AND GROWTH
OF MANDIBLE
Learning Outcomes
At the end of the lecture, students should be
able to:
a. Describe the prenatal growth of the mandible
b. Explain the ossificaton of the mandible.
c. The timing of the growth
d. The muscle attachment of the mandible
e. Age changes in the mandible
f.
Clinical implication during the growth of the
mandible

OSSIFICATION
ENDOCHONDRAL OSSIFICATION
The bone formation is preceded by
the formation of a CARTILAGENOUS
MODEL Which is subsequently
replaced( not converted into) by
bone.
16
Endochondral
bone
formation is seen only in
3 areas of mandible:
1.The Condylar Process
2.The Coronoid Process
3.The Mental Region
17
Intramembranous
ossification
It occurs in
1)Whole body of mandible except the anterior part
2)Ramus of mandible as far as mandibular foramen

CONDYLAR
PROCESS
At about 5th week of IUL, An area ofmesenchymal
condensation can be seen above the ventral part of
the developing mandible.

Not a primary centre for growth, but
) Secondary in evolution
) Secondary in embryonic origin
) Secondary in adaptive responses to

CHILDHOOD
ADULTHOOD
The alveolar and subdental portions
of the body are usually of equal
depth.
The mental foramen opens midway
between the upper and lower
borders of the bone.
Mandibular canal runs nearly
parallel with the mylohyoid line.
The ramus is almost vertical in
direction.
The angle measuring from 110 to
120.
47
OLD AGE
The bone becomes greatly reduced
in size, for with the loss of the teeth
the alveolar process is absorbed.
The chief part of the bone is below
the oblique line.
48
Clinical considerations
49
Mylohyoid ridge :
Mental foramen :
As resorption takes place , mental foramen
comes to lie closer to the crest of the ridge .
Mental nerve and vessels may be compressed by
the denture base unless relief is provided .
50
Genial tubercles :
Usually lie away from crest of the
ridge but with resorption can
become increasingly prominent .
If activity of genioglossus muscle
displaces the lower denture or if
the tubercle cannot tolerate the
pressure , the genial turbercle is
removed and muscle detached .
