Anatomy:
 The maxillary bone is the second largest
bone of face, the first being mandible.
 The maxillary bones are two in number
and when two maxillae articulate, they
form:
a. Whole upper jaw.
b. Roof of oral cavity.

2

 Greater part of floor and lateral
wall of nasal cavity and part of
bridge of nose.
 Greater part of floor of each
orbit.

Nasolacrimal Duct
A solid rod of epithelial cells sinks into the
mesenchyme within the grooves between lateral
nasal and maxillary prominences. These rods
extend from the developing conjunctival sac of
eye at medial corner of forming eyelid. These rods
later canalize to form nasolacrimal duct but these
ducts become patent only after birth.


25

POST NATAL GROWTH AND
DEVELOPMENT OF MAXILLA


26

As in other regions of the craniofacial
skeleton, growth in maxilla occurs by 2
processes:
1. Extensive appositional and resorptional
surface remodeling.
2. Displacement of the maxilla.
Moss referred to these movements as
transposition and translation respectively.

27


28

Enlow and Bang has described the growth
of maxilla by way of it’s sutures that attach
it to the cranial base, by applying the
principle of “Area Relocation”
- (i.e. specific local areas come to occupy
new actual positions in succession, as the
entire bone enlarges, involving both the
processes, translation and transposition).

29

For the precise assessment of remodelling
processes 2 methods have been used:
1.
Cross sectional study using histological
sections of dried skulls.
2.
Longitudinal studies using implant
markers and Cephalometric radiographs. Bjork
was the first to use this technique in 1955. In
the first technique it was difficult to note the
individual variability in the growth amount and
30
rate.

Postnatal growth of maxilla is mainly
because of:
1. Surface apposition.
2. Sutural growth.
3. Nasal septal growth.
4. Sphenooccipital synchondroses.


31

Growth of maxilla can be viewed in 3 aspects:
1. Growth in the Height.
.
2. Growth in the transverse direction.
3. Growth in the anterio-posterior
direction.

32

HEIGHT
1. In the coronal section, the palate is
‘V’ shaped. Applying the Enlow and
Bang’s ‘V’ principleDeposition on oral side.

Resorption on nasal side.

Increases the height of the nasal
cavity.

33

V principle in sagittal and coronal view


34


35

2.Similarly surface remodeling of bone in
the alveolar process, which increases the
height of palatal vault.


36

3.In addition to surface remodeling the height of
maxilla is increased by displacement process i.e.
primary and secondary.


37

Primary Displacement
Primary displacement because of apposition at the
tuberosity and palatine sutures which pushes the
maxilla in a forward direction, thus separating the
sutures and further, causing bone apposition in the
connective tissue.


38

Primary
displacement


39

Maxillary tuberosity


40

Palato maxillary suture


41

The increase in height of maxilla because of
primary displacement can be explained on the
basis of

Sutural theory

cartilaginous theory Functional
hypothesis

42

According to Sicher, the growth potential lies in the
sutures themselves and hence their growth would
ultimately push the maxilla in a downward and
forward direction. This is because the sutures are
oblique in nature and there is a sliding effect at the
sutures due to growth taking place.


43

Sutural theory
explaining the
maxillary growth


44

However this contention was disapproved by
the fact that the sutures are pressure
sensitive unlike cartilages, which are tension
sensitive areas. Thus pressure on the sutures
would cause inhibition of growth.


45

Scott’s theory tried to prove that it is because of
the innate growth potential of the nasal septum
that its growth pushes the maxilla downward
because of the thrust effect of septopremaxillary ligament and the fibres which are
embedded in the premaxillary segment.


46

However, recent research has shown that the
nasal septum plays an important role in
anteroposterior growth of the maxilla than its
vertical growth and experiments in which the
nasal septum was removed surgically, did not
prove the role of the septum in the
development of the mid-face.


