Bone Disorders - part I Flashcards
inherited bone disorders
- osteogenesis imperfecta
- osteopetrosis
- cleidocranial dysplasia
- cherubism
acquired bone disorders
- osteitis deformans (Paget disease)
- fibro-osseous lesions of the jaw: fibrous dysplasia
- fibro-osseous lesions of the jaw: cemento-osseous dysplasia (COD)
- osteoporotic bone marrow defect
- idiopathic osteosclerosis
- simple bone cyst
osteogenesis imperfecta
“brittle bone disease”
several rare disorders of bone
what does defective collagen in osteogenesis imperfecta cause?
defective collagen –> abnormal bone mineralization –> low bone density (osteopenia)
etioloigy of osteogenesis imperfecta
mutation in collagen gene
T/F: osteogenesis imperfecta can be autosomal dominant or recessive
true
T/F: a majority of osteogenesis imperfecta cases are autosomal recessive
false, 90% are autosomal dominant
T/F: some of the osteogenesis imperfecta are sporadic
true
T/F: osteogenesis imperfecta is one of the most common heritable bone diseases
true
why does the severity of osteogenesis imperfecta widely varies?
it depends on mutation
clinical features of osteogenesis imperfecta
- bones fragile, fracture easily; varies widely with the type of mutation
- blue sclerae
- hearing loss
- Bowing deformity long bones
- craniofacial alterations (CL III occlusion, triangular facies)
dental alterations of OI that are identical to dentinogenesis imperfecta
- blue, yellow or brown translucence (more noticeable in primary teeth)
- opalescent teeth
- severe attrition leading to loss of VDO and potential tooth loss
T/F: OI and dentinogenesis imperfecta can have similar tooth alterations and blue sclerae, but they are distinct mutations, different diseases
true
dental defects associated with OI should be designated as what?
“opalescent teeth”
T/F: “dentinogenesis imperfecta” is reserved for alterations isolated to the teeth
true
T/F: OI can appear identical to dentinogenesis imperfecta radiographically
true
radiographic features of osteogenesis imperfecta
- “shell teeth”, or premature pulpal obliteration
2. narrow or “corn cob” shaped roots
treatment for osteogenesis imperfecta
- physiotherapy/rehabilitation
- orthopedic surgery
- minimize factors leading to fracture
- IV bisphosphonates for children with moderate-severe pain
why are IV visphosphonates indicated for children with moderate-severe pain?
reduce fracture rates
treatment for dentition of osteogenesis imperfecta
- crown/bridge
- partial or complete dentures
- ± implants
- orthognathic surgery
- orthodontics
prognosis of osteogenesis imperfecta depends on what?
- mutation
2. expression of the gene
what is the range of prognosis for osteogenesis imperfecta?
ranges from minimal bone deformity with essentially normal growth to severe forms leading to death from passage through the birth canal
T/F: osteopetrosis have several forms, both autosomal dominant and recessive
true
T/F: autosomal dominant form of osteopetrosis is more severe
false, recessive more severe
what happens when osteoclasts fail to fxn normally?
bone is not resorbed
what will happen if bone continued to form and ossify in osteopetrosis?
increased bone density
pancytopenia
loss of hematopoietic precursor cells
what happens when pancytopenia occurs in osteopetrosis?
increased susceptibility to infections and osteomyelitis
T/F: osteopetrosis is rare
true
clinical features of osteopetrosis
- blindness and deafness due to CN compression
- fractures
- osteomyelitis
what is the cause of frequent complication of tooth extraction in osteopetrosis pts?
osteomyelitis
radiographic findings of osteopetrosis
- diffuse density of skeleton
- marrow spaces filled in by dense bone
- tooth roots difficult to visualize due to surrounding dense bone
- failure of tooth eruption
tx of osteopetrosis
- supportive measures
- bone marrow transplant
- alternative therapies
supportive measures for osteopetrosis
transfusions and abx when necessary
alternative therapies for osteopetrosis
- interferon with calcitriol
- restriction of Ca2+ intake
- steroids
T/F: autosomal dominant form of osteopetrosis can have long-term survival
true
what is the prognosis for autosomal recessive form of osteopetrosis?
poor
T/F: patients with the autosomal recessive form of osteopetrosis usually die before 20 y.o.
true
T/F: cleidocranial dysplasia is autosomal recessive
false, autosomal dominant
T/F: spontaneous mutations have also been reported for cleidocranial dysplasia
true
T/F: investigators have proposed an autosomal recessive form of cleoidcranial dysplasia
true
T/F: cleidocranial dysplasia is common
false, uncommon
where does the cleidocranial dysplasia primarily affect?
- skull
- jaws
- clavicles
