Orofacial Development and Functions in Dentistry
INTRODUCTION :
Orofacial structures -
Dental arches
Naso-maxillary complex
Mandible
Muscles of facial expression
Muscles of mastication & deglutition
Various functions performed by the orofacial complex
Mastication
Deglutition
Respiration
Speech
Passive muscle function
Mastication :
Complex activity aimed at breaking down food preparatory
to swallowing
Murphy
- 6 phases
1) preparatory – food positioned over the tongue
2) food contact – momentary pause, evaluation of viscosity
3) crushing
4) tooth contact
5) guiding phase – contact become unilateral
transgression of mandibular molars
6) centric occlusion
Deglutition :
Act of swallowing
Types –
Infantile Swallow
Mature Swallow
Infantile / Immature / visceral swallow
1 The jaws are apart, with the tongue between the gum pads
2
.
The mandible is stabilized mainly by contraction of the
muscles innervated by the VII
(
seventh) cranial nerve and the
interposed tongue
3
.
The swallow is guided and to a great extent controlled by
sensory interchange between the lips and the tongue
MATURE / SOMATIC SWALLOW
Characteristic features
1. The teeth are together
2. The mandible is stabilized - mandibular elevators
3.
The tongue tip is held against the palate above and behind
the incisors
4.
There are minimal contractions of the lips during the mature
swallow.
Theories of deglutition:
1) Theory of constant propulsion
2) Theory of oral expulsion
3) Theory of negative pressure
4) Theory of integral function
Phases of deglutition:
Oral phase
Pharyngeal phase :
Esophageal stage :
RESPIRATION:
Inherent reflex
evoked spontaneously at birth
aided by posture of mandible & hyoid
normal – nasal breathing
Mouth Breathing Long Face Syndrome
Passive
Muscular function
Neutral zone
Trajectorial theory of forces
(Wolff’s Law)
Trajectorial theory :
Orientation of the bony trabeculae
- pathways of maximal pressure & tension
Trabeculae are thicker where stresses are greater
Vertical trajectories of
maxilla:
a)
Fronto-nasal buttress
b)
Malar-zygomatic buttress
c)
Ptearygoid buttress
Horizontal trajectories
:
a. Hard palate
b. Orbital ridges
c.
Zygomatic arches
d. Palatal bones
e. Lesser wings of sphenoid
Wolf’s Law :
Bone ---
pressure/ tension ---
remodeling ---
change in form
Architecture of the bone is such that it can resist the forces which
are brought to bear upon it with the use of as little tissue as
possible
Every change in the form and the function of a bone or of their
function alone is followed by certain definite changes in their
internal architecture, and equally definite secondary alterations
in their external confirmation
CONCLUSION:
“An orthodontist can establish a perfect occlusal
relationship, but unless he takes into consideration the
effects of the use of these teeth, unless he makes
allowances for the manifold environmental functional
influences, the delicately responsive bony structures are apt
to change, and the tooth positions will change with them.”