47

Animal and human studies showing the effect of
removal of nasal septum on the growth of the
midface


48

Moss used the functional matrix theory(Van
der Klauuw) that each skeletal unit has its own
functional matrix and that the soft tissue
growth is responsible for the growth of the
skeletal units.
Thus the enlarging oro-facial capsule is
responsible for the increase in height of the
maxilla (e.g. increase in nasal airway). Also
the increase in height of the maxilla is seen to
occur because of the remodelling changes in
the orbit.

49

Secondary Displacement
Secondary displacement occurs because of
growth of the anterior and middle cranial
fossa and changes in cranial base flexures.
(Also because of increase in length of
cranial base).

Growth in anteroposterior direction:
1. The increase in the sagittal direction of the
maxilla begins in the 2nd year of life and ceases
after the increase in width has taken place.
2.The main increase in the length of the maxilla is
because of surface remodeling in the maxillary
tuberosity region (i.e. appositional changes) and in
the sutures between the palate and the palatine
bones.

54

3.Cortical drift - The anterior surface of the
maxilla is mostly resorptive, however, the
total growth of the maxilla is seen to be in an
antero-inferior direction. This is because as
the maxilla remodels, it is simultaneously
translated in an antero-inferior direction.
4.Thus, it is both the remodeling and
translatory growth process, which brings
about the change in anteroposterior
direction.
5.The translatory changes - Primary and
Secondary displacement.

Discussion of the study conducted by
Sheldon Baumrind (AJO Jan, 87).

In their study, they used implant
markers and computer aided methods
for analyzing the lateral skull
radiographs.


57

They used 3 reference points. ANS, PNS and Point
A.
1.In their findings, they found out that there was a
uniform displacement of all the 3 points in the
vertical direction. On an average, the mean
downward displacement was about 0.3mm / year.
2.In the horizontal direction, there was a posterior
displacement of all the 3 landmarks. However, the
displacement of PNS was greater than point A and
ANS. Thus this finding proves that the increase in
length is primarily by growth at the posterior
border.

58

3.The backward and downward remodeling of
all the 3 landmarks is reduced after about 13.5
years. This finding was consistent with the crosssectional studies on dry skull.
4.They found that the mode of pattern of
remodeling between treated and untreated
patients was different. This, if true, would be of
major biologic and clinical interest.

59

Effects on dentition and occlusion
1. Bimolar width in the 1st molar area
correlates with vertical growth of maxilla,
growth in midpalatal suture and growth in
height.
2. Dental arch drifts forward on an
average of 5mm by late adolescence in the
molar region and by 2.5 mm in the incisor
region.
3. The shortening of maxilla arch
perimeter is coincident with the eruption of
60

 This posterior remodeling is basically
to keep pace and close contact relation with
the maxillary bone. However, the magnitude
of relocation is less as compared to the
maxilla.
 This posterior relocation thus ceases
after increase in dental arch length is
achieved during childhood.

the maxilla and the magnitude is also the
same. This is basically because of primary

Growth and Development of Palate


71

Oral development in the embryo is demarcated
early in life by the appearance of the prechordal
plate in the bilaminar germ disk on 14th day of
development. The face derives from 5
prominences that surround central depression - the
stomodeum that constitutes the future mouth. The
prominences are:
1.

The single frontonasal prominence.

2.

The paired maxillary prominences.

72

3.
The paired mandibular prominences.
The later two being derivative of the first
branchial arch.
All these prominences and arches arise
from Neural Crest Cell ectomesenchyme.

Formation and Elevation of palatal shelves:
The coincidental development of the tongue
from the floor of the mouth fills the oronasal
chamber intervening between the lateral palatal
shelves.
At 6 weeks the tongue is a small mass of undifferentiated tissue pushing dorsally into the
nasal cavity, palatal shelves develop in a
wedge shape and, because of the presence of
the tongue, grow downward into the floor of
the mouth along either side of the tongue.

85

At 8 ½ weeks, the steps in the palatal
development result in the movement of the
palatal shelves from a vertical position
beside the tongue to a horizontal position
overlying the tongue.

