GROWTH & DEVELOPMENT
DEFINITIONS AND
TERMINOLOGIES
Dr. Narayan H.Gandedkar

2. 2
 Ancient growth and development concepts
Garbha Upanishad
“From the conjugation of the blood and
semen embryo comes into existence.during
the period of conception, after the sexual
inter course it becomes kalada (one day
old
embryo) after remaining seven nights it
becomes a spherical mass, after two months
the head is formed, after three months limb
region is formed”

 Aristotle of stagera
 Claudius Galen
 Talmud
 Leonardo da vinci

Definition of Growth
 “Growth refers to increase in size” - Todd
 “Growth usually refers to an increase in size
and number” – Proffit
 “Self multiplication of living substance”-
J.S.Huxley.

5. 5
 “Growth may be defined as the normal change
in the amount of living substance
 “Change in any morphological parameter
which is measurable”- Moss.

6. 6
Definition of Development
Development is a progress towards
maturity” – Todd
“Development connotes a maturational
process involving progressive
differentiation at the cellular and tissue
levels” - Enlow

7. 7
“Development refers to all
naturally occurring
progressive, unidirectional,
sequential changes in the
life of an individual from it’s
existence as a single cell to
it’s elaboration as a
multifunctional unit
terminating in death” –
Moyers

8. 8
Definitions
 Morphogenesis – “A
biologic process having
an underlying control at
the cellular and tissue
levels”
 Differentiation – “It
is a change from
generalized cells or
tissues to a more
specialized kinds during
development”

9. 9
•Translocation –
“ It is a change in position”
•Maturation –
“It is the emergence of
personal characteristics and
behavioural
phenomenon through
growth processes”

10. 10
Timing and sequential change
a. Prenatal growth
b. Postnatal growth
c. Maturity
d .Old age

11. 11
Timing and sequential change
•Prenatal growth- rapid increase in cell no.
•Postnatal growth- 20 yrs- declining growth-
increasing maturation
•Maturity-period of stability
•Old age
•death

12. 12
Different types of growth
 Size change
 Positional change
 Proportional change
 Functional change
 Maturational change
 Compositional change

13. 13
Proportional change
Eg-Head of the infant
Functional change
Eg-Secretion , production of enzymes,
hormones

14. 14
Size change- height, weight, volume
Positional change-
•Migration of neural crest cells
•Eruption of teeth
•Dropping of diaphragm

15. 15
Maturational change
stability and adulthood
Compositional change
Eye pigmentation

16. 16
Major themes of development
 Changing complexity
 Shifts from competent to fixation
 Shifts from dependent to independent
 Ubiquity of genetic control modulated by
environment

17. 17
Changing complexity
 All level of organisation - sub-cellular to
whole organism
 Complexity development
 Orthodontics Mixed dentition period

18. 18
Shifts from competent to fixation
 Undifferentiated cells once differentiated become
fixed.
Shifts from dependent to independent
 Development brings greater independence at most
levels of organisation.

19. 19
Ubiquity of genetic control modulated
by environment
 Genetic control of development is
constantly being modified by
environmental interactions

20. 20
Growth
•Increase in size decrease in size
eg- thymus gland after puberty
Development process of inc complexity
Development=growth+differenciation+translocation

21. 21
Importance of growth and development to
orthodontist
 Etiology of malocclusion
 Health and nutrition of children
 comparison of growth

22. 22
 identification - abnormal occlusal
development at an earlier stage
 use of growth spurts
 Surgery initiation
 Planning of retention regime

23. 23
Normal features of
Growth & Development
 pattern
-Differential Growth
-cephalocaudal gradient of growth
 Variability
 Timing, rate & direction

24. 24
PATTERN
 Pattern in growth represents proportionality .It
refers not just to a set of proportional
relationships at a point in time but to change in
these proportional relationships over time
 The physical arrangement of the body at any
one time is a pattern of spatially proportioned
parts.

25. 25
DIFFERENTIAL GROWTH
Different organs grow at different rates
amount and at different times.
 Scammon’s curve of growth
-Richard scammon

26. 26
SCAMMON’S CURVE OF GROWTH
 LYMPHOID
 NEURAL
 GENERAL
 GENITAL

27. 27

28. 28
CEPHALOCAUDAL GRADIENT
OF GROWTH
• Changes , part of normal growth pattern reflect
“Cephalocaudal gradient of growth”
• Axis of increased growth

CEPHALOCAUDAL GRADIENT
OF GROWTH

30. 30
Growth of head and face

31. 31
•It illustrates the change in overall body
proportions during normal growth and
development.
•Imp aspect of pattern is its predictability.

