This book brings together in one volume selected important topics in craniofacial growth. Topics include: principles of skeletal growth; osteogenesis and its control; formation of the cranial base and craniofacial joints; prenatal development of the facial skeleton; growth of the mandible, nasomaxillary complex, orbit, cranial base, ear capsule, and cranial vault; bone remodeling; muscles; soft tissues; and blood vessels. Fundamentals of Craniofacial Growth contains detailed illustrations and extensive reference lists. Independently authored chapters provide comprehensive reviews encompassing both contemporary and historical perspectives. In addition to medicine and dentistry, contributors provide expertise from such diverse backgrounds as anatomy, biology, biomathematics, embryology, orthodontics, physical anthropology, and plastic and reconstructive surgery.
This book is unique. It deals primarily with and brings together a
wide-ranging group of essays spanning more than half a century's
worth of research done by Bernard G Sarnat. Much of this historical
review remains significant and germane today. Some material
antedates the emergence of the specialties of craniofacial biology,
craniofacial surgery, and bone biology, while many of the reports
preceded the period of molecular biology. This book thus represents
a fundamental pioneering contribution to a representative portion
of the specialties. Building on past data reported by Sarnat, James
P Bradley contributes significantly to the present by including
recent works which cover issues dealing with stem cell, tissue
regeneration and tissue engineering research. In addition,
appropriately selected clinical work is included a result of the
further development and maturity of the specialties. And what does
the future hold? No doubt unpredictable gigantic advances. The
purpose of this selective, organized, and limited review, analysis,
and summary of personally conducted experiments is to relate
certain aspects of differential growth and change and nonchange to
age, sites, rates, factors, and mechanisms. In many instances,
correlations are made between research findings and clinical
practice, and this retrospective study brings all of them together.
