bone and joints Flashcards
Name the different types of bone
- Woven
- Cortical
- Cancellous
What is cortical bone also known as
Compact or lamellae
What does cortical bone make up
Forms the shaft of long bones
Outlier or covering of flat bones
What is cortical bone made up of
Rings of typ 1 collagen
What is cancellous bone also known as
Trabecular
What is cancellous bone also known as
Trabecular
Where is cancellous bone found
Found inside flat bones and at the end of long bones
What is cancellous bone made up of
Network of non collagen proteins
Where does woven bone form
In early years of non development and at fracture sites
What is woven bone made up of
It is disorganised nd made up of bone mineral
Name the cells involved with bone
- Osteoblasts
- Osteoclasts
- Osteocytes
What are osteoblasts derived from
Local mesenchymal stem cells
What do osteocytes do
Regulate mineralisation and bone resorption
Synthesis collagen matrix
What do osteoblast do
Activate bone formation
What do osteoclasts do
Resorb bone
List teh stages of bone healing following fracture
1, Cellular stage
2. Vascular stage
3. Primary callus
4. Bony callus
5. Mature callus
Give examples of genetic bone diseases
- Osteogenesis imperfecta
- Cleidocranial dysplasia
- Osteopetrosis
What is Osteogenesis imperfecta due to
It is an autosomal dominant condition that leads to collagen defects
List some characteristic presentation of Osteogenesis imperfecta
- Blue sclera
- Deafness
- Bruising easily
- Loose joints/ tendons
- +/- Cardiac complications
- Fracture easily
What is Osteogenesis imperfecta also known as
Brittle bone disesse
What is Osteogenesis imperfecta also known as
Brittle bone disesse
As a dentist what consideration should you make if a patient has Osteogenesis imperfecta
- Take care with extractions due to fracture risk
- GA risk - chest deformity and cardiac issues
- Teeth may be brown/purple or worn
- Soft dentine
What is cleidocranial dysplasia due to
Autosomal dominant condition that is rare and mainly involves the skull and clavicle
List some clinical signs of cleidocranial dysplasia
- Clavicles absent or defective
- Brachycepalic (broad short skull)
- Hypoplastic midface= mandibular protrusion
- +/- Clefts
- Other skeletal defects
List some dental features of cleidocranial dysplasia
- Hyperdontia
- Supernumeraries
- Retained deciduous dentition
- Abnormalities with dentition
What is osteopetrosis also known as
Albers schonberg disease
What is osteopetrosis due to
A rare disorder leading to a defect in osteoclastic activity and bone remodelling leading to excessive bone density
What are some clinical signs of osteopetrosis
- Often no symptoms
- Incidental finding on a radiograph following pt complaining of ‘bone pain’
- Patient may be anaemic or susceptible to infections
List some dental signs of osteopetrosis
- Fractures of the jaw/ osteomyelitis
- Difficulty in irradiating infection
Give examples of acquired bone Disorders
- Rickets/ osteomalacia
- Osteoporosis
- Fibrous dysplasia
- Pagets disease
- primary Hyperparathyroidism
- secondary Hyperparathyroidism
What is rickets
A childhood disease leading o inadequate skeletal mineralisation due to lack of vitamin D or calcium
What is teh treatment fro rickets
Vitamin supplements and dietary advice
