Introduction• The embryonic period extends from the

beginning of the fourth week till the end of the eighth week.

• The trilaminar embryonic area differentiates as follows:

1] ectoderm providing protection,2] endoderm providing nutrition ,3] mesoderm forming skeletal tissue ,muscle and

blood vascular system

• The fourth week is characterized by the differentiation of the three germ layers and the folding of the embryo

• In the second month the organs and tissues are laid down and the embryo has a distinct human appearance

Phases of development

1)Growth-this is the increase in the size by cell division

2)Morphogenesis-this is the development of form

3)Differentiation-includes the maturation of physiological processes

Folding of the embryo:- The trilaminar germ disc is flattened and pear-shaped .The cells in the

central part grow more rapidly than those at the periphery.Because of the lack of space ,the embryo undergoes head fold ,tail fold and lateral folds by the end of the third week .This converts the flattened germ disc into a cylindrical embryo.

Theories of development

• The growth is strongly influenced by the genetic factors ,but it also can be significantly affected by the environment in the form of nutritional status, degree of physiological activity ,health or illness and a number of similar factors.

• Three main theories in the recent years have attempted to explain the determinants of craniofacial growth:

(1)Bone ,like other tissues ,is the primary determinant of its own growth,

(2)Cartilage is the primary determinant of skeletal growth , while the bone responds secondarily and passively

(3)The soft tissue matrix in which the skeletal elements are embedded as the primary determinant of growth

Functional matrix theory of growth

• This theory was given by MOSS , in 1960.

• He theorizes that growth of the face occurs as the response to functional needs and neurotrophic influences and is mediated by the soft tissue in which the jaws are embedded.

• In this view the soft tissues grows and the bone and cartilage react.

• This phenomenon can be seen readily in humans in three experiments of nature:a)Microcephaly ,

b)Hydrocephaly,

c)Size of the orbit.

Development of face• The most typical feature in the development of the head and neck is formed by

the pharyngeal or branchial arches.

• These arches appear in the 4th and 5th weeks of development and contribute to the characteristic external appearance of the embryo.

• Initially there are bars of mesenchymal tissue separated by deep clefts known as pharyngeal or branchial clefts .

• With the development of the arches and clefts ,a number of outpocketings arise ,the pharyngeal pouches .

• Although the development of pharyngeal arches ,clefts ,and pouches resembles formation of gills in fish and amphibia,in the human embryo; real gills (branchia)are never formed.

• Therefore the term pharyngeal has been adapted.

• When the embryo is 4 ½ weeks old five mesenchymal prominenses can be recognised

-the frontonasal prominence , a slightly rounded elevation cranial to the stomodeum

-the maxillary prominences (dorsal portion of the 1st arch),lateral to the stomodeum ;

-the mandibular prominences ,caudal to the stomodeum; -Development of face is later complemented by the formation of the nasal

prominences .

Stomodeum

1 Frontonasal prominence

2 Maxillary prominences

2 Mandibular prominences

Pharyngeal arches

• Each pharyngeal arch is charrecterized by its own muscular components ,their nerve component and it’s own arterial component.

First pharyngeal arch• Consists of two portions: Dorsal:-also known as the maxillary process , giving rise to premaxilla ,maxilla, zygomatic

bone and part of the temporal bone.

Ventral:- also known as the mandibular process , which contains the MECKEL’S CARTILAGE. During further development , Meckel’s cartilage disappears except for two small portions at it’s dorsal end that persist and form the Incus and Malleus.

Musculature of the 1st pharyngeal arch includes the muscle of mastication (temporalis,masseter,lateral pterygoid and medial pterygoid),anterior belly of the digastric,mylohyoid,tensor tympani and tensor palatini.

Nerve supply to the muscles of the 1st arch is provided by Mandibular branch of Trigeminal nerve.

Sensory supply of the skin of the face is provided by Ophthalmic , Maxillary and Mandibular branches of the Trigeminal nerve.

Muscles of the different arches do not always attach to the bony or cartilagenous components of their own arch but sometimes migrate into surrounding regions. The origin of these muscles can be traced ,since their nerve supply is derived from the arch of origin.

