Bone Lesion - Infective/Neoplastic Flashcards
Gross structure of bone?
Outer layer = cortex
Inner layer = cancellous bone
What is immature and mature bone?
Immature = woven Mature = lamellar
How does woven bone appear histology?
Irregular/spikey
Surrounded by fibrous tissue
Cellular
What can cause bone remodelling?
Mechanical stimulus - orthi
Systemic hormones - PTH,
What are cells which form and resorb bone?
Osteoblast - form bone
Osteoclast - resorb bone
What is example developmental exostosis?
Torus
Palatinus or mandibularis
What is osteogenesis imperfect?
Type I collagen defect
What is osteoporosis?
Lack of osteoclast activity = failure of resoprtion
Examples of infection of bone?
Dry socket - localise osteitis
Sclerosing osteitis
Osteomyelitis
Osteoncrosis
What is dry socket?
Localised alveolar osteitis - caused by loss of clot/failure clot to develop
What site most common see dry socket?
Molars - esp 3rd
Why may dry socket occur?
Loss/failure clot
Due: excessive rinsing, fibrolysis of clot, poor blood supply, excessive use vasoconstrictors
Pathological process dry socket?
Localised inflammatory reaction bone adjacent socket - becomes necrotic and removed by osteoclasts
Poor healing
What is sclerosing osteitis?
Focal bone reaction to low grade inflammation (e.g chronic pulpits)
How does scleorising osteitis present radiographically?
Uniform opacity of apex of tooth - often Lucent peripheral
Differential sclerosing osteitis?
Hypercementosis
Osteoma
Cementoblastoma
