    Development & Growth of Mandible

    This document discusses the development of the mandible and maxilla. It outlines the key steps in mandible development including the roles of Meckel's cartilage, the mandibular nerve, and secondary cartilage. Meckel's cartilage initially forms but does not contribute to mandibular development. The body of the mandible develops from intramembranous ossification and tooth germs develop within the mandibular canal. Secondary cartilage like the condylar and coronoid cartilage contribute to growth of the ramus and other areas. The mandible is not fully developed at birth, exhibiting an obtuse angle, small ramus, and open shell body.

    Development And Growth

    Of Mandible And Maxilla


    Ass. prof. Dr. HEBA M. Eltohey
    Steps of Mandible
    Development
    1- Meckels cartilage.
    2- Mandibular nerve.
    3- development of body of the
    mandible.
    4- Development of the ramus.
    5- Secondary cartilage.
    Development Of The
    Mandible
    It develops by
    INTRAMEMBRANOUS
    ossification.
    Meckels cartilage has ONLY a
    close relation to the dense
    fibrocellular membrane but does
    not contribute in mandibular
    development.
    !"#$"%&' )*+,-%*."
    It develops at 6
    th
    week IU as a
    Solid Hyaline cartilagenous rod,
    surrounded by fibrocellular
    capsule.
    It extends from ear region to
    the midline of fused mandibular
    process.
    They are separated at the
    midline with mesenchymal band.
    Fate of Meckels Cartilage
    1- Mental ossicles and Lingula
    represent the remaining part of the
    cartilage in the developed mandible.
    2- Major portion of two ear ossicles
    (mallus and incus).
    3- Sphenomandibular ligament &
    anterior ligament of the mallus
    develop from fibrous capsule of the
    cartilage.
    4- Spine of sphenoid bone.
    The Mandibular Branch of
    Trigeminal Nerve
    At the junction of dorsal and
    middle thirds, it divides into
    Inferior alveolar nerve and
    Lingual N.
    At the junction of middle and
    ventral thirds, It divides into
    Incisive And Mental N.
    Body of the Mandible
    At 7
    th
    week IU on the lateral
    aspect of Meckels cartilage a
    condensation in the mesenchyme
    occurs in the angle between
    incisive and mental nerves.
    From this center of ossification,
    Bone formation extend Backward
    along the nerve till the junction of
    inferior
    alveolar and lingual nerves
    forming lateral & medial plates
    then canal is formed for the
    nerve by bone formation over
    the nerve.
    Tooth germs develop within the
    canal then separated by bone
    partitions.
    The Ramus
    It occurs by rapid
    spread of ossification
    posteriorly to the
    condensed
    ectomesenchymal
    membrane of the 1
    st

    arch.
    2ry Cartilage
    Condylar Cartilage: It appear at
    12
    th
    week IU as a carrot shaped
    occupies most of the developing
    ramus (endochondrial
    ossification).
    At 20 week IU only a thin layer
    of cartilage persists for head
    growth. It disappeared by the
    end of the 2
    nd
    decade of life.
    Coronoid Cartilage:
    It appears at 4
    th
    month of development
    at the anterior border and top of
    coronoid process.
    It disapeared long before birth.
    Symphysial cartilage ( two in number)
    They appear in the CT in the midline.
    They are ossified within the 1
    st
    year
    after birth.

    The Mandible at Birth
    1- Obtuse angle.
    2- Small sized ramus.
    3- Poorly developed chin.
    4- Large coronoid process.
    5- open shell body of the
    mandible.
    6- lower mandibular canal.