Second pharyngeal arch• The cartilage of the second arch (hyoid arch)is called as

REICHERT’S CARTILAGE which gives rise to the stapes ,styloid process of the temporal bone , stylohyoid ligament, the lesser horn and upper part of the body of the hyoid bone .

• Muscles of the hyoid arch are the stapedius , stylohyoid,posterior belly of digastric ,auricular and mucles of facial expressions.

• Facial nerve-the nerve of the 2nd arch supplies all these muscles.

Third pharyngeal arch• The cartilage of this arch produces the lower part of the body

and the greater horn of the hyoid bone.

• Muscle of this arch is the Stylopharyngeus muscle which is innervated by the Glossopharyngeal nerve.

Fourth and Sixth pharyngeal arches• Cartilagenuos components of the 4th and 6th pharyngeal arches fuse

to form the thyroid, cricoid , arytenoid , corniculate and cuneiform cartilages of the larynx.

• Muscles of the fourth arch are supplied by the Superior laryngeal branch of the Vagus nerve and the intrinsic muscles of the larynx are supplied by Recurrent laryngeal branch of Vagus nerve

Pharyngeal pouches• The human embryo has five pairs of pharyngeal pouches.• The last one of these is atypical and is considered as a part of the 4th

• First pharyngeal pouch:It forms a stalk like diverticulum –the tubotympanic recess; one side of this comes in contact with the external auditary meatus The distal aspect of this widens in a sac like structure ,the primitive tympanic or

middle ear cavity The proximal part remains narrow forming auditary (eustacian )tube. The lining of the tympanic cavity forms the tympanic membrane or the eardrum

• Second pharyngeal pouch:The epithelial lining forms the primordium of the palatine tonsil.• Third pharyngeal pouch: It is characterized by a dorsal and a ventral wing .The dorsal wing

proliferates to form the inferior parathyroid gland and the ventral wing forms the thymus

• Fourth pharyngeal pouch:Epithelium of the dorsal wing of this pouch forms the superior

parathyroid gland.• Fifth pharyngeal pouch :The 5th pouch is the last one to develop and is considered to be a part

of the 4th pouch.This pouch leads to the development of ultimobranchial body which in future leads to the development of thyroid gland.

Pharyngeal grooves

• The 2nd ,3rd & 4th pharyngeal grooves merge together to form the cervical sinus which with further development disappears .

• The 1st pharyngeal groove forms the external auditory meatus which is the only invagination on the side of the head.

Pharyngeal cleft• The 5 week embryo is characterized by the presence of 4 pharyngeal

clefts of which only one contribute to the development of the definitive structure of the embryo.

• The dorsal part of the 1st cleft gives rise to the external auditory meatus

Clinical correlates • Branchial fistulas :When the 2nd pharyngeal arch fails to grow caudally over the 3rd and the 4th

arches , leaving remnants of the 2nd 3rd &4th clefts in contact with the surface by a narrow canal.

• Internal branchial fistulas :It is very rare and in this the cervical sinus is connected to the lumen of the

pharynx by a small canal which usually opens in the tonsillar region.

The frontonasal prominence forms the: Forehead and the bridge of the nose Frontal and nasal bones

The maxillary prominences form the: Upper cheek regions and most of the upper lip Maxilla, zygomatic bone, secondary palate

Derivatives of Facial Components

The mandibular processes fuse and form the: Chin, lower lip, and lower cheek regions Mandible

The lateral nasal prominences form the ala of the nose

The medial nasal prominences fuse and form the intermaxillary segment

Chronological development of different parts of the head

• The development of the face occurs mainly between 5 – 8 weeks• The lower jaw (mandible) is the first to form (4th week)• The facial proportions develop during the fetal period (9th week to

birth)• During infancy & childhood, following the development of teeth

and paranasal sinuses, the facial skeleton increases in size and contribute to the definitive shape of the face

THE FACE and ORAL REGION

a. Face consists of a few primordial tissuemasses partially surrounding the future oral region.

b. The oral cavity (stomodeum) is an ectodermal depression separated from the foregut by the Oral plate formed of ectoderm on one side and endoderm on the other.

c. The face is dominated by the frontalprominence of the overhanging forebrain.

d. Laterally, the maxillary processes of the 1st branchial arch are visible.

