GOOD MORNING

EVELOPMENT OF THE ACE

THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE FACE OCCURS MAINLY BETWEEN
4 8 WEEKS

Early in the 4
th
week, 3 primordial
swellings consisting primarily of neural
crest-derived mesenchyme appear
around the stomodeum and play an
important role in the development of
face
Stomodeum
1 Frontonasal prominence
The single frontonasal prominence
ventral to the forebrain
2 Maxillary prominences
The paired maxillary prominences
develop from the cranial part of first
pharyngeal arch
3 Mandibular prominences
The paired mandibular prominences
develop from the caudal part of first
pharyngeal arch
THEN FRONTONASAL PROMINENCE GIVES ORIGIN
OF 2 PROMINENCE MEDIAL AND LATERAL NASAL
PROMINENCES
The frontonasal
prominence forms the:
Forehead ,root, tip
&bridge of the nose
Upper eye lid
Frontal and nasal
bones
The maxillary prominences form the:
Upper cheek regions and most of the upper lip
Maxilla, zygomatic bone, secondary palate

Derivatives of Facial Components
The mandibular
prominences fuse and
form the:
Chin, lower lip, and
lower cheek regions
Mandible
The lateral nasal prominences form the alae &
side of the nose

The medial nasal prominences fuse and form the
intermaxillary segment which gives origin of
central part of upper lip, philtrum, upper incissor
with alveolar process and primary palate.

DEVELOPMENT OF EPITHELIUM
Time : 4 th week of intrauterine period
DEVELOPMENT OF TONGUE
DEVELOPMENT OF EPITHELIUM
DEVELOPMENT OF TONGUE
DEVELOPMENT OF TONGUE
Muscles of the tongue develop form
the occipital somites and innervated
by hypoglossal nerve
Connective tissue of the tongue
develop form the local mesenchyme
THE PRIMARY PALATE
Begins to develop:
Early in the 6
th
week
From the deep part of
the intermaxillary
segment, as median
palatine/nasal
process
Lies behind the premaxillary
part of the maxillaFuses
with the developing
secondary palate
THE SECONDARY PALATE
Begins to develop:
Early in the 7
th
-8
th
week
From the internal aspect of the
maxillary processes, as lateral
palatine process
2 lateral palatine process fuse at
midline and also with nasal
septum by PALATAL SHELF
ELEVATION
PALATAL SHELF ELEVATION
GROWTH OF THE CRANIOFACIAL COMPLEX
Cranial Vault
Cranial Base
Maxilla
Mandible

GROWTH OF THE CRANIAL VAULT
Prenatal Cranial Vault developed by
intramembranous ossicification & postnatal
growth occurs at the sutural margin which is
opened by developing brain
GROWTH OF THE CRANIAL BASE
The cranial base is composed mostly by
bones formed by endochondral ossification.
Bands of cartilage are formed between
centers of ossification called synchondrosis:
Spheno-occiptal synchondrosis
intersphenoid synchondrosis
spheno-ethmoidal synchondrosis
GROWTH OF THE CRANIAL BASE
Cranial base grows by endochondral
ossification that occurs at both
margins of the synchondrosis.

MANDIBLE

POST NATAL GROWTH MANDIBLE
post natal growth
mandible is occurred
by secondary
cartilaginous
growth at
1. condyle
2. coronoid
3. symphysis
POST NATAL GROWTH MANDIBLE
post natal growth
mandible is occurred
by
displacement
POST NATAL GROWTH MANDIBLE
post natal growth
mandible is occurred
by surface
remodeling at
ramus, alveolar
process, body
of the mandible
Site of resorption (---)
Site of deposition (+++)
POST NATAL GROWTH MAXILLA
Post natal growth
maxilla by
displacement

Growth of the surrounding soft tissues
translates the maxilla downward and
forward, opening spaces in the sutures
where bone is added.
POST NATAL GROWTH MAXILLA
Post natal growth
maxilla by
sutural growth

Midpalatal suture is opened until
teenage years.
Apposition of bone in the molar area
accounts for space for the third molars.
POST NATAL GROWTH MAXILLA
Post natal growth
by surface
remodeling as
resorption and
deposition of
bone

Site of resorption (---)
Site of deposition (+++)
FACIAL GROWTH

1. growth in ant.-post. > height> width.
2. growth of chin to be prominent
3. lower jaw growth is to be more than upper jaw
4. class II malocclusion to be improved
5. class III malocclusion to be worse
6. teeth come forward more than dental base
7. facial planes tend to be horizontal