90

This change in the position probably involves
movement of both the tongue and palatal shelves.
Several mechanisms have been proposed for this
rapid elevation of the palatal shelves.
1. Biochemical transformations of the
connective matrix of the shelves.
2. Variations in vasculature and blood
flow to these structures.
3. A sudden increase in their tissue trigger.
4. Rapid differential mitotic growth.

91

5. An intrinsic shelf force.
6. Muscular movement.
7. The withdrawal of the embryo’s face from
against the heart prominence by uprighting of the
head facilitate jaw opening. This jaw opening
reflexes have been implicated in the withdrawal of
the tongue from between the vertical shelves.


92


93


94

8. Pressure differences between the nasal and
oral regions due to tongue muscle contractions
may account for palatal shelf elevation. This
occurs generally at about 8th or 9th week after
conception.
9. It is possible that the nerve supply to the
tongue is thus sufficiently developed to provide
some neuromuscular guidance to the intricate
activity of palatal elevation followed by closure.

95

Fusion of the Palatal Shelves:
During palatal closure i.e. following palatal
elevation.
 The mandible becomes more prognathic.
 The vertical dimension of the stomodeal
chamber increases.

96

Maxillary width remains stable, allowing
shelf contact to occur.
Also forward growth of Meckel’s
cartilage relocates the tongue more
anteriorly, depressing downward and
laterally thus pushing the palatal shelves
slide medially.

97

Generally the epithelium overlying the edges of
the palatal shelves is especially thickened.
 The fusion occurs between the dorsal surfaces
of the fusing palatal shelves and the lower edge of
the midline nasal septum.
 It also occurs anteriorly in the hard palate
region with subsequent merging of the soft palate .

98

Epithelial adherence between contacting palatal
shelves is facilitated by degeneration of the epithelial
cells and a surface coat accumulation of
glycoproteins.
Only the medial edge of the epithelium of the
palatal shelves (in contrast to their oral and nasal
epithelia) undergoes cytodifferentiation involving a
decline of epidermal growth factors receptors that
lead to cell programmed cell death of fusing epithelia
is essential to mesenchymal coalescence of the
shelves.
99

Fusion of the 3 palatal components initially
produces a flat, unarched roof to the mouth.
 The fusing lateral palatal shelves overlap the
anterior primary palate.
The site of junction of the 3 palatal components is
marked by the incisive papilla overlying the incisive
canal.

The line of fusion of the lateral palatal
shelves is traced in the adult by the
midpalatal suture and on the surface by
the midline raphe of the hard palate. This
fusion stitch is minimized in the soft palate
byinvasion of extraterritorial mesenchyme.


103

Ossification of the Palate:
This proceeds during the 8th week intrauterine
from the spread of bone in the mesenchyme of
the fused lateral palatal shelves and from the
trabeculae appearing in the primary palate as
“premaxillary centres” all derived from the
single ossification centre in the maxillae.
Posteriorly the hard palate is ossified by
trabeculae spreading from the single primary
ossification centres of each palatine bone.

Structure of the midpalatal suture has been

Juvenile -- ‘T’ shape serpentine course.
Adulthood-- Iigraw possle.

106

Ossification does not occur in the most superior part
of the palate giving rise to the region of soft palate.


107

Musculature of the Palate:
The myogenic mesenchyme of the first, second and
fourth branchial arches migrate into this faucial
region supplying the musculature of the soft palate
and fauces. The tensor veli palatini is derived from
the 1st arch, the levator palatini and uvular from the
2nd arch, 4th arch gives rise to the trigeminal nerve
innervation for tensor veli palatini muscle and vagus
nerve for other muscles.

109

Growth in the Dimensions of the Palate:
The hard palate grows in length, breadth, and
height becoming an arched palate. The fetal palate
increases in length more rapidly than in width
between 7th and 18th week intrauterine and
widening occurs from 4th month onward.
In early prenatal life the palate is relatively long,
but from the 4th month intrauterine it widens as a
result of midpalatal sutural growth and
appositional growth along the lateral alveolar
110
margin.

