress towards maturity”.
Profit Development increase in complexity
Moyers According to 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.
Development is characterized by changes in complexity, a shift to fixation of function, and more independence, all of which is under
genetic control, yet modified by the environment
The changes associated with aging i.e.,degeneration and senility are considered by some as a part of maturation, while others consider It as
part of development
Growth is evaluated in clinical practice to assess the status of the patient, recognize any pathologic deviations, and plan treatment..
KEY POINTS
Differentiation
Differentiation is the change from a generalized cell or tissue to one that is more specialized. Thus differentiation is a change in
quality or kind.
The stabilization of the adult stage brought about by the growth & development is called Maturation
FACTORS AFFECTING PHYSICAL GROWTH
1. Heredity.
2. Nutrition.
3. Illness.
4. Race
6. Socio- economic factors
7. Family size and birth order
8. Secular trends
9. Climatic and seasonal effects
10. Psychological disturbances
11. Exercise
FACTORS AFFECTING PHYSICAL GROWTH
1. Heredity.
The size of parts,rate of growth and the onset of growth.
The genes hence play a major role in the overall growth of a person.Studies were done on twins
2. Nutrition.
Malnutrition may affect all aspects of growth including size of parts, body proportions, quality and texture of tissues, and onset of growth events.
The effects of malnutrition are reversible to a certain extent as children have fine recuperative powers.
Catch-up growth
If the adverse effects are not too severe, the growth process accelerates when proper nutrition is provided.
3.Illness.
The usual minor childhood illnessordinarily cannot be shown to havemuch effect on physical growth.
Prolonged and debilitating illnesshowever can have a marked effect onall aspects of growth.
4.RaceDifferences in growth among different races can be attributed to other nutritional and environmental factors,
5.Socio- economic factorsChildren brought up in affluent andfavorable socio-economic conditionsshow earlier onset of growth events.
They also grow to a larger size thanchildren living in unfavorable socio-economic environment.
6.Family size and birth orderFirst born babies tend to weigh less at birth and have smaller stature but higher I. Q.
The smaller the family size, the better would be the nutrition and other favorable conditions.
7.Secular trendsChanges in size and maturation in a large population can be shown to occur with time.
e.g :15 old boys are approximately 5 inches taller than the same age group 50 years back.
8.Climatic and seasonal effectsSeasonal variation have been shown toaffect adipose tissue content and the weight of new born babies.
Climatic changes seem to have little direct effect on rate of growth.
9.Psychological disturbancesChildren experiencing stressful conditions display an inhibition of growth hormone secretion.
Psychological disturbances of prolonged duration can hence markedly retardgrowth.
10.ExerciseExercises are essential for a healthy body, Strenuous and regular exercises have not been associated with more favorable growth. Certain aspects of growth such as development of some motor skills and increase in muscle mass is found to be influenced by exercise.
BASIC TENETS OF GROWTH
• PATTERN •VARIABILITY• TIMING
CONCEPTS OF GROWTH1.Concept of normality
Normal refers to that which is usually expected, is ordinarily seen or is typical.
The concept of normality must not be equated with that of the ideal. While ideal denotes the central tendency for the group.
Normal refers to a range
Another aspect of cranio facial growth is that normality changes with age.
2.Rhythm of growth
Hooton Human growth is not a steady & uniform process wherein all parts of the body enlarge at the same rate & the increments of one year
arc equal to that of the proceeding or succeeding year."
CONCEPTS OF GROWTH2.Rhythm of growth
This growth rhythm is most clearly seen in stature or body height.
CONCEPTS OF GROWTH3.Growth Spurt
Sudden increase in growth is termed
"growth spurt".
CONCEPTS OF GROWTH3.Growth Spurt
"Growth Spurt".Periods when
a sudden acceleration of growth occurs.
CONCEPTS OF GROWTH3.Growth Spurt
physiological alteration inhormonal secretion
cause for Growth Spurts
CONCEPTS OF GROWTH3.Growth Spurt
TIMINGS OF GROWTH SPURTS.a. Just before birth b. One year after birthc. Mixed dentition growth spurtBoys : 8-11 yearsGirls : 7-9 yearsd. Pre-Pubertal growth spurtBoys : 14 - 16 yearsGirls : 11-13 years
CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF GROWTH SPURTS
• To differentiate whether growth changes are normal or abnormal.
• Treatment of skeletal discrepancies (e.g. Class IT) is more advantageous if carried out in the mixed dentition period, especially during the growth spurt.
• Pubertal growth spurt offers the best time for majority of cases in terms of predictability, treatment direction, management and treatment time.
Orthognathic surgery should be carried out after growth ceases.
• Arch expansion is carried out during the maximum growth period.

CONCEPTS OF GROWTH4.Differential growth
Different organs growat different rates
to a different amount&
at different times.
CONCEPTS OF GROWTH4.Differential growth
1.Scammon's curve of growth
2. Cephalo-caudal gradient of growth
1. General or Somatic curve height, weight, skeleton, muscles
2. Genital slow in the pre-pubertal period rapid at adolescence
3. Neural curve brain, skull, eyes, ears develop earlier than any other tissues or organs; no adolescent spurt
4. Lymphoid curvetonsils, adenoids, appendix, intestines, and spleenpre-adolescent maximum, followed byregression to adult value
1. Lymphoid curveLymphoid tissue proliferates rapidly in late childhood and reaches almost 200% of adult size
An adaptation to protect children from infection
By 18 years LYMPHOID tissue undergoes involution to reach adult size.
2. Neural curve
Neural tissue grows very rapidly and reaches adult size by 6-7 years.
Very little growth of neural tissue occurs after 6-7 years.
3. General or Somatic curve
Consists of the muscles, bones and other organs.
These tissues exhibit an "S" shaped curve with rapid growth up to 2-3 years
followed by a slow phase of growth between 3-10 years.
After the 10th year, a rapid phase of growth occurs terminating by the 18 - 20th year
4. Genital slow in the pre-pubertal period rapid at adolescence
CONCEPTS OF GROWTH2. Cephalo-caudal gradient of growth
An axis of increased growth extending from head towards the feet
CONCEPTS OF GROWTH2. Cephalo-caudal gradient of growth
A comparison of the body proportion Between pre-natal and post-natal lifereveals Post-natal growth of regions of the body that are away fromthe HYPOPHYSIS is more.
CONCEPTS OF GROWTHCephalo-caudal gradient of growth
A. 3rd month of intra-uterine life :The head takes up 50% of the total body length.
B. At birth:the trunk and the limbs have grown more than the head, thereby reducing the head to about 30% of body length.
C.The growth continues with a progressive reduction in the relative size of the head to about 12% in the adult

• • Comparative Anatomy
• Radiographic techniques
• • Genetic Studies
TERMINOLOGY RELATED TO GROWTHGROWTH FIELDS• The outside and inside surfaces of bone are
blanketed by soft tissues, cartilage or osteogenic membranes.
• Within this, blanket areas known as growth fields,which are spread all along the bone in a mosaic pattern,are responsible for producing an alteration in the growing bone.
• GROWTH SITES
• Growth sites are growth fields that have a special significance in the growth of a particular bone, e.g.mandibular condyle in the mandible
• GROWTH CENTERS
• Growth centers are special growth sites, which control the overall growth of the bone, e.g. epiphyseal platesof long bones.
• supposed to have an intrinsic growth potential