32. 32
Predictability
 Predictability of growth pattern is a specific
kind of proportionality that exists at a
particular time and progresses towards another,
at the next time frame with slight variations.
 Change in growth pattern indicates some
alteration in the expected changes in body
proportions.

33. 33
Variability
 No two individuals with the exception of
siamese twins are like.
 Hence it is important to have a “normal
variability” before categorizing people as
normal or abnormal

34. 34
Normality
 Normality refers to that which is usually
expected, is ordinarily seen or typical – Moyers
 Normality may not necessarily be ideal.
 Deviation from usual pattern can be used to express
quantitative variability
 This can be done by using “growth charts”
•

35. 35
TYPES OF NORMALITY
 STATISTICAL
 EVOLUTIONARY
 FUNCTIONAL
 ESTHETICAL
 CLINICAL

36. 36
Growth chart

37. 37
Applications of growth charts.
 Location of an individual relative to the group
can be established.
 Can be used to follow a child over time and
note for any unexpected change in growth
pattern.

38. 38
Timing of Growth
 One of the factors for variablity in growth.
 Timing variations arise because biologic clock of
different individuals is different.
 It is influenced by:
 genetics
 sex related differences
 physique related
 environmental influences

Distance Curve (cumulative curve): In this curve growth
can be plotted in height or weight recorded at various
ages.
Velocity Curve(incremental curve): In this by amount
of change in any given interval that is growth increment
is plotted.

40. 40
Growth spurts
 Defined as periods of growth acceleration
 Sex-linked
 Normal spurts are
 Infantile spurt – at 3 years age
 Juvenile spurt – 7-8 years (females); 8-10 years (males)
 Pubertal spurt – 10-11 years(females); 14-15 years
(males)
 Growth modulation can be done

are often used as in vivo markers
• labeled material injected and located within
the growing bone by autoradiographic
techniques.
1. Technetium 99
2. Calcium 45
3. Potassium 32

81. 81
RADIOISOTOPES

82. 82
Autoradiography.
• Histological sections are coated with a nuclear track
emulsion to detect radiographic precursor for
structural and metabolic material.
• Specific radioactive labels for protein carbohydrates
or nucleic acids are injected.

83. 83
• Quantitative and qualitative assessment of the label uptake
is a physiologic index of cell activity.
• Commonly used autoradiographic labels are:
• A. 3
H thymidine.
• B. 3
H proline.
• C. Bromodeoxyuridine.

84. 84
Polarized light.
• indicates the orientation of collagen fibers within
the bone matrix.
• Most lamellar bone consists of collagen fibers
oriented at right angles.
• However 2 other configurations can also be
noted:longitudinally aligned(L osteons).

85. 85
• And mixed fiber pattern.
• Loading condition at the time of bone formation
dictate the orientation of collagen fibers . Thus
bone formation can adapt to different loading
conditions by changing the internal lamellar
organization of bone tissue.

86. 86
Nuclear volume morphometry.
• cytomorphometric procedure to measures the
nuclear size for assessing the stages of
differentiation of osteoblastic precursor cells.
• Pre osteoblasts have significantly larger nuclei
than their precursors.
• used in determining the relative differentiation of
PDL and other bone living cells.

87. 87
Teleradiology.
 Introduced in 1982 at international conference
of PACS.
 Universal method of storing and transporting
digital images .
 Currently American college of radiology have
developed DICOM to allow the transmisssion
of images over the internet.

88. 88
Vital staining
• reported by Belchier in 1796
• John Hunter- alizarin dye
• Other dyes : tetracyline

 Coarse cancellous bone
 Woven bone
 Bundle bone
 Composite bone

103. 103
Clinical significance
 Full strength of lamellar bone supporting an
orthodontically moved tooth is not attained
for upto a year after completion of active
treatment.

104. 104
Non Lamellar bone
 Makes up fine cancellous bone tissue
 No distinct stratification in fibre orientation

105. 105
Woven bone
 Type of non lamellar bone
 Weak , disorganised, poorly mineralised
 Not found in adult human skeleton under
normal conditions
 First bone formed in response to orthodontic
loading.

