Introduction Since Cephalometrics introduced in 1930, originally used to reveal The Anatomy of head
Longitudinal study is possible, soon employed to test various Concepts of mechanisms of postnatal growth of head www.indiandentalacademy.com
Introduction Longitudinal Cephalometrics analysis of profile radiographs shows that facial shape is remarkably constant during growth
www.indiandentalacademy.com
• Until the use of metallic implants the extent to which the mand & maxilla rotate during growth was not appreciated
• The Rotation tends to be masked by surface remodeling
www.indiandentalacademy.com
• Lande in 1952 observed that the lower border of the mand becomes less steeply inclined • The phrase “GROWTH ROTATION” was introduced in 1955 by Bjork • With the use of metallic implants, He could infer the sites & amt of growth & resorption • Superimposing 2 consecutive tracings showed that the older Mand rotated www.indiandentalacademy.com

Forward Rotation (Bjork) Counterclockwise Rotation (shudy) Posterior growth is greater than Anterior
Backward ward Rotation (Bjork) Clockwise Rotation (shudy) Anterior growth is greater than posterior

TERMINOLOGIES • 1965-Schudy introduced clockwise and counterclockwise rotation. • 1969-Bjork discussed different directions of rotation of the mandibular implant line and the relation of these to mandibular form.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
• 1970-Odegard described rotation as the change in the orientation that can occur between implant line and lower border of the mandible. • 1977-Lavergne and Gasson described the terms Positional and Morphogenetic rotations. • 1983-Bjork and Skieller gave the termsTotal rotation. Matrix rotation. Intramatrix rotation www.indiandentalacademy.com
• 1985-Dibbets introduced the term Counterbalancing rotation. • 1988-Solow,Houston True rotation. Apparent rotation. Angular remodeling of the lower border. • Proffit- used the terms Internal rotation. Total rotation . External rotation.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
TOTAL ROTATION / TRUE ROTATION / INTERNAL ROTATION • Is the rotation of the mandibular corpus and is measured as a change in inclination of the implant line, in the mandibular corpus relative to the anterior cranial base.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
If the implant line rotates forwards, the total rotation is designated as Negative The Total Forward Rotation is indicated by converging sella – nasion lines
www.indiandentalacademy.com
www.indiandentalacademy.com
MATRIX ROTATION / APPARENT ROTATION / TOTAL ROTATION • Rotation of the soft tissue matrix of the mandible relative to the Anterior cranial base • The soft tissue matrix is defined by the Tangential mandibular line(ML1) • Is designated as Negative,when Tangential mandibular line rotates forwards www.indiandentalacademy.com
The matrix rotates forwards & backwards in same individual during the growth period – PENDULUM MOVEMENT Center of Rotation – Condyles
www.indiandentalacademy.com
www.indiandentalacademy.com
INTRAMATRX ROTATION/ ANGULAR REMODELING/ EXTERNAL ROTATION Defined as the change in inclination of an implant line in the mandibular corpus relative to the tangential mandibular line
Intramatrix Rotation is an expression of remodeling at the lower border of the mandible www.indiandentalacademy.com
www.indiandentalacademy.com
• Forward Rotation of the corpus relative to the tangential mand line is recorded as Negative
• Center of rotation is somewhere in the corpus
• Depends on rotation of corpus of mand & rotation of maxilla & occlusion of teeth

• The diff b/n Total Rotation & Matrix Rotation is intramatrix Rotation • When the direction of the Total Rotation is more forward than Matrix Rotation, pronounced Remodeling takes place at the lower border of the Mandible
www.indiandentalacademy.com
• According to Bjork & Skieller’ “Intramatrix” concept First,the mandible “wiggles” with in the matrix Second,this “wiggling” is associated predominantly with the corpus, but is caused by the growing condyle Third, Rotation results from or compensates for, a genetically determined program www.indiandentalacademy.com

• The Total Rotation = Matrix Rotation + IntraMatrix Rotation
www.indiandentalacademy.com
• The center of Total Rotation depends on other two centers of Rotation • The pattern of vertical facial development is strongly related to the Rotation of both the jaws • For an average individual with normal vertical facial height • Total Rotation = – 15 Matrix Rotation = –4 IntraMatrix Rotation = –11 www.indiandentalacademy.com
