“…dIsCussIOn In pathological conditions mandibular measurements can vary and alter the mandibular angle, which can lead to malocclusion and orthodontic problems in adults. 8 In some studies, researchers found variations and decreased values of the condylar angle as the gestational period evolved. 1,2,13,15 A study of the mandibular angle of 162 fetuses between 9 and 40 WPC showed that the mean values were 122±8° with no significant differences between trimesters nor between left and right HMs.…”

“…Previous studies report that mastication causes a decrease in the mandibular angle between birth and adult life. 3,8,9 This suggests that the mandibular angle does not complete its development in the intrauterine period but throughout childhood, puberty and early adulthood and is influenced by mechanical factors.…”

“…3 With the advent of Functional Matrix Theory, however, a number of theories emerged addressing bone structure growth and development. 8 The condyle undoubtedly plays a major role in mandibular growth but it is not alone since mandibular growth is a complex process that cannot be explained away in simplistic terms. 3 Research on fetal mandibular growth basically correlates the development of mandibular structures with fetus age.…”

Objective: To investigate growth asymmetry between the left and right hemimandibles (HMs) during the 2nd and early 3rd trimester of pregnancy. Methods: Sixty eight hemimandibles (34 mandibles) of fetuses were used-20 female and 14 male-preserved in 10% formalin solution, and the following measurements were performed: Condyle-Coronoid Process (Co-CP), Gonion-Coronoid Process (Go-CP), Gonion-Gnathion (Go-Gn), Condyle-Gnathion (Co-Gn), Symphyseal Height (SH), Mandibular Angle (MA). The data were collected, tabulated and analyzed with the aid of SPSS software, version 11.0, 2005. One-way ANOVA test was performed to compare the mean values of anatomical measurements of the right and left HMs. Gestational ages were divided into second trimester (Period 1: 13-18 weeks and Period 2: 18-24 weeks), and early third trimester (Period 3: 24-30 weeks) of pregnancy. Results: We noted a slight growth rate asymmetry in Go-Gn, Co-CP, Co-Gn, Go-CP and SH, comparing the left and right mandibular halves, between the 2nd and early 3rd trimester of pregnancy, although not statistically significant (p > 0.05). It was also found that the mandibular angle decreased and showed a slight-though statistically significant (p < 0.05)-asymmetry in the same prenatal period. Conclusion: The authors concluded that there was a slight asymmetry in the growth rate of measurements Go-Gn, Co-CP, Co-Gn, Go-CP and SH, comparing the left with the right hemimandible between the 2nd and early 3rd trimester of gestation.

“…En particular, los procesos que tienen lugar a escala tisular y celular resultan relevantes para comprender el origen y mantenimiento de los patrones observables a nivel morfológico (Atchley y Hall, 1991;Hall, 2003). La complejidad de estos procesos puede ser interpretada en el marco teórico de la biología craneofacial establecida por Enlow (1963Enlow ( , 1966, Enlow y Hans, (1996) y Moss (1970Moss ( , 1997a que permite establecer un modelo de crecimiento de la estructura anatómica, considerando direcciones de cambio específicas y teniendo en cuenta los desplazamientos primarios (i.e. poblaciones celulares locales) y secundarios de áreas puntuales como consecuencia de su interacción con otros componentes del sistema craneofacial en el desarrollo y las demandas funcionales de los tejidos blandos circundantes.…”
