Teorías del crecimiento craneofacial: una revisión de literatura

The study of craniofacial growth is a complex and essential process for the diagnosis and treatment of malocclusions. The formation of craniofacial structures has been explained over time through theories that different researchers have proposed in their interest to argue their postulates; thus we find theories such as Scott’s cartilaginous dominance; Sutural Sicher; Functional of Moss; Petrovic Servosystem; All regulated in one way or another by genetic theory. To talk about growth and development it is important to understand that these two terms are not synonymous, but they are very related. Growth is known as the process of increasing the mass of a living being, which is produced by the increase in the number of cells (hyperplasia) or cell mass (hypertrophy). Development is the process by which organisms achieve greater functional capacity of their systems through the phenomena of maturation, differentiation and integration of functions. This review describes the most important theories of craniofacial growth, and the factors that regulate them.
