•

Major shift in the past 25 years
Multisystem environment
More than "straight teeth."
Changing of the specialty to Dentofacial
Orthopedics
• Teeth can literally be used as a handle to
manipulate facial changes
• Age-oriented therapy (i.e., early treatment)
• Literature is ambivalent
www.indiandentalacademy.com
INTRODUCTION
• Hamilton :Orthodontists are an interesting, com­plex
egocentric, 'almost' omniscient, quality oriented and
stubborn group
• ­85 % agree and 7 % disagree­ alter the skeletal pattern
of a growing child,
• ­74 % : earlier the correction of the skeletal problem,
the greater the chances of success and stability
• ­25 % : European colleagues were more advanced in
growth guidance.
• ­67 % : earlier orthodontics
• ­72 % : prevent nonspecialist treatment and inroads by
pediatric dentists and general practitioners
• ­ 71 % : patient compliance
www.indiandentalacademy.com
INTRODUCTION
• 78 % : simple biteplate ­ maxillary constriction ­
mandibular entrapment
• 21 % : mandibular growth could be stimulated beyond
its natural potential.
• 59 % :condylar heads of the mandible and glenoid
fossa could be remodeled
• 96% : Maxillary expansion
• 85 % : airway problems
• 91 % : prolonged thumb or finger sucking and dummy
sucking
• 69% : tongue thrust and posture
• 80% : no causative relationship between functional
appliances and TMDs
www.indiandentalacademy.com
INTRODUCTION
• Correction of malocclusion, primarily by means of
controlled movement of the developing and
mature dentition into a desirable occlusal
relationship
• Control and modification of growth of skeletal
structures of the craniofacial complex, especially
via tooth borne appliances
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Historical perspective
• Genetic control theory:
­inheritance and immutability of normal and
abnormal facial form
­ genotype supplies all information required
for phenotypic expression

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Historical perspective
• Late 1890s: Wolff’s law and Roux hypothesis:
changes in functional stress produced changes in internal
bone architecture and external shape
• Early 1900s: Pierre Robin: monobloc
­ passive positioning device
• Modified from bite jumping vulcanite maxillary guide
planes designed by Norman Kingsley (1880)
• Vorbissplatte: Hotz

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Historical perspective
• Viggo Andresen : Activator
• Lischer’s theory:
If abnormal musculature can exacerbate existing
malocclusions, can not the same muscles be used
to correct these problems?
• Andresen: modified Hawley type retainer with
lower lingual horse shoe flange
Significant sagittal basal bone and neuromuscular
improvement
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Historical perspective
• Initially not accepted in US:
­ facial growth could not be affected
­ tooth position can be altered with
appropriate appliances and biomechanics

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Theories of growth
• Genetic theory
• Sutural growth theory: Sicher (1947): growth at the
sutures results in growth of cranial vault and
downward and forward growth of the midface
• Cartilage­ directed growth theory:
Scott (1956): synchondroses, nasal septum and
mandibular condyle are centers of growth
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Theories of growth
• Functional matrix hypothesis:
Melvin Moss (1960)
• Craniofacial skeleton develops initially and grows in
direct response to its extrinsic, epigenetic
environment
• Functional matrix and skeletal unit
• “ Bones do not grow, bones are grown.”
(1972)
www.indiandentalacademy.com

­ Moss
Theories of growth
• Servosystem theory of craniofacial growth: Alexandre
Petrovic (1970s)
• 2 factors:
­ hormonally regulated growth of the midface and
anterior cranial base, which provides a constantly
changing reference input via the occlusion
­ rate­limiting effect of growth of the midface on the
growth of the mandible
www.indiandentalacademy.com
SERVOSYSTEM THEORY OF FACIAL
GROWTH

www.indiandentalacademy.com
• Growth control involves a multitude of factors
• Interaction that occurs among them is often
highly important
• Local and regional extrinsic factors :tissue
contacts, muscles, blood supply and nerve
signals
• General factors :STH, somatomedin, thyroxine,
and sex hormones
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Petrovic 1977
• Demonstrate qualitative and quantitative
relationship between observed and experimental
findings.
• Broader understanding of orthodontic problems,
and action of appliances
• Familiarity of orthodontists with cybernetics
www.indiandentalacademy.com

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Importance of Discontinuities

•Growth prediction , treatment planning , decision making
•Stability of occlusion after it is established
•Genotype does not directly influence the phenotype

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Functional appliances
Place the mandible in a forward postural position
Increase the condylar cartilage growth rate and amount.
Sagittal deviation produced by the functional appliance decreases
thro the supplementary forward growth of the mandible
Deviation signal simultaneously decreases
Supplementary growth rate of the cartilage and the lengthening of
the mandible also decreases

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Periodic increase in the thickness

Increases in LPM and RDP activity

Increase in the rate and amount of condylar
cartilage growth

www.indiandentalacademy.com
• Appliance is removed after the growth is
completed - little or no relapse
• Removed before growth - no significant
relapse is detected if a good intercuspation is
achieved during the experimental phase
• If a good intercuspation is not achieved comparator of the servosystem imposes an
increased or decreased condylar growth rate
until a state of intercuspal stability is
established
• No genetically predetermined final length of
the mandible has been detected in these
experiments.

The Sensory Engram

• Collection of feedback loops
• Blueprint of ideal muscular function/position
• CNS tends to operate along these feedback loops

www.indiandentalacademy.com
Optimality of Function

•Minimum deviation signal
•CNS always tries to revert back to optimal position

www.indiandentalacademy.com
For every unit of Growth hormone released,
the amount of growth in the maxilla is less than
in the mandible.

ESTIMATION OF CONDYLAR
GROWTH DIRECTION
( Stutzmann & Petrovic )
• Correlation between the growth direction
of the condyle and the sagittal
distribution of dividing cells in condylar
cartilage

www.indiandentalacademy.com
• Charlier et al 1968, 1969, Petrovic et al
1975: Distribution of dividing cells in
sagittal section of condylar cartilage of
juvenile rats
• Histologic and radiographic study
• Results: Treatment with both postural
hyperpropulsor and and growth hormone
STH produced increase in growth rate of
condylar cartilage as compared to controls
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Activator:
• Location of increase of dividing cells:
- more posterior in hyperpropulsor
- more anterior in STH

CONCLUSION
• Condylar growth direction presents spontaneous variations
as a function of the age of the animal and the time of year; it
can be modified by different experimental conditions
• Cybernetic model of the mechanisms controlling
mandibular growth based on research findings enables a
better understanding of the biologic phenomena involved in
mandibular growth rotation
• Measurement of this parameter in estimating condylar
cartilage growth direction may become a valuable element
in diagnosis and projection of treatment effectiveness in
dentofacial orthopedics

Studies on functional appliances: • Arch width development in Class II patients treated with Fränkel appliance - McDougall, McNamara, and Dierkes AJO-DO 1982 Jul • 60 treated with FR 1 and 2 and 47 untreated cases • changes in lingual, buccal, and alveolar arch widths were compared. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 128. Studies on functional appliances: • expansion of the maxillary and mandibular dental arches and their supporting structure occurs routinely with a functional regulator (FR-1 or FR2) • largest expansion in the premolar and molar regions, lesser in the canine region; in the maxilla narrower arches tend to expand more than wider arches www.indiandentalacademy.com