At birth the length and breadth of the hard palate
are almost equal. The postnatal increase in
palatal length is due to appositional growth in
the maxillary tuberosity region.


111

During infancy and childhood bone apposition
occurs on the entire inferior surface of the palate and
superior (nasal) surface undergoes resorption. This
remodeling results descent of the palate and
enlargement of the nasal cavity (i.e. to keep pace
with the increasing respiratory requirements).


112

The appositional growth of the alveolar processes
contributes deepening and widening of the vault of
the bony palate and also increases the height and
width of palate. A variable number of transverse
palatal rugae develop in the mucosa covering hard
palate. They appear even before the fusion, which
occurs at 56 days intrauterine.


113

‘V’ Principle of Bang and Enlow in the
Remodelling of the Palate:
As mentioned earlier the palate grows in an inferior
direction by subperiosteal bone deposition on its
entire oral surface and corresponding resorptive
removal on the opposite side. The entire ‘V’
shaped structure thereby moves in a direction
towards the wide end of the ‘V’ and increases in
the overall size at the same time.


114

V principle in sagittal and coronal view


115

Factors in Normal Development of Palate:
1. Elevation of head and lower jaw, opening
of the mouth and movement of tongue.
2. Deficiencies of oxygen, various foodstuffs
or vitamins have been reported causing cleft lip
and palate.
3. Excess of endocrine substances, drugs, and
irradiation has teratogenic effect on the
developing palate.

116

4.
In regards to vascularity, which of course
controls the amount of oxygen and nutrition
determines the normal development of palate.
5. Failure of degeneration of the epithelium
during fusion leads to failure of fusion of the
prominences


117

Anomalies of Palatal Development:
1.Epithelial Pearls: Entrapment of epithelial
rest or pearls in the line of fusion of the palatal
shelves, (particularly in the midline) gives rise
to median palatal rest cysts.


118

Epithelial pearls


119

2. Delay in elevation of palatal shelves
from vertical to the horizontal while head is
growing results in widening gap between the
shelves so they cannot meet leading to cleft
of the palate.
Variations in Clefting of Palate: Cleft
palate is part of number of syndromes like
Mandibulofacial dysostosis (Treacher Collin
Syndrome), Micrognathia (Pierre Robbin
Syndrome) and Orodigito facial dysostosis.

3. High arched palate seen in Marfan’s
Syndrome, Cleidocranial dysostosis Crouzon

2. Torus Palatinus – Genetic anomaly of the
palate is a localized mid palatal overgrowth of
bone of varying size. If prominent, may interfere
with the seating of removable Orthodontic
appliance or upper denture.

MECHANISM OF CLEFT FORMATION.
Clefts of hard and soft palate result from the
defective development of embryonic secondary
palate.
Most clefts of primary palate are due to
variable degrees of mesenchymal defeciencies
in facial processes(or)distortion of the
processes.
Clefts of secondary palate are associated
with grown distortions subsequent to cleft
formation in the primary palate which prevent

145

Poswillo(1968) investigated cleft palate with
micrognathia in rats and concluded that cleft palate
is caused due to-

--interference with intrinsic shelf force.
--excessive head width or diminuitive palatal shelves.

when one parent has the expression of
the gene then 50% of the offsprings have
the same manifestations.
1-2% of the cleft lip and palate cases
belong to this group.

153

Genetic Factors
Occurrence in relatives
Fogh Anderson in 1942 did pedigree studies
and quoted “The mode of inheritence is recessive
with variable expressivity.”
According to Robert’s “Multifactorial
etiology.”Supported by Carter’s and is the most
widely accepted.

154

Classification of relatives with the defect
First degree
one half of the same genes are
inherited e.g siblings,parents and offspring.

Second degree
one quarter of the same genes are
inherited e.g aunts,uncles,neices,nephews.
Third degree
one-eighth of the same genes are
inherited e.g first cousins.
This significance is consistent with Falcon
Multifactorial Threshhold model.

