Factors Involved in Mandibular Condylar Growth: An Overview
نویسندگان
چکیده
Although functional appliances have been widely adopted for clinical modulation of mandibular growth for nearly a century, the underlying regulatory mechanism of mandibular condyle growth have been under investigation. Over these years, studies have been focused on both the natural growth of mandibular condyle and its growth modulation by functional appliances at cellular and molecular levels. It has been identified that several factors including Sox9, type II collagen, PTHrP, Ihh, FGFR, type X collagen, VEGF, Cbfa1/Runx2 and OPG/RANKL play a pivotal role in growth and development of mandibular condyle. This review provides an overview of the impacts of these key factors on mandibular condylar growth.

Mandibular shape is an important determinant in facial morphology, consequently, it should be paid special attention while investigating facial morphology changes. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between condylar radiographic shape and facial growth pattern in patients with CI II skeletal malocclusion. The present retrospective study is of cross-sectional type, performed...
متن کاملEffect of Nonviral Plasmid Delivered Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor and Low Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound on Mandibular Condylar Growth: A Preliminary Study
OBJECTIVE Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) is an important regulator of tissue growth. Previous studies have shown that low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) stimulates bone growth. The objective of this study was to evaluate the possible synergetic effect of LIPUS and local injection of nonviral bFGF plasmid DNA (pDNA) on mandibular growth in rats. DESIGN Groups were control, blank pD...
متن کاملEffects of local administration of insulin-like growth factor-I on mandibular condylar growth in rats.
Endochondral bone formation observed at the mandibular condyle is regulated by various growth factors including insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I). In this paper, we describe a method for the local administration of IGF-I to the bilateral mandibular articular cavities of 3- and 12-week-old rats, and the effects of IGF-I on endochondral bone formation by histomorphometric techniques. In 3-week...
متن کاملAn in situ hybridization study of the insulin-like growth factor system in developing condylar cartilage of the fetal mouse mandible
The objective of this study was to investigate the involvement of the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system in the developing mandibular condylar cartilage and temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Fetal mice at embryonic day (E) 13.0-18.5 were used for in situ hybridization studies using [35S]-labeled RNA probes for IGF-I, IGF-II, IGF-I receptor (-IR), and IGF binding proteins (-BPs). At E13.0, IGF...
