GROWTH & DEVELOPMENT

DEFINITIONS AND TERMINOLOGIES

Dr. Narayan H.Gandedkar

 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

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.

 Growth may be defined as the normal change

in the amount of living substance

Change in any morphological parameter

which is measurable- Moss.

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

Development refers to all

naturally occurring progressive, unidirectional,

sequential changes in the

life of an individual from its existence as a single cell to its elaboration as a multifunctional unit

terminating in death
Moyers

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

Translocation
It is a change in position

Maturation
It is the emergence of personal characteristics and behavioural phenomenon through growth processes

Eg-Head of the infant

Functional change Eg-Secretion , production of enzymes, hormones

13

Size change- height, weight, volume Positional change-

Migration of neural crest cells

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.

18

Ubiquity of genetic control modulated by environment

Genetic control of development is

constantly being modified by environmental interactions

Normal features of Growth & Development

pattern

-Differential Growth -cephalocaudal gradient of growth

Variability Timing, rate & direction
23

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.

24

DIFFERENTIAL GROWTH
Different organs grow at different rates amount and at different times.

Axis of increased growth

28

CEPHALOCAUDAL GRADIENT OF GROWTH

29

Growth of head and face

30

It illustrates the change in overall body proportions during normal growth and development.

Imp aspect of pattern is its predictability.

31

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.

32

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

33

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

34

TYPES OF NORMALITY

35

Growth chart

36

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.

37

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
38

Distance curve Vs Velocity curve

Height

Distance curve

Age

Velocity curve

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.

39

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

70

CRANIOMETRY. measurements of skull

Neanderthal and Cro-magnon skull. information of extinct population ,growth pattern

Advantages: Precise measurements. Disadvantages:All growth data must be cross sectional.

71

ANTHROPOMETRY:

soft tissue pts over bony landmarks- living individuals. variation in soft tissue thickness - different rslts individual growth directly measured

72

 CEPHALOMETRIC RADIOGRAPHY: direct measurement - bony skeletal dimensions follow up same individual over time .

Disadvgs precise orientation of head ,precise control of magnification. 2D of 3D structure

73

Mineralized sections.
less processing distortions , both organic and inorganic matrix- studied simultaneously. Cellular details , resolutions - enhanced reduce thickness of the sections. Special stains Thin sections- quench- rapidly

74

Microradiography.
High resolution of images of bone sections Differential density btwn pri and seco bone. Bone strength -proportional to degree of mineralisation. seco bone more strength than pri bone. Seco mineralisation process- 8 months to form minimum retention : 6-8 months.

75

THERMOGRAPHY

76

Scintigraphy

Hot Spots.

77

MRI

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Depicts- soft tissue growth

contrast with hard tissue.

78

Fluorescent labels.
in vivo calcium binding labels anabolic time markers of bone formation. Mechanism of bone growth determined by analysis of label incidence and interlabel distance. Sequential use of different colored labels assess bone growth,healing and functional adaptation. Tetracycline,calcein green,xylenol orange,alizarin complexone,demeclocycline and oxytetracycline

79

Radioisotopes.

Radioisotopes of certain elements or compounds 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

80

RADIOISOTOPES

81

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.

82

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.

83

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).

84

 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.

85

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.
86

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.

87

Vital staining
reported by Belchier in 1796 John Hunter- alizarin dye Other dyes : tetracyline trypon blue lead acetate procion
88

 Vital staining aids in studying:

Manner in which bone is laid down site of bone growth the direction and amount of growth

and the timing and relative duration of growth at different sites.

89

Natural markers.
developmental features - serial radiography. trabaculae,nutrient canals, lines of arrested growth cephalometric landmarks.

90

Implant markers.
Bjork- tantalum or biologically inert alloys into growing bone radiographic reference markers for serial cephalometric study. The method allows precise orientation of serial cephalograms and information on the amount and sites of bone growth.

Clinical significance
Full strength of lamellar bone supporting an

orthodontically moved tooth is not attained for upto a year after completion of active treatment.

103

Non Lamellar bone

Makes up fine cancellous bone tissue No distinct stratification in fibre orientation

104

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.

105

Bundle bone
Present adjacent to periodontal ligament Presence of perpendicular striations called

sharpeys fibres. Formed on depository side of socket, laid dowm in the direction toward the moving tooth root.

106

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.

107

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

108

yellow marrow Irregularly arranged trabeculae Present in medulla

109

Mechanisms of bone growth

Deposition and resorption
Growth fields Modelling Remodelling Growth movements

drift displacement
110

Deposition and resorption

Bone sides which face the

direction of growth are subject to deposition (+) and those opposite to it undergo resorption(-) surface principal

111

Deposition and resorption

Bone produced by

covering membraneperiosteal bone comprises about half of the cortical bone tissue: bone laid down by the lining membrane-endosteal bone makes up the other half.

112

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.
113

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..

114

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

115

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.
116

Growth sites
Such

special sites do not out the entire carry growth process but the entire bone takes part

117

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.

118

MODELING

Bone modeling involves independent sites of resorption and formation that change the size and

shape of a bone.

119

CONTROL FACTORS FOR BONE MODELING

Mechanical Peak load in Micro strain. 1. Disuse atrophy <200. 2. Bone Maintenance 2002500. 3. Physiological Hypertrophy 25004000. 4. Pathological Overload >4000.

120

 Endocrine.
1. 2. 3.

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

121

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

122

 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.

123

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

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 .

126

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.

127

Displacement
Displacement is a physical movement of the

whole bone as it remodels Two types: primary displacement secondary displacement

128

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

129

Secondary displacement
It is the movement of a

whole bone caused by the separate enlargement of other bones

130

Combination of remodeling & displacement

Both these mechanisms carries out two

general functions
Positions each bone
Designs and constructs each bone

131

Balloon Anology

132

Hand Anology

133

Tripod Chair Anology

134

Rotation
According to Enlow,

growth rotation is due to diagonally placed areas of deposition and resorption Two types

Remodelling rotations Displacement rotations

135

Principle of Area relocation

Both remodeling and displacement together cause a shift in existing position of a particular structures with reference to another

136

Growth equivalent principle

This principle proposed by Hunter & Enlow
relates the effects of cranial base growth on

155

Enlows 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.

156

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.

157

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.

158

159

 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)