• 1. On either side of the frontal prominence are horseshoe-shaped elevations are found

around the nasal placodes.• a. Medial limbs are nasomedial processes• b. Lateral limbs are nasolateral processes

• 2. Growing toward midline are the maxillary processes, approaching mandibular arches and merging with them at the angle of the mouth.

• a. Maxillary processes grow to crowd the nasal processes closer together.• b. Nasomedial processes grow quickly, pushing the frontal prominence , then fuse with

the maxillary processes to complete the arch

of the upper jaw.• c. Nasomedial tissues give rise to philtrum of

lip

DEVELOPMENT OF MAXILLA

During the initial 2 weeks the maxillary prominences continue to increase in size .

The cleft between the medial nasal prominences and the maxillary prominence is lost.

Simultaneously they grow in a medial direction thereby compressing the medial nasal prominences toward the midline.

• Initially the maxillary and the lateral nasal prominences are separated by a deep furrow ,the nasolacrimal groove.

• The nasolacrimal duct then runs from the medial corner of the eye to the inferior meatus of the nasal cavity.

• The maxillary prominence then enlarge to form the cheek and maxillae .

Development of nasolacrimal duct

NASOLACRIMAL DUCT

– connects anterior eye to nasal cavity

- Develops as solid cordfrom medial angle of eye to nasal cavity- becomes canalized.

Obstructed Duct - failure of duct to canalize;is opened surgically for tears to drain to nasal cavity

DEVELOPMENT OF MANDIBLE

• “The Human Mandible Has No One Design For Life . Rather It Remodels Through The Stages Of Life ,From The Slim Arbiter Of Things To Come In The Infants ,Through The Powerful Dentate Machine And Even Weapon In The Full Flesh Of Maturity ,To The Pencil-thin Parcelain Like Problem That We Struggle To Repair In The Adversity Of Old Age.”

- E Poswillo,1988

• The first structure to develop in the region of the lower jaw is the mandibular division of the trigeminal nerve.

• The prior presence of the nerve has been postulated as requisite for inducing osteogenesis by the production of neurotropic hormones.

• MECKEL’S CARTILAGE ,of the first branchial arch is responsible for the formation of mandible.

• Single ossification centre for each half of the mandible arises in the 6th week i.u.

• Ossification begins below and around the Inferior Alveolar Nerve and its Incisive branch and upwards to form a trough for the developing teeth.

• Spread of intramembranous ossification dorsally and ventrally forms the body and the Ramus of the mandible .

• The shape and size of he fetal mandible undergo considerable transformation during it’s growth and development .

• The ascending ramus of the neonatal mandible is low and wide ;the coronoid process is relatively large and projects well above the condyle ;the body is merely an open shell containing the buds of the deciduous teeth.

• The initial separation of the right and left bodies of the mandible at the midline SYMPHYSIS MENTI is gradually eliminated between the 4th and 12th months postnatally.

• The main sites of postnatal mandibular growth are at the condylar cartilages ,the posterior borders of the ramii and the alveolar ridges

Development of nose

• By the end of 4th week, bilateral oval-shaped ectodermal thickenings called ‘nasal placodes’ appear on each side of the lower part of the frontonasal prominence

• Nasal placodes are primordia of the nose and nasal cavities.

Frontonasal prominence

Nasal placode

Nasal placode

• Mesenchymal cells proliferate at the margin of the placodes and produce horse-shoe shaped swellings around these.

• The sides of these swellings are called ‘medial’ and ‘lateral’ nasal prominences

• The placodes now lie in the floor of a depression called ‘nasal pits’

Each lateral nasal prominence is separated from the maxillary swelling by nasolacrimal groove

Embryo: 6 weeks

• With the formation of the medial and lateral nasal prominences, the nasal placodes lie in the floor of depressions called the nasal pits

• By the end of 6th week, nasal pits deepen and form nasal sacs

• Initially the nasal sacs are separated from the oral cavity by oronasal membrane.

