Notes:
Juvenile mice were treated for up to eight weeks with weekly doses of a synthetic analogue of cortisol:triamcinolone hexacetonide. The mandibular condylar cartilage was studied histologically and histochemically at regular intervals. Morphometric measurements were performed along the mandibular posterior vertical dimension (condylar process and ramus). By the second injection significant morphological changes were noted in the condylar cartilage, followed by retardation of bone growth. The most distinctive feature in the cartilage of triamcinolone-treated mice was a marked increase in the dimension of its mineralized zone concomitant with a significant increase in the number of hypertrophic chondrocytes. The role of condylar cartilage in mandibular growth is discussed.