Other malformations
“Incidence of serious malformations in relatives
of cleft lip and palate patients cannot be much
above general population.”
(Fogh and Anderson)
“Incidence is greater in families with a negative
history.”
(Drillen)

160

Environmental Factors
Anatomical variations in uterus leads to
isolated cleft palate.These variations may be due
to :
Uterine physical manipulations.
Alteration in blood supply(hypoxia).
Uterine pressure.
Amount of uterine fluid.

161

-Mothers of children suffering from CL and CP tend
to be relatively elderly,less fertile,to have a high
casuality rate among pregnancies and a higher
proportion of abnormal offspring than general
population.(Wallace 1968)

-‘Habitual aborter’ and emotional stress was implicated
as a cause of CL and CP by Haight and Stark.(1968)

162

Metabolc Alterations
Greater significance since most hormones and
metabolic products transverse the placenta and
influence the embryo.
1. DIABETES
-“If mother is diabetic,chances of child
being a diabetic is 3 times higher.”

Clinical Features Of Cleft Lip And Palate
Natal and Neonatal Teeth.
Congenital absent Teeth.
Supernumery Teeth.
Ectopic Eruption.
Hypoplasis,Microdontia,Macrodontia.
Rotations.
Posterior Cross Bites.

169

Protuberant,mobile premaxilla.
Nasal septum deviated to normal side.
Teeth adjacent to cleft have poor periodontal
support which makes these teeth
--susceptible to premature loss.
--anchorage problems.


170

Types of Facial CleftsClefts between M.N.P
Oblique facial clefts (maxillary process on
one side and M.N.P on the other side.)
Lateral Facial Clefts (between maxillary
and mandibular processes)
Median Facial Cleft (development failure
of frontonasal process derivatives)

171

Facial Growth in Unrepaired
Cleft Lip and Palate
Unilateral CL and CP

Neonatal size of palate remains within normal limits
(Miyazaki 1975)
High frequency of asymmetry between affected and
unaffected sides due to tissue discrepancy in the
anterior end of the minor palatal segment.(Mapes et al
1974)

172

Width of maxilla is greatly increased.
(Subtelny 1955)
Forward rotation and protrusion of premaxilla
due to forces of the tongue.This protrusion
increases with age.(Longacre 1970)
Medial collapse and flattening of alveolar
process on affected side.(Van Limborgh 1964)


173

Bilateral Complete CL and CP

Growth of nasal septum carries the premaxilla
forward through its attachment to the
septopremaxillary ligament.(Latham 1973)


174

Dental Occlusion
Maxillary buccal teeth are usually in normal
buccolingual relatiomship with mandibular
teeth but maxillary incisors are protruded.

In bilateral clefts,incisors show excessive
eruption and canines are inclined towards the
cleft.

175

Supernumery teeth and Aplasia occur more frequently.
Supernumery Teeth
--more common in decidous dentition.

--incidence is decreased as the extent of cleft increases
--greatest in cases of cleft lip.
Aplasia
--lowest in isolated cases of CL and CP.
--increases with increased complexity of cleft.

176

Anterior crossbites occur which may be unilateral
or bilateral.(Dahl 1970)

Upper incisors are retroclined with increased severity
of the cleft.


177

Musculature
Bilateral clefts

Unilateral clefts

Severe underdevelopment
and atrophy of lip muscle.

Upper lip may be
slightly less protrusive
than normal.


178

Conclusion
Excluding the initial tissue defect and
distortion,facial growth proceeds in
reasonably normal fashion in children with
unrepaired
clefts,but the existing
normal growth potential must proceed on the
abnormal substrate.

Orthodontic Management
1.Presurgical Orthopaedics
(a) in preparation of the repair of the lip,
(b) in preparation for the palatal surgery.
2. Early Mixed Dentition Orthodntics
--the correction of gross irregularities causing
functional disturbances of the occlusion.
3. Orthodontic Treatment in the established
Permanent Dentition
--the final correction and detailing of any
malocclusion.

