“…This lower edge is formed of the pterygoid ridge or the antilingula, and of the lower edge of the mylohyoid groove. The groove is thus a clear boundary between two different anatomo-functional structures from the subdivision established by Moss [32]: the basal unit and the angular unit.…”

-Introduction:The area perilingularis is an anatomo-functional complex that gathers the mandibular foramen, the lingula, the antilingula and the mylohyoid groove. The development of these structures and their ontogenetic coordination have been poorly studied. Material and methods: Development scorings have been made and studied for each of these structures and their links. Results and discussion: These scorings have shown an ontogenetic evolution towards accentuation and migration of the reliefs. Moreover, the development of the structures was statistically linked. The determinism of the area perilingularis, inherited or under the influence of the environment, is discussed. The anthropological perspectives are numerous, and old anthropological conceptions concerning the area perilingularis are questioned.Résumé -Introduction : L'area perilingularis est un complexe anatomo-fonctionnel regroupant le foramen mandibulaire, la lingula, l'antilingula et le sillon mylo-hyoïdien. Le développement de ces structures et leur coordination ontogénétique sont encore peu connues. Material and methods : Des scores de développement ont été établis pour chaque structure puis leur comportement et corrélation ont été étudiés. Results and discussion : Ces scores ont montré une évolution ontogénétique sous la forme d'une accentuation et d'une migration des reliefs. De plus, le développement des structures était statistiquement lié. Le déterminisme de l'area perilingularis, hérité ou sous la dépendance de l'environnement, est discuté. Les perspectives anthropologiques sont nombreuses, et de vieilles conceptions concernant l'area perilingularis sont remises en question.

“…1959: Maxwell andWagner, 1951J. Briefly, it is experimentally and clinically demonstrable that periosteal functional matrices are morphogcnetically and temporally primary: and that the presence, form (size and shape), and transformative growth [Moss andSalentijn. 1969, 1970] of any skeletal unit is secondary, compensatory, and me chanically obligatory to temporally prior changes in the related periosteal functional matrices [Moss and Hankow.…”

169Mandibular growth that is infl uenced by co-activation of jaw muscles influences craniofacial morphology, 1,2) and is closely related to the amount and direction of condylar growth.3) The primary factor determining the magnitude and direction of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) load is the interaction of muscle forces.4) The magnitude and distribution of functional stress within the TMJ is important for the development of the TMJ. 5)However, excessive loads, 5, 6) loads with a long duration 5,7) and loads at high frequency 5,8) Abstract:The interactions between orofacial muscles and skeletal patterns are widely recognized as significant factors in craniofacial growth. Many studies have suggested that the vertical facial growth pattern correlates with occlusal forces and the activity of masticatory muscles. In particular, it has been suggested that occlusal forces produced by masticatory muscles are converted into physiological stress at the condyle in the form of functional strain. In such circumstances, the dimensions and morphology of the condyle ought to be affected. The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that low-angle subjects with larger occlusal forces tend to have mandibular condyles with a larger surface area than high-angle subjects. Cone-beam computed tomographic scans were obtained from 14 Japanese adult subjects (17 to 33 years old, 7 high angle and 7 low angle) at 60 kV and 10 mA. Occlusal force was measured by pressure-indicating fi lms, and the surface area of the condyle was calculated from axial CT data. The correlation between occlusal conditions and the surface area of condyles was compared between the two facial groups. We found that the low-angle group had a signifi cantly larger surface area and volume of condyles than the high-angle group and that there was a positive correlation between occlusal forces and condylar surface area. Our fi ndings demonstrate that occlusal force is one of the important factors that affect the mechanical environment of the condyle.
