Face is an important structure of our body. It’s the
mirror of expressions and our character. Its development is
an important factor of concern.
It develops in the fourth and eighth week of embryonic life.

8. Frontonasal process in future :
- forehead
- bridge of the nose
- primary palate
- nasal septum and
all structures related to medial nasal process.

11. Structures contributing to formation
of Face
Frontonasal Fore head, nasal septum,
median part of upper lip
Medial nasal Philtrum, crest and tip of
nose, middle part of
upper lip
Lateral nasal Alae of nose
Maxillary Cheeks, lateral portion
of upper lip
Mandibular Lower lip, lower part of
cheek
11
14. UPPER LIP FORMATION
Initiated -- 4th week .
Each Maxillary processes - sides of the upper lip.
2 medial nasal processes - middle of the upper lip.
Completed -- 6th week.
14
15. LOWER LIP FORMATION
The mandibular process of the two sides grow
towards each other and fuse in midline.
The fused mandibular process give rise to the lower
lip and to the lower jaw.
15
18. External nares - when the nasal pits are cut off from
stomatodaeum.
Fronto nasal process narrows - nasal septum.
Medial nasal process fuses together -- middle portion
of nose from root to apex ,centre portion of lip and
philtrum .
Lateral nasal process forms alae or sides of nose.
18
19. DEVELOPMENT OF CHEECK
After formation of lips, stomodeum is very broad.
Its lateral part is bounded above by the maxillary
process and below by the mandibular process
These undergo fusion with each other to form cheeks.
19
25. Hard Palate
At a later stage, the mesoderm in the palate undergoes
intramembranous ossification to form the hard palate.
Soft Palate
• Ossification does not extend into the most posterior
portion, which remain as soft palate.
25
28. TEETH
After 37 days of development, a continuous band of
thickened epithelium forms around the mouth in upper
and lower jaws.
Horse shoe shaped - correspond in position of future
dental arches of the upper and lower jaws.

48. CONCLUSION
Human face is the area, which is most likely to
develop malformations. Knowledge of normal development
will aid in the understanding the potential reasons for
preventing or treating of anomalies.
