    1. Post natal growth of the maxilla and mandible occurs in three periods: infancy, childhood, and adolescence. 2. The mandible undergoes significant transformation after birth, growing in length, width, and height through bone deposition at the condyle, rami, and alveolar ridges. 3. Growth of the mandible continues postnatally through adolescence, more so than other facial bones, resulting in changes to its morphology.

    POST NATAL GROWTH

     Itis defined as the first 20 years of


    growth after birth
     Divided into three periods
    1. Infancy
    2. Childhood
    3. Adolescence
    TIMING OF GROWTH

    WIDTH LENGTH HEIGHT


    POST NATAL GROWTH OF
    MANDIBLE
    • The shape and size of diminutive fetal mandible
    undergo considerable transformation during its growth
    &development.
    • The assending ramus of the neonatal mandible is low
    &wide
    • The coronoid process is relatively large &projects well
    above the condyle
    • The body is merely an open shell containing the buds
    and partial crowns of the deciduous teeth.
    • Mandibukar canal runs low in the body
    • The initial separation of the right & left bodies of the
    mandible at the symphysis menti is gradually
    eliminated between 4th month and 12th month after
    birth when ossification converts the syndesmosis into
    synostosis, uniting the two halves
     Although the mandible appears as a single bone in the adult, it is developmentally &
    functionally divisible into several sub units.
     Basal bone of the body forms one unit, to which are attached the alveolar,
    coronoid, angular, condylar processes & the chin.

     Of all the facial bones, the mandible undergoes the most growth postnatally &shows
    greater variation in morphology
     Limited growth occurs at symphysis menti until fusion occurs

    Main sites of post


    natal growth
    • Condyle
    • Posterior
    borders of rami
    • Alveolar ridges
     The areas ofbone deposition largely account for increase in height, length and
    width of the mandible
