Morphogenesis of Mandibular Dental Arch Shape in Human Embryos

ALPHONSE R. BURDI 1

1 Department of Anatomy, The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan

Changes in shape of the mandibular dental arch were demonstrated in a developmentally representative sample of human embryos. Each reconstructed arch was described in terms of a conformance to a reference geometric curve; ie, catenary. Cross-sectional sample trends showed that the initial dental lamina is anteroposteriorly flattened during the sixth week and begins a progressive elongation and conformance to the catenary curve in 8frac12-week embryos.
