INTRODUCTION
• Intramembranous ossification—
formation of bone in a membrane.
• Endochondral ossification—
bony replacement of a cartilage
model.
Mechanisms of
Intramembranous ossification
bone formation
and growth • occurs during embryonic
development in sheet-like
osteogenic membranes. The bones
of the calvarium, facial bones, most
of the mandible, and the clavicle
are formed by intramembranous
ossification.
Mechanisms of Endochondral ossification
bone formation
and growth • Endochondral ossification occurs in
all other bones of the skeleton. It
begins in ossification centres in
cartilage models of the bones and
spreads out from these primary
ossification centres. Growth at
primary ossification centres causes
expansion.
CONTROL OF CRANIOFACIAL
GROWTH
• Some researchers believe that there is
tight genetic control of facial growth at
primary growth cartilages in the facial
skeleton, the nasal septal cartilage for
maxillary growth, and the condylar
cartilage formandibular growth. Although
these cartilages are necessary for facial
growth they do not appear to be primary
growth centres.
CONTROL OF CRANIOFACIAL
GROWTH
• Other researchers believe that growth
occurs due to growth of surrounding
soft tissues, the ‘functional matrix’
theory

Pattern of
• In studies of growth and development,
the concept of pattern is an important
one. Pattern in general terms
growth indicates the proportionality of the
given object in relation to its various
sizes.
• However, in the concept of growth, it
refers not only to the proportionality
at a point of time but also to changes
in this proportionality over a period of
time
• There is an axis of increased growth
Cephalocaudal extending from head towards the
gradient of feet
• In fetal life, about the third month of
growth intrauterine development (IUD), head
occupies 50 percent of the total body
length and within the head the
cranium is large relative to the face.
The trunk and limbs are rudimentary.
• At birth: head-39 percent of total body
Cephalocaudal length , Legs-1/3rd of total body length
• ln adults: head-12 percent of total body
gradient of length , Legs- 1/2 of the total body length
Therefore, with growth, trunk and limbs grow
growth faster than the head and face
• Even within the head and face, the
Cephalocaudal cephalocaudal growth gradient
strongly affects proportions and
gradient of growth leads to changes in proportion with
growth.

Growth fields
• The outside and inside
surfaces of bone are
blanketed by mosaic-like
pattern of soft tissues,
cartilage or osteogenic
membrane called as
“growth field”
Drift
Cortical drift is the type of
growth movement occuring
towards the depository surface
by a combination of resorption
and deposition.
