Alveolar bone and pathologies Flashcards
cribriform plate
The cribriform plate is formed as a result of attachment of the PDL fibers and passage of vessels and nerves into and out of the PDL.
bone lining the alveolar socket
bundle bone
The term bundle bone refers to that bone in
which Sharpey’s fibers (PDL) are embedded.

Woven Bone
• Immature bone in which the collagen fiber matrix is randomly oriented. This type of bone is generally newly formed (embryologic development) or associated with healing wounds.
§ More cells per unit area than mature bone
§ Greater volume of non-collagenous protein
§ Forms more rapidly than mature bone
Spongiosa (a.k.a. Cancellous)
• Trabecular bone that lies between the cortical plates and
within the marrow spaces
lining cells of trabeculae
osteoblasts
Structural Organization of the Alveolar Process
Supporting Alveolar Bone
• Facial and lingual cortical plates
Made of:
§ Lamellar bone
§ Haversian bone
§ Interstitial bone
spongy bone between the plates

Cells Associated With Bone/cartilage
Ø Osteoblasts Ø Osteocytes Ø Osteoclasts Ø Bone Lining Cells Ø Chondroblasts Ø Chondrocytes Ø Mesenchymal Cells
Osteocyte
Osteocyte is an osteoblast that has been entrapped by it’s own osteoid matrix
Canaliculi
radiate in all directions, and allow diffusion of substances
throughout bone. Processes of the osteocytes travel within the canaliculi,
and connect to other osteocytes/osteoblasts, allowing cell-to-cell
communication. May have some mechanoreception properties, as well
Periosteum
contents? layers?
A dense connective tissue, bound to bone by Sharpey’s fibers, that contains blood vessels, nerves,
three cell layers: § Peripheral cell layer of fibroblasts § Intermediate cell layer of undifferentiated mesenchymal cells § Proximal cell layer of osteoblasts
Endosteum
Lines the meduallary cavity and cancellous bone (trabeculae).
Generally has the same composition as periosteum but is
significantly thinner
collagens associated with bone
types 1,2,3,5,10
type 1 collagen in bone
Fibrillar: ubiquitous in distribution
type 2 collagen in bone
Fibrillar: primarily a cartilage protein
type 3 collagen in bone
Fibrillar: granulation and mesenchymal tissues
