Abstract

Based on a series of human embryos classified in stages, the authors studied the evolution of Meckel's cartilage in its ventral portion and its relations to the morphogenesis of the mandible. Three stages appeared particularly important: stage 16, appearance of Meckel's cartilage; stage 20, beginning of membranous ossification; and stage 23, end of the embryonic period (8th week). The primitive bony nodule which develops from the embryonic mesenchyme appears as a double bony layer forming a groove containing the neurovascular bundle, into which the dental lamina is also invaginated.
