Alveolar bone and related pathologies Flashcards
What forms the cribriform plate?
result of attachment of PDL fibers and passage of vessels and nerves into and out of the PDL
What does bundle bone mean?
refers to the bone in which Sharpey’s fibers are embedded
What is the Alveolar bone proper also called?
cribriform plate or bundle bone
What is woven bone?
immature bone in which the collagen fiber matrix is randomly oriented
when is woven bone formed?
newly formed bone or associated with healing wounds
What are the characteristics of woven bone?
-more cells per unit area than mature bone
-greater volume of non-collagenous protein
-forms more rapidly than mature bone
What is spongiosa? (cancellous)
trabecular bone that lies between the cortical plates and within the marrow spaces
What is the supporting alveolar bone made of?
facial and lingual cortical plates
-lamellar bone
-haversian bone
-interstital bone
What type of bone is this?
lamellar bone
what type of bone is this?
haversian
What is the make up of bone?
67% inorganic material
33% organic material
What is the inorganic material of bone?
Ca hydroxyapatite
What is the organic material of bone?
28% collagen
5%- osteocalcin, sialoprotein, phosphoprotein, osteonectin, BMP
What are all of the cells associated with bone?
-osteoblasts
-osteocytes
-osteoclasts
-bone lining cells
-chondroblasts
-chondrocytes
-mesenchymal cells
What is an osteocyte?
osteoblast that has been entrapped by it’s own osteoid matrix
What are canaliculi?
proccesses through bone that radiate in all directions and allow for diffusion of substances throuhg the bone
What is the function of canaliculi?
-connection to other osteocytes/osteoblasts
-allowing cell-to-cell communication
-may have some mechanoreception properties as well
What is the periosteum?
dense connective tissue bound to bone by sharpeys fibers that contain blood vessels, nerves, and three cell layers
What are the three cell layers of the periosteum?
-peripheral cell layer of fibroblasts
-intermediate cell layer of undifferentiated mesenchymal cells
-proximal cell layer of osteoblasts
What is the endosteum?
lines the medullary cavity and cancellous bone
-generally has the same composition as periosteum but is significantly thinner
What is this pointing to?
endosteum
What is this?
periosteum
Where is type 1 collagen in bone ?
ubiquitous in distribution
Where is type 2 collagen in bone?
primarily a cartilage protein
Where is type 3 cartilage in bone?
granulation and mesenchymal tissues
where is type 5 cartilage in bone?
stromal connective tissue and promotes cellular attachment and migration
Where is type 10 collagen in bone?
in the growth plate, facilitates the conversion of cartilage to bone
What are some non-collagenous proteins associated with bone matrix?
-osteonectin
-osteopontin
-osteocalcin
-sialoprotein
-phosphoprotein
-glycoprotein
-bone specific protein
-BMP
-carboxyglutamic acid containing protein
What are characteristics of non-collagenous proteins in the bone?
-highly acidic nature
-high aggregation tendencies
-calcium binding properties
What is in-situ remodeling?
a process of osteoclast resorption, and bone replacement by osteoblast activity
-mostly seen in areas of alveolar bone affected by orthodontics
What is intramembranous bone formation?
bone formation within or between connective tissue membranes consisting of type I collagen
-bone does NOT replace cartilage as it done in endochondral bone
What is endochondral bone formation?
bone formation within hyaline cartilage that involves a concomitant replacement of the cartilage framework by bone
Steps in in-situ remodeling?
-osteoclast; resorption
-osteoblast precursor; reversal
-mature osteoblast; formation
-new bone; resting (osteocytes)
Where is intramembranous bone formed?
in the inner spongy layers of bones as well as sutures
IS intramembranous bone formation quick?
yes, it is done rapidly and disorganized
What is an example of bone type that is formed by intramembranous ossification?
woven bone
What do osteoblasts do in intramembranous ossification?
osteoblasts secrete matrix vesicles that mineralize surrounding collagen fibers. the osteoblasts usually become trapped themselves and become osteocytes
What are the contents of the matrix vesicle of bone
-alkaline phosphatase
-pyrophosphatase
-glycoproteins
-phosphoproteins
-phospholipids
Where is endochondral ossification seen?
vertebrae, long bones, base of skull, and head of mandible
What are the steps of endochondral ossification?
-mesenchymal cells make general outline of final bone shape
-cells differentiate into cartilage cells (chondroblasts) which increase in size, secrete collagen and mineralize it with matrix vesicles
-chondrocytes die
-vascular tissue form periochondrium invade the cartilage allowing chondroclasts and mesenchymal cells to enter the area
-chondroclasts eat away the cartilage
-newly differentiated osteoblasts deposit osteoid into cartilage
-osteoid is mineralized by osteocytes and bone is made
