GROWTH:
Volume ratio between skull and face during
growth; Growth of the bone tissue The phenomena linked to growth according
to the theory of D.H. Enlow on the
development and growth of the craniofacial
district (the principle of parts and
counterparts):
Cortical migration;
Remodeling;
Primary repositioning;
Secondary repositioning;
Growth processes:
Cranial cap;
Cranial base;
Face: jaw and mandible;
Condylar growth;

mechanism of growth in the cranio-facial
district:

Broadbent study;
Bjork study;
Genetic thought (Sicher); Functional
thinking (Moss);
