Bone Pathology I Flashcards
What are the categories of Osteodystrophy
- Genetic Diseases
- Metabolic Diseases
- Others or unknown causes
What Osteodystrophic diseases are considered genetic diseases
Osteogenesis imperfecta Osteoporosis Cleidocranial Dysplasia Cherubism Hypophosphatasia Vitamin D-resistant rickets
What Osteodystrophic diseases are considered metabolic diseases
Rickets
Steomalacia
Hyperparathyroidism
Renal osteodystrophy
What Osteodystrophic diseases are classified as either others or unknown causes
Paget's disease of bone Fibrous dysplasia Aneurysmal bone cyst Idiopathic osteosclerosis Focal osteoporotic bone marrow defect Bisphosphonate-associated osteonecrosis of jaw
Most common inherited bone disease
Osteogenesis imperfecta
Pathology of Osteogenesis imperfecta
Mutations in collagen type I
Symptoms and presentation of Osteogenesis imperfecta
Bone fragility and deformity Joint hyper extensibility Hearing loss Blue sclera \+-opalescent teeth (dentinogenesis imperfecta)
- Abnormal collagen result in bones with a thin cortex and osteoporosis which are soft and prone to fracture.
- Bones characterized by bowing, angulation and deformity
Describe the different forms and inheritability of Osteogenesis imperfecta
Type I-IV
Autosomal dominant or recessive
- Severity varies
Rare form with florid cemento-osseus dysplasia
Management of Osteogenesis imperfecta
Physiotherapy
Orthopedic therapy
Bisphosphonates, IV or oral, for more severe patients but long term outcome in pediatric patients unknown
What is Osteopetrosis (Marble bone disease)
Defect in osteoclast function
Describe the genetic inheritance of infantile osteopetrosis
Autosomal recessive
Characteristics of infantile osteopetrosis
Severe
Sclerotic skeleton
Marrow failure (anemia, hepatosplenomegaly, osteomyelitis)
Facial deformity
Neurological deficit (paralysis, blindness, deafness)
Describe the genetic inheritance of Adult osteopetrosis
Autosomal dominant
- Mild, 40% asymptomatic
Dental considerations for Osteopetrosis
Jaws affected
Although bones denser, they are more fragile
Fractures
Fracture and osteomyelitis after both extraction
Management of Infantile osteopetrosis
Prognosis poor
Management of Adult osteopetrosis
Variable prognosis, some long term survival
- Bone marrow transplantation
- Other experimental protocols
What is Cleidocranial Dysplasia
Defect of differentiation of osteoblasts and a subset of chondrocytes caused by mutations
Describe the genetic inheritance of Cleidocranial dysplasia
Autosomal dominant or somatic mutation
Clinical characteristics or features of Cleidocranial Dysplasia
Short stature Frontal bossing Patent fontanels Late closure of cranial sutures Absence or hypoplasia of the clavicles
Dental characteristics of Cleidocranial Dysplasia
Retention of deciduous teeth
Delayed eruption of permanent teeth
Supernumerary teeth
+- narrow high arched plate
Prognosis and management of Cleidocranial Dysplasia
- Prognosis good and no treatment for the developmental bone disorder
- Dental treatment planning based on clinical findings
What is the genetic inheritability of Cherubism
Autosomal dominant or spontaneous mutation
Clinical characteristics of Cherubism
Bilateral post. mandibular painless swelling
Maxillary swelling push the orbital base upward
Upturned eyes
Rounded eyes
When is cherubism most common?
Average 7 y/o (14 months - 12 y/o)
Progress until puberty then slowly regress
Radiographic features of Cherubism
- Radiolucency
- Usually multilocular
- Bilateral of posterior mandible
- Often from mandibular notch on one side to contralateral side
- Usually with maxillary involvement also
Histopathology of Cherubism
Giant cell granulomas
What is the natural history of Cherubism
stabilization around puberty and often regression