“Positional” & “Morphogenetic” Rotation Given by Lavergne & Gasson
Positional Rotation deals with the position of the mandible with in the head
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Morphogenetic Rotation • concerns the shape of the mandible itself • super imposing the two tracings on a line through condylion & pogonion
•The angle b/n two implant lines is determined & this corresponds to the degree of morphogenetic Rotation • similer to Bjork’s Intramatrix Rotation but not identical www.indiandentalacademy.com
Bjork & Skieller consider the key factor of Intramatrix rotation to be found in a rotation of the mandibular corpus inside its matrix Lavergne & GassonFound the effective mechanism in Ramus, its forward or backward growth,therby shortening or elongating the effective length of the mandible
www.indiandentalacademy.com
• Maxillary – Mandibular sagittal discrepancy is minimized by opening or closing the gonial angle
www.indiandentalacademy.com
“It is a compensating mechanism which is capable of enlarging or reducing mandibular length as measured along the condylion-pogonion diagonal�
www.indiandentalacademy.com
J.M.H.Dibbets • Re-examination of the concept of “Intramatrix Rotation" as defined by Bjork & Skieller & also explored by Lavergne & Gasson • Three diff interpretations of Intramatrix concept are
www.indiandentalacademy.com
• First option - Bjork & Skieller define the “Intramatrix Rotation” as The Rotation of the mandibular corpus relative to the lower border is a result of genetically determined condylar growth both in magnitude & in direction
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Bjork approach Superimposing two tracings of the same mandible registered upon natural reference structures shows Rotation
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Divergence of implant lines indicates Intramatrix rotation
Superimposed on implant markers Indicates extensive remodeling
www.indiandentalacademy.com
• The condyle grows on a circular arc with radius from center at chin to the condyle. • When two tracings are superimposed on their contours, they are identical in size & shape. • The external configuration of mandible need not change in order to allow ‘Intramatrix rotation’ • Any Depositional or Resorptive activity maintains original contours www.indiandentalacademy.com
Painting rotated with in frame but external configuration & dimensions do not change www.indiandentalacademy.com
• The bony element can rotate with in its periosteal frame • Every deflection of condylar growth creates the possibility of compensatory remodeling, mostly resorption of the lower border resulting in Intramatrix rotation • Intramatrix Rotation neutralizes the condylar growth. www.indiandentalacademy.com
Second option-Hunterian concept or Morphogenetic rotation Posterior ramal deposition & Ant resorption
The direction of condylar growth follows pattern that enlarges the Mandible maximally
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Third option - Dibbets • Two divergent patterns of mandibular growth • 1)Circular growth pattern of condyle, resulting in Intramatrix Rotation without any enlargement of mandible • 2)linear growth pattern of the condyle, characterized by the absence of intramatrix rotation but evidencing mandibular enlargement. suggested mechanism www.indiandentalacademy.com
Counterbalancing Rotation
Counterbalancing Rotation “Counterbalancing Rotation pertains to circular condylar growth, accompanied by selective coordinated remodeling, which does not contribute to the incremental growth of the mandible� *The actual path of the mand condyle is accompanied by selective remodeling & thus neutralizes the growth * Results in selective enlargement of the mandible, apart & distinct from mechanisms that have been described in the literature www.indiandentalacademy.com
Counterbalancing proportion Defined as the percentage of condylar incremental growth, detected by implants that has contributed to the enlargement of the condylion- pogonion dimension
• The quantification & comparison of condylar growth & mandibular enlargement
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Mandibular growth =pg-Ar2 – Pg-Ar1 Condylar growth – Ar1 – Ar2
Growth of articulare to pogonion
Counterbalancing = Condylar incremental growth proportion www.indiandentalacademy.com
×100
• According to the concept of congruous mandibular growth, the proportion expected is 100%. • But the proportion ranges from 50% to 97%.