106. 106
Bundle bone
 Present adjacent to periodontal ligament
 Presence of perpendicular striations called
sharpey’s fibres.
 Formed on depository side of socket, laid
dowm in the direction toward the moving tooth
root.

107. 107
Composite bone
 Predominant bone type during early retention
phase
 Most rapid means of producing strong bone
 Formed by deposition of lamellar bone within a
woven bone lattice.

108. 108
Fine cancellous bone tissue
 Formed by periosteum and endosteum
 Marrow spaces are fine
 It is located in cortex e.g. posterior border of a
growing ramus in a child
 Fastest growing of all bone types

109. 109
Coarse cancellous bone
 Produced by endosteum only
 Irregular marrow spaces containing red or
yellow marrow
 Irregularly arranged trabeculae
 Present in medulla

110. 110
Mechanisms of bone growth
 Deposition and resorption
 Growth fields
 Modelling
 Remodelling
 Growth movements
drift
displacement

111. 111
Deposition and resorption
 Bone sides which face the
direction of growth are
subject to deposition (+)
and those opposite to it
undergo
resorption(-)
…surface principal

112. 112
Deposition and resorption
 Bone produced by
covering membrane-
periosteal bone comprises
about half of the cortical
bone tissue: bone laid
down by the lining
membrane-endosteal
bone makes up the other
half.

113. 113
Transverse histologic section of bone:
A.Periosteal surface reorptive,endosteal
surface depository.
B.New endosteal bone addedon inner
surface.
C.Endosteal layer produced covered by
periosteal layer following outward
reversal.
D.Cortex made entirely of periosteal
bone….outer surface depository and
inner surface resorptive.

114. 114
Growth fields
 Inside and outside of
every bone is covered
by growth fields which
control the bone growth.
 They are both resorptive
and depository types..

115. 115
 About one half of the
bone is periosteal and the
other half endosteal.If
endosteal surface is
resorptive then periosteal
surface would be
depository.
 Provides two growth
functions:
Enlargement of any
given bone
Remodelling of any
given bone

116. 116
Growth sites
 Growth fields having
special role in the
growth of the particular
bone are called growth
sites
 e.g. mandibular condyle,
maxillary tuberosity,
synchondrosis of the
basicranium, sutures and
the alveolar process.

117. 117
Growth sites
 Such special sites do
not out the entire
carry growth
process but the
entire bone takes
part

118. 118
Growth centers
 Special areas which are
believed to control the
overall growth of the bone
e.g.mandibular condyle.
 Force, energy or motor for a
bone resides primarily
within its growth centre.
 Now believed that these
centers do not control the
whole growth process.

119. 119
MODELING
 Bone modeling involves
independent sites of resorption and
formation that change the size and
shape of a bone.

120. 120
CONTROL FACTORS FOR BONE
MODELING
– Mechanical Peak load in
Micro strain.
1. Disuse atrophy <200.
2. Bone Maintenance 200—2500.
3. Physiological Hypertrophy 2500—4000.
4. Pathological Overload >4000.
•

121. 121
• Endocrine.
1. Bone metabolic hormones-PTH,Vit D,Calcitonin.
2. Growth Hormones-Somatotropin,IGF 1,IGF 2.
3. Sex steroids-Testosterone,Estrogen.

122. 122
Remodelling
 Required differential growth activity required for bone
shaping.
 It involves deposition and resorption occuring on opposite ends
 Four types
 Biochemical remodelling
 Haversian remodelling
 Pathologic remodelling
 Growth remodelling

123. 123
 E.g. The ramus moves
posteriorly by the
combination of deposition
and resorption.
 so the anterior part of the
ramus gets remodeled into
a new addition for the
mandibular corpus.

124. 124
Functions of Remodeling
1. Progressively change the size of whole bone
2. Sequentially relocate each component of the
whole bone
3. Progressively change the shape of the bone to
accommodate its various functions

125. 125
1. Progressively change the
size of whole bone
2. Sequentially relocate each
component of the whole
bone
3. Progressively change the
shape of the bone to
accommodate its various
functions
Functions of Remodeling

126. 126
4. Progressive fine tune fitting of all the separate
bones to each other and to their contiguous
,growing, functioning soft tissues
5. Carry out continuous structural adjustments to
adapt to the intrinsic and extrinsic changes in
conditions .

