    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Human Physiology
    • Genetics

    Context:

    • Human growth is a multifaceted process influenced by numerous factors.
    • Two distinct periods of accelerated growth occur: infancy and late puberty.
    • Growth significantly impacts orthodontic treatment planning and results.

    Purpose:

    • To conduct a comprehensive review of factors influencing human growth.
    • To classify these factors into endocrine glands, heredity, and environment.
    • To evaluate the combined effects of genetic and environmental influences on growth.

    Summary:

    • Growth is regulated by hormones (growth hormone, thyroid hormone, androgens, glucocorticoids, insulin) and influenced by genetic and environmental factors.
    • The adolescent growth spurt results from the interplay of gonadal, adrenal, and growth hormones.
    • This review categorizes growth determinants into endocrine, genetic, and environmental influences, examining their synergistic effects.

    Impact:

    • Provides a foundational understanding of human growth for clinicians and researchers.
    • Highlights the critical role of hormonal, genetic, and environmental factors in development.
    • Informs orthodontic treatment strategies by considering growth dynamics.