• Average counterbalancing proportion for Angle classes Class III – 85% Class I – 76% Class II Div 2 – 59% Class II Div 1– 65.5%
Effective contribution vary among individuals because of varying condylar directions & mand remodeling www.indiandentalacademy.com
Concepts of mandibular Rotations
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Enlow’s concept Two categories of Rotations - Remodeling Rotations - Displacement Rotations
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Remodeling
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Ramus • Ramus undergoes remodeling to carryout following functions • Place the corpus in constant functional relationship with maxillary arch • To bridge the pharyngeal compartment • To accommodate the vertical dimension of nasomaxillary complex • Give attachment to the growing masticatory musculature. www.indiandentalacademy.com
www.indiandentalacademy.com
• Ramus becomes more upright • Lengthens vertically to accommodate nasomaxillary complex • The gonial angle undergo change in order to prevent change in occlusal relationship b/n the max & mand arches • Horizontal breadth of ramus ↑ to span the pharynx
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Vertical lengthening ramus continues after horizontal growth ceases
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Opening and closing of the gonial angle compensates for extreme forward or backward rotation
www.indiandentalacademy.com
• Vertical growth changes of the mandibular dento-alveolar arch, the ramus & middle cranialfossae must match nasomaxillary growth to achieve facial balance • Any diff will lead to Displacement mand Rotations
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Displacement rotations • Changes in the junctional contact with the cranial floor and maxilla. • Cranial base angleOpen-downward and backward rotation of mandible. Closed-forward rotation.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Closed Angle
Open Angle
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Vertically short midface causes forward rotation & upward inclination of mandible
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Long nasomaxillary region causes downward & backward alignment of mandible
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Schudy’s concept • The Rotation of the mandible resulting from an inhormony b/n vertical growth & horizontal growth • Counter clockwise Rotation deficiency of vertical growth compared to horizontal growth & tends to cause closed bite • Clockwise Rotation – excessive vertical growth compared to horizontal growth & tends to cause open bite www.indiandentalacademy.com
www.indiandentalacademy.com
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Vertical elements of growth • Growth at nasion • Growth of maxillary corpus • Growth of max post alveolar processes • Growth of mand post alveolar processes
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Posterior growth analysis The ratio b/n horizontal growth & Vertical growth
A= I+ II + III
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Bjork concept
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Forward Rotation – 3 Types Type – I Center- TMJ Deep bite ↓ Ant facial height
Lower dental arch compressed in to upper Cause-occlusal imbalance due to loss of teeth/powerful www.indiandentalacademy.com musculature
• Type II • Center- incisal edges of lower ant teeth • Marked development of post facial height & normal ↑ ant facial height • ↑ Post facial height Lowering of middle cranial fossae increase in height of ramus
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Vertical direction of the condylar growth lowered the mandible more than it is carried forward Muscular & ligamentus attachments Carries the lowered mandible forward Eruption of molars keeps pace with the rotation Lower border undergoes characteristic remodeling www.indiandentalacademy.com
Type III Center of rotation - premolars
The dental arches compressed in to each other & basal deep bite develops
Cause – Anomalous occlusion of ant teeth www.indiandentalacademy.com
• The inclination of teeth is greatly influenced by rotation of jaws
• Displaces the path of eruption of teeth in mesial direction
• Ant crowding referred as packing www.indiandentalacademy.com
Backward Rotation –two Types Type I Center - TMJ underdevelopment of post facial height leads to Backward Rotation Causes- the middle Cranial fossae is rised -Incomplete development in height of middle cranial www.indiandentalacademy.com fossae as in oxycephaly
Type II • Center – Most distal occluding molars • Cause - Sagittal growth direction of condyle
• The symphysis is swung backwards & chin drawn back
• Double chin
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Basal open bite develops
Lower ant teeth retroclined & alveolar prognathism is reduced
Rotation did not lie in the over eruption of lower teeth This type of rotation is characteristic in condylar hypoplasia & In condylar aplasia www.indiandentalacademy.com
Mandibular growth Rotation is closely associated with both the direction & the amount of growth at the condyles
www.indiandentalacademy.com
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Maxillary Rotations
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Bjork & Skieller Implant studies of Bjork & Skieller have shown that, The downward & forward displacement of maxillae are associated with varying degrees of vertical Rotation Internal Rotation produced with in the core of maxilla tends to be masked by surface changes & alterations in the rate of teeth eruption www.indiandentalacademy.com
• The maxilla is less easy to delude in to core of bone & functional processes
• Alveolar process is functional process but no areas of muscle attachment
www.indiandentalacademy.com
• Lateral implants – 4yrs of age, inserted in the zygomatic process one on each side, antly on the lower margin away from the crest
•Indicates increase in width of median suture at the level of first molars
www.indiandentalacademy.com
• Anterior implants – 10yrs of age, inserted below the anterior nasal spine on each side of median suture at the level of apices of central incisors
www.indiandentalacademy.com
• Maxillary Rotations studied in 2 planes
Transverse plane Vertical plane