127. 127
Drift
 It is remodeling process
and a combination of
deposition and
resorption.
 If an implant is placed
on depository side it
gets
embedded.eventually
marker becomes
translocated from one
side of cortex to other.

128. 128
Displacement
 Displacement is a physical movement of the
whole bone as it remodels
 Two types:
primary displacement
secondary displacement

129. 129
Primary displacement
 It is a physical
movement of a whole
bone and occurs while
the bone grows and
remodels by resorption
deposition
 E.g. in maxilla

130. 130
Secondary displacement
 It is the movement of a
whole bone caused by
the separate enlargement
of other bones

131. 131
Combination of remodeling &
displacement
 Both these mechanisms carries out two
general functions
 Positions each bone
 Designs and constructs each bone

135. 135
Rotation
 According to Enlow,
growth rotation is due to
diagonally placed areas
of deposition and
resorption
 Two types
 Remodelling rotations
 Displacement rotations

136. 136
Principle of ‘Area relocation’
Both remodeling and
displacement together
cause a shift in existing
position of a particular
structures with reference
to
another
.

137. 137
Growth equivalent principle
This principle proposed by Hunter & Enlow
relates the effects of cranial base growth on
the facial bone Growth.

 remodelling and disp of
mandi.
 condyle and post part of
ramus remodels.
 process not to increase
width of ramus.
 but to relocate it postly
for lengthening the
corpus.

145. 145
stage 5
 whole mandible displaced
ant by amt ramus has
relocated.
 post- primary displ.
 ramus lengthening remains
same.
 only corpus horizontal
dimension change.
 cl 1 returned.
 separation of occlusion.

stage 6
 dimension of temporal
lobe and MCF.
 Spheno-occipital
synchondroses- maj
growth site.

147. 147
stage 7
 vertical line moves ant.
 forehead
 cheekbone
 ACF
 Palate
 Max arch
 all move in ant
direction.

148. 148
stage 8
 Effect of MCf on mandi.-
secondry disp.
 less than max effect.
 bcoz MCF grows in front and
between the condyle and maxi
tuberosity.
 SOS lies between condyle and ant
boundary of MCF.

149. 149
stage 9
 MCF counterpart ?
 ramus and pharyngeal
space.
 skeletol function of
ramus
 - bridge
pharyngeal space and
span of MCF.
 A-P breadth of ramus is
critical.
- too →
narrow- retrusive.
→
wide- protrusive.

150. 150
stage 9
 floor of ACF & forehead grow by endocranial
depostition & ectocranial resorption.
 nasal bone – ant displaced.
 enlarging bone displaces calvaria – by sutural growth.
 depositing new bone at contact edges.
1. frontal.
2. parietal.
3. occipital.
4. temporal.

151. 151
stage 10
 NMC – vertical
lengthening.
 remodelling → depo and
reso.
 prim disp.
 resorption of superior
(nasal side).
 deposition of inferior
(oral side).

152. 152
stage 11
 Downward mvmt of
palate & max arch.
2-3 → downward pri
disp & suture grow
1-2 → remodelling.
2-3 → downward
disp.
1-2 → teeth own

153. 153
Stage 12
 upward / superior drift
of each mandi tooth.
 max teeth drift more
than mandi teeth.
 less growth “to work
with” in mandi.
 curve of spee.

154. 154
stage 13
 remodelling also
- incisor

differential growth timing.

155. 155
stage 14
 rationale of growth of
zygo process.
 zygo remodels → post
more deposition
→ ant less
resorption
 hence forward growth.

156. 156
Enlow’s V principal
 Most useful and basic
concept in facial growth as
many facial and cranial
bones have a V- shaped
configuration.
 Bone deposition(+) occurs
on the inner side and
resorption (-) occurs on
the outer surface.

157. 157
Example with V oriented vertically
 When bone added on
lingual side of coronoid
process,growth
proceeds and this part
of the ramus increases
in vertical dimension.

158. 158
Example of V oriented horizontally
 Same deposits of bone
also bring about a
posterior direction of
growth movement.
 This produces a
backward movement
of coronoid processes
even though deposit is
on the lingual side.

159. 159

160. 160
 Same deposits carry
base of bone in medial
direction as in fig 1.
 Hence, the wider part
undergoes relocation
into a more narrow part
as the whole v moves
towards the wide part
(fig 2)
