The document discusses the growth and development of the tongue and salivary glands. It states that the tongue develops from the first four branchial arches and contains intrinsic and extrinsic muscles. The major salivary glands originate from epithelial buds that invade the underlying mesenchyme and develop through stages of bud formation, cord formation, branching, and canalization. The document also briefly discusses anomalies of the tongue and salivary glands, as well as prosthodontic considerations regarding the tongue.

4. Introduction
Tongue is a muscular organ in the floor of the
mouth associated with a function of taste,
speech, mastication and deglutition.
The tongue also influence the path of eruption of
teeth.
The salivary glands are important organs of oral
cavity which produces saliva, essential fluid
required for normal mastication, swallowing and
digestion.
Hence it is essential to study the growth and
development of tongue and salivary gland.

5. Definition of growth:
Krogman : Increase in size, change in proportion
and progressive complexity.
Todd: An increase in size.
Moyers: Quantitative aspect of biological
development per unit time.
Definitions of development:
Todd: Development is progress towards maturity.
Moyers: Development refers to all the naturally
occurring unidirectional changes in the life of an
individual from its existence as a single cell to its
eloboration as a multifactorial unit terminating in
death. Thus, it encompasses the normal sequential
events between fertilization and death.

During the early 4th week of I.U.L. the lateral part
of mesoderm of ventral foregut region becomes
segmented to form a series of 5 distinct bilateral
mesenchymal swellings called as pharyngeal
arches.
Pharyngeal clefts: Arches are seperated by
deep grooves called pharyngeal clefts.
Pharyngeal pouch: are outpocketings appearing
along the most cranial part of foregut.

9. DEVELOPMENT OF TONGUE
Tongue arises from the ventromedial wall of the
primitive oropharynx from the inner lining of the
first four branchial arches.
Development of tongue can be studied under
the following headings
Anterior 2/3rd (or the body of tongue)
Posterior 1/3rd(base of the tongue)
Musculature and connective tissue
Papillae and taste buds.
The nerve supply
www.indiandentalacademy.com
12. Anterior 2/3 of the tongue
rd
During the 4th week of IUL, paired lateral swellings
appear on the internal aspect of the 1st brachial arches
Tuberculum impar is a median
eminence whose caudal end has a pit called the
foremen caecum
These lateral swellings rapidly enlarge, merge with each
other and overgrow the tuberculum impar to form the
body of the tongue
A U shaped sulcus, the linguogingival groove develops in
front of the oral part, which allows it to be free and highly
mobile except at the region of the lingual frenum where

13. Posterior 1/3 of the tongue
rd
The base of the tongue is initially indicated by two
midline elevations that develop caudal to the foremen
caecum
The copula
The hypobrachial eminence
As the tongue develops, the hypobranchial
eminence,overgrows the second branchial arch to
become continous with the body of the tongue. The
site of union b/w the the body and base of the tongue is
delineated by a V shaped groove, called the sulcus
terminalis.

14. Musculature and connective tissue
Branchial arch mesenchyme forms the
connective tissue and the lymphatic and
the blood vessels of the tongue
www.indiandentalacademy.com
15. Tongue musculature`
During the 5th to 7th
week of the IUL, 3-4
occipital myotomes,
migrate anteriorly to
form the musculature
of the tongue.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
16. Papillae of the tongue
Papillae are projections of mucous membrane
on the dorsum of the tongue
Circumvalate papillae
Fungiform papillae
Filliform papillae
Foliate papillae
www.indiandentalacademy.com
17. Taste buds
Taste buds are located on the dorsum of
the tongue and are associated with the
papillae
Taste buds appear around 8th week of IUL
Taste buds arise by inductive interaction
b/w the epithelial cells and the invading
gustatory nerve cells
www.indiandentalacademy.com
18. Nerve supply of the tongue
Development of tongue from the branchial arch explains
its nerve supply
Sensory supply
Ant 2/3rd-Lingual nerve for general sensation.chorda
tympani for the special sensation
Post 1/3r Glossopharyngeal nerve
Posterior most part -vagus nerve
Motor supply
All the intrinsic and extrinsic muscles except the
palatoglossus are supplied by the hypoglossal nerve.
Palatoglossus –pharyngeal plexus
www.indiandentalacademy.com
20. Arterial supply:
It is chiefly derived from the lingual artery a branch of
external carotid artery. The root of the tongue is also
supplied by tonsillar and ascending pharyngeal artery.
Venous drainage:
The deep lingual vein is the principal vein of the tongue.
Lymphatic drainage:
The tip of the tongue drains into submental nodes. The
remaining part of the anterior 2/3rd drains into the
submandibular nodes. The posterior 1/3rd of the tongue
drains into jugulo-omohyoid nodes

22. Structure of the tongue
The bulk of the
tongue is made of
muscles
Intrinsic muscles
Extrinsic muscles
www.indiandentalacademy.com
23.
The oral part of the
dorsum of the tongue has
numerous papillae
associated with the taste
buds.
The pharyngeal part of
the dorsum of the tongue
is rich in lymphoid
follicles that is collectively
called the lingual tonsil.
Mucous glands are also
present.

The inferior surface of the
tongue shows the
frenulum linguae,deep
lingual veins and the plica
fimbriata

25.
The entire tongue is in the mouth at birth .Its
post 1/3rd desends into the pharynx by the age of
4yrs. The tongue normally doubles in
length,breadth and thickness from birth to
adolesence reaching maximal size at about
8yrs.

32. DEVELOPMENT OF SALIVARY GLAND
All salivary glands show a similar pattern of development
They originate from oral epithelial buds invading the
underlying mesenchyme.
The origin of epithelial bud is belived to be ectodermal in
parotid and minor saliavary gland and endodermal in
submandibular and sublingual glands.
The connective tissue stroma and blood vessels form
from the mesenchyme

48. Prosthodontic considerations
Tongue plays an important role in the stability of lower
denture.
Macroglossia – Stability of the denture is
reduced,hence
Surgical
trimming is indicated
Microglossia –
Inadequate lingual seal.
Bifid tongue
- Surgical reconstruction is required.
Ankyloglossia – Poor registration of the lingual
seal.
Frenectomy is indicated.
Aplasia Denture produces
soreness and irritation
Lack
www.indiandentalacademy.com
of retention of the denture
49.
Tongue position is important to the prognosis of
mandibular denture:
Wright classification of tongue position:
Class I : The tongue lies in the floor of the mouth with
the tip forward and slightly below the incisal edges of the
mandibular anterior teeth. Class I position is ideal for
construction of mandibular denture.
Class II: The tongue is flattened and broadened but the
tip is in a normal position.
Class III: The tongue is retracted and depressed into the
floor of the mouth with the tip curled upward, downward
or assimilated into the body of the tongue.