• The oronasal membrane ruptures by the 6th week, communicating the primitive nasal cavities with the oral cavity

• These communications are called the primitive choana and are located posterior to the primary palate

• After the development of the secondary palate, the choana change their position and become located at the junction of nasal cavity and the pharynx

• The nasal septum develops as a downgrowth from the internal parts of merged medial nasal prominences

• Fuses with the palatine process in 9-12 weeks, superior to the hard palate

• The superior, middle and inferior conchae develop on the lateral wall of each nasal cavity

• The ectodermal epithelium in the roof of each nasal cavity becomes specialized as the olfactory epithelium

• The olfactory cells of the olfactory epithelium give origin to olfactory nerve fibers that grow into the olfactory bulb

• Intermaxillary Segment: As a result of medial growth of the maxillary prominences ,the two medial nasal prominences merge not only at the surface but also at a deeper level.

• The structure formed by the two merged prominences is called as the intermaxillary segment.

• It is composed of : A)Labial component –which forms the philtrum of the upper lip. B)Upper jaw component –which carries the four incisor teeth. C)Palatal component-which forms the triangular primary palate

The medial nasal swellings enlarge, grow medially and merge with each other in the midline to form the intermaxillary segment

Human embryo: 7 weeks

Development of palate (Palatogenesis)

The palate develops from two primordia:

- The Primary palate-The Secondary palate

• Begins at the end of the 5th week• Gets completed by the end of the 12th

week• The most critical period for the

development of palate is from the end of 6th week to the beginning of 9th week

The Primary Palate

• Begins to develop: Early in the 6th week From the deep part of the

intermaxillary segment, as median palatine process

• Lies behind the premaxillary part of the maxilla

• Fuses with the developing secondary palate

The primary palate represents only a small part lying anterior to the incisive fossa, of the adult hard palate

Hard palate

Primary palate

Soft palate

Secondary palate

The Secondary Palate

• Is the primordia of hard and soft palate posterior to the incisive fossa

• Begins to develop: Early in the 6th week From the internal aspect of

the maxillary processes, as lateral palatine process

• In the beginning, the lateral palatine processes project inferomedially on each side of the tongue

• With the development of the jaws, the tongue moves inferiorly.

• During 7th & 8th weeks, the lateral palatine processes elongate and ascend to a horizontal position above the tongue

Tongue

• Gradually the lateral palatine processes:

Grow medially and fuse in the median plane

Also fuse with the:• Posterior part of the

primary palate &

• The nasal septum

• Fusion with the nasal septum begins anteriorly during 9th week, extends posteriorly and is completed by 12th week

Bone develops in the anterior part to form the

hard palate. The posterior part develops as muscular

soft palate

Changes in Face during Fetal period

• Mainly result from changes in the proportion & relative positioning of facial structures

• In early fetal period the nose is flat and mandible underdeveloped. They attain their characteristic form during fetal period

• The enlargement of brain results in the formation of a prominent forehead

• Eyes initially appear on each side of frontonasal prominence ;move medially

• Ears first appear on lower portion of lower jaw, grow in upper direction to the level of the eyes

Development of ear• The three parts of the ear--External -Middle and -Internal ,arise from separate ,diverse embryonic

origins .

• The external ear forms around the first branchial groove which deepens to become the external acuostic meatus .

• Malleus and Incus are derived from the dorsal end of the first branchial arch cartilage –MECKEL’S CARTILAGE.

• Stapes arise from the dorsal end of the second branchial arch cartilage- REICHERT’S CARTILAGE .

• This is the first sensory organ to begin development .

Development of eye• The light sensitive portion of the eye retina ,is the outgrowth from the

forebrain ,projecting bilaterally as the optic vesicles which are connected to the brain by the optic stalks, this results in a thickening called as lens placodes.

• These placodes invaginates in it’s centre by the development of peripheral folds .

• The optic vesicles invaginate partly to form the double layered optic cusps and the optic stalk becomes the optic nerve .

• The outer layer of the optic cup acquires pigmentation to become the pigmented layer of the retina.

Development of lips

• Lower lip :The mandibular processes of the two sides grow towards each other and fuse in the midline ,they form the lower margin of the stomatodeum .