196

Aims Of Orthodontic Management
Phase 1
To facilitate surgery and enhance the functional
and aesthetic result.
To provide support to the parents at a critical time.
To ensure the development of a good facioskeletal
form(dental base relationship) with an acceptable
decidous occlusion and with the potential for easy
correction of irregularities in either the mixed or the
permanent dentition.

197

Phase 2
Abolition of any displacement activities either
anterior or lateral.
Phase 3
The speedy corrections of malocclusions
found,using a system of controlled tooth movements
and where necessary the placement of permanent
teeth in a good relationship for the construction of
fixed or removable prosthesis to replace any missing
permanent teeth where it is not possible to close the
198
gap orthodontically.

MAXILLARY TUBEROSITY


199

Horizontal lengthening of the bony maxillary arch.
Maxillary growth in posterior direction.
Posterior boundary of anterior cranial fossa.
Remodeling at the tuberosity region produces the
lengthening.

202

The stimulus for sutural bone growth
(remodeling) relates to the tension produced by
displacement of that bone and deposition of new
bone is tandem to the displacement and not due
to the new bone on the posterior surface of the
elongating maxillary tuberosity which push the
maxilla against the pterygoid plate as was earlier
thought.


203

Clinical Significance:
1.
The depository growth potential of the
tuberosity allows the clinician to expand the
arch by moving the teeth posteriorly into the
area of bone deposition.
2.
In a Class II molar relation, such distal
molar movement aid in achieving the
treatment goal of a Class I molar
relationship.

204

Lacrimal Suture


205

Lacrimal bone is a diminutive flake of a bony
island with its entire perimeter bounded by
sutural connective tissue contacts, separating it
from the many other surrounding bones.


206

Lacrimal Suture

Collagenous linkage within sutural cartilage.
Slippage of bones along
perilacrimal sutural interface.

Communication:
maxillary ostium
Posterior part of the
hiatus in the middle
meatus.

219

Physiology:
It is lined by mucous membrane
(pseudostratified
columnar
ciliated
epithelium).
Mucociliary mechanism provides the
means for removal of particulate matter
and bacteria.

220

Function:
Imparts resonance to the voice during
speech.
Lightens the skull or overall bone weight
by being hollowed cavities.
Warms the air as it passes into respiratory
system.

222

Primary pneumatisation  early paranasal
sinuses expand into the cartilage walls and
root of the nasal fossae by growth of mucous
membrane sacs into maxillary, sphenoid,
frontal and ethmoid bones.
Starts in 10 weeks I.U from the middle
meatus.
Secondary Pneumatization  sinus enlarges
into bone from their initial small outpocketing
always retaining communication with nasal
fossa through ostia..
Starts in the 5th month intrauterine.

224

The rapid and continuous downward
growth of this sinus after birth brings its
walls in close proximity to the roots of
buccal maxillary teeth and its floor below
its osteal opening.


225

As each tooth erupt, the vacated bone becomes
pneumatised by the expanding maxillary sinus
whose floor descends from its prenatal level above
the nasal floor to its adult level below nasal floor.
Into adult hood the roots of molar teeth
commonly project into sinus lumen.


226


227

Size: Average sinus is 7mm in length and
4mm in height & width and it expands 2mm
vertically and 3mm anteroposteriorly each
year.

region


233

The growth of the orbit can be explained as:
i. Orbit grows by ‘V’ principle
The cone shaped orbital cavity moves (relocation
to remodeling) in a direction towards its wide
opening. Deposits on the inside, thus enlarge the
volume rather than reducing it.


234


235

ii. Enlarging displacement is directly involved.
Sutural bone growth at the many sutures within and
outside the orbit. Orbital floor is displaced and
enlarges in progressive downward and forward
direction along with the rest of maxillary complex.


236

Previous studies by Enlow, Bang and Bjork
have shown that in addition to the lowering
of the nasal floor by downward growth
displacement of the maxillary body, the nasal
floor is further lowered by resorption and
apposition taking place on the oral surface of
hard palate.
The floor of the nasal cavity in adults is
positioned much lower than floor of the
orbital cavity, whereas in child they are at the
same level..