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Transverse / Mutual Rotation of two Maxillae Triangle is constructed with the sides of constant length by joining ant & lateral implants
www.indiandentalacademy.com
• Lateral implants separate more than ant implants • Two maxillae rotate in relation to each other in transverse plane • Length of the maxilla is reduced in mid sagittal plane • Length of dental arch becomes reduced www.indiandentalacademy.com
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Vertical Rotation A line from tip of ant implant to Lateral implant is drawn on profile radiograph
Tracings shows change in inclination of implant line to the SN plane at diff ages www.indiandentalacademy.com
The inclination of nasal floor to ant cranial base is maintained by differential remodeling In forward rotation – the resorption at nasal floor is greater antly than postly Facial growth is greater postly
www.indiandentalacademy.com
In backward Rotation Rotates downwards & backwards
Resorption at nasal floor is greater postly
Facial growth is greater antly than postly www.indiandentalacademy.com
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Enlow’s Maxillary Rotations
Displacement
Remodeling
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Displacement Rotations Primary displacement The whole nasomaxillary complex is displaced in conjunction with its own growth
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Secondary Displacement - Results from growth of other bones & their soft tissues
www.indiandentalacademy.com
• Displacement in clockwise/counterclockwise direction would result in canting & misfit of the palate & maxillary arch in to either open / closed bite positions
• Remodeling fields along nasal & oral sides of the palate offset & compensate

Prediction of mandibular growth Rotation Bjork method • Longitudinal method • Metric method • Structural method www.indiandentalacademy.com
Longitudinal method • The course of development in annual x-ray Cephalometric films
• Superimposed on natural reference strs
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Rotation – angle b/n SN lines
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Limitations Pattern of growth is not constant •
permits observation of changes only in sagittal direction
• Changes in vertical direction are masked to larger extent www.indiandentalacademy.com
Metric method • Prediction of facial development on basis of facial morphology ,determined from a single x-ray
• Statistical studies – predicting the intensity & direction of development from shape & size at childhood is not feasible
• The changes in shape of face during adolescence weakly correlated with shape of face at 12yrs www.indiandentalacademy.com
Structural method • Based on information gained from implant studies of mandibular remodeling process • Recognizes specific structural signs develop as a result of remodeling • Various types of rotations can be recognized with implant method www.indiandentalacademy.com
Structural signs • Seven structural signs of extreme growth rotation • Considered in relation to condylar growth direction • Greater the number, more reliable the prediction will be. • Signs are not clearly developed before puberty
www.indiandentalacademy.com
• Inclination of condylar head • Curvature of the mandibular canal • The shape of the lower border of the mandible • Inclination of the symphysis • Interincisal angle • Interpremolar and molar angles www.indiandentalacademy.com • Lower anterior face height

Interaction b/n Rotation & Tooth eruption • Rotational pattern greatly influences the magnitude & direction of eruption
• Superimposition on mand lower borderno change in incisor eruption
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Forward Rotation • Superimposition on implants – forward directed path of eruption • Forward migration of whole dentition • Anterior crowding • Lower post teeth- more upright • Increase in interpremolar & intermolar angles www.indiandentalacademy.com
Average values: Mandibular arch Mean forward migration of mandibular molars 5.2mm. Lower central incisors-3.2mm. Shortening of the dental arch-2.0mm.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Average values: • Maxillary arch -Mesial migration I molars-5mm -central incisors-2.5mm Shortening of arch-1mm+1.5mm
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Backward Rotation • Incisors become retroclined • Alv prognathism is reduced • Eruption of lower molars – hindered • Interpremolar& intermolar angles are small www.indiandentalacademy.com
• Proffit -The lower mandibular teeth erupt in upward and forward direction. -Forward rotation –alters the path of eruptiondirected posteriorly.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Clinical implications Forward Rotation • • • • • • •
Short face type “Square jaw” type Low mandibular plane angle Skeletal anterior deep bite Crowding of anterior teeth Palatal plane is nearly horizontal. smile - lower incisors are visible with the upper incisors hidden behind the www.indiandentalacademy.com upper lip.
Backward Rotation • • • • • •
Long face type “Round jaw” type Steep mandibular plane angle Skeletal anterior open bite Dental protrusion Negative inclination of palatal plane
www.indiandentalacademy.com
• Various combinations of rotations can cause malocclusions
www.indiandentalacademy.com
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Growth Rotation can also affect sagittally • Hypodivergent - can compensate for class II - worsen class III
Hyperdivergent - worsen class II - compensate for class III
www.indiandentalacademy.com
Treatment in preadolescent children Growth modificationVertical, sagittal, transverse Before adolescent growth spurt ends
www.indiandentalacademy.com
• Both forward & Backward rotation greatly influences paths of eruption • Serious risk of extreme migration after extractions • Extractions should be avoided until the beginning of pubertal growth spurt
www.indiandentalacademy.com
• Forward Rotation • Major risk of deep bite developing- prevented stabilizing appliance introduced before puberty
• After treatment, stabilization is necessary until the growth of the jaws is completed www.indiandentalacademy.com
• Mandibular deficiency • Functional appliances • Removable appliances Activator, Bionator, Frankel 1&2 Bimler’s appliance, Twin block appliance • Fixed Herbst appliance, Jasper jumper, Churro jumper,Forsus www.indiandentalacademy.com