• Upper lip :Each maxillary process now grows medially and fuses, first with the lateral nasal process and the with the medial nasal process.

• The mesodermal basis of the lateral part of the lip is formed from the maxillary process.

• The overlying skin is derived from the ectoderm covering this process.

• The mesodermal basis of the medial part of the lip(PHILTRUM)is formed from the frontonasal process .

• The muscles of the face (including those of the lips)are derived from the 2nd branchial arch and are supplied by the facial nerve.

Development of tongue

• The tongue appears in the embryo of approximately 4 weeks in the form of two lateral lingual swelling and one medial swelling –TUBERCULUM IMPAR .

• The three swellings orginate from the 1st pharyngeal arch.• As the 3 swellings increase in size ,they overgrow the tuberculum impar

and merge with each other thus forming the anterior two thirds or the body of the tongue.

• At the junction of the anterior 2/3rd and the posterior 1/3rd is a groove called as the SULCUS TERMINALIS.

• Sensory innervation-2/3rd - Mandibular branch of Trigeminal nerve • Sensory innervation-1/3rd - Glossopharyngeal nerve . • Motor innervation Hypoglossal nerve• Special sensory innervation - Chorda tympani branch of Facial nerve

Causes of cleft lip and palate

• Genetic disorders• Chromosomal abnormalities• Environmental factors

(teratogenic agents)• Mechanical factors

Chromosomal abnormalities• Trisomy 13

– Rare chromosomal abnormality– The baby is born with 47

chromosomes instead of 46 due to an extra copy of chromosome 13

– Multiple congenital malformations-

• severe brain bnormalities,• Congenital heart defects,• Polydactyly,• Spina bifida,• Severe eye defects. – Mean life expectancy is 130 days

Environmental factors

• Recognized teratogenic agent:– Alcohol overdose

Mechanical factors

• Intrauterine crowding :

-tumors, -multiple births,- Placenta

abnormalities

Incidence of cleft lip and palate

• 1:750 live births

• Clefts of lip is more frequent and is more severe in males

• Clefts of palate is more frequent in females

Facial clefting. A, Absence of the intermaxillary segment with hypotelorism. The maxillaryprocesses form the normal lateral thirds of the upper lips. The midline rectangular defect indicates the site of thedeficient intermaxillary segment with absent prolabium, incisors, and primary palate. There was consequent cleftingof the secondary palate. Absent intermaxillary segment with hypotelorism signifies a high likelihood ofholoprosencephaly. B, True midline cleft of the upper lip and philtrum with hypertelorism. The nose is normal. A7-month-old girl with transethmoidal cephalocele and left optic nerve dysplasia (morning glory syndrome). Truemidline cleft lip signifies the high likelikhood of midline craniofaciocerebral and optic dysraphysm. C and D,Midline cleft lip is also found in association with Mohr syndrome (orofacial digital syndrome II [OFD II]). Thepresence of reduplicated great toes bilaterally helps to identify OFD II and to distinguish it from OFD I.

Facial clefting. A, Right unilateral common cleft lip and palate in a 4-day-old girl. The cleftextends into the base of a widened nostril. The intermaxillary segment is distorted. B, Bilateral common cleft lip andcleft palate with discordant forward growth of the intermaxillary segment in a 4-year-old boy. The normal canthi,alae nasi, and lateral thirds of the lip and jaw indicate normal formation and merging of the maxillary and nasolateralprocesses. The abortive prolabium, premaxillary segment, and central incisors attach to the vomer and project wellanterior to their expected position, because failure to merge the facial processes led to discordant growth of themaxillary and intermaxillary segments. C and D, Bilateral common cleft lip and palate prior to (C) and following(D) surgical repair. There is near-symmetric restoration of the nose and upper lip, with some residual distortioncaused by scar.

A long, thin band-like scar extends across the scalp and face from the temporoparietal region through the cheek and the corner of the mouth to the lower lip. The large posterior zone of atrophic skin, absent hair, tissuebulging, and inferior displacement of the ear indicate the site of an associated temporoparietal encephalocele. Imaging studies showed notching and separation of teeth where the band crossed the alveolar ridge.
