The growth of the rat mandible was studied during a period from 14 to 30 days of age. Roentgencephalometric and alizarin vital staining techniques were employed. Growth in length doubles the growth in breadth; the angle between the mandibular halves decreases slightly. Bone remodeling patterns were revealed with the alizarin technique. Posteriorly facing surfaces and the anterior end of the incisal process show apposition. Lateral facing surfaces of the posterior part of the mandibles were resorptive. A medio-posterior growth direction of these parts were found. The intermandibular articulation plays no role in the translative growth movements, in contrast to other articulations between skull bones as sutures and synchondroses, but serves primarily during biting and chewing.
对14至30日龄大鼠的下颌骨生长进行了研究。采用了X线头颅测量和茜素活体染色技术。长度的增长是宽度增长的两倍；下颌两半之间的角度略有减小。通过茜素技术揭示了骨重塑模式。朝后的表面和切牙突的前端显示有骨沉积。下颌后部朝侧面的表面有骨吸收。发现这些部位有中后向的生长方向。与颅骨之间的其他关节如缝线和软骨联合不同，下颌间关节在平移生长运动中不起作用，但其主要在咬合和咀嚼时发挥作用。
