DBD Flashcards
______ ______ is one of the most common heritable bone diseases
Osteogenesis Imperfecta
“brittle bone disease”
Osteogenesis imperfecta is characterized by a mutation in the ______ gene:
- Abnormal _____
- _______
collagen gene
- Abnormal mineralization
- Osteopenia (low bone density)
What is the heritable variation of osteogenesis imperfecta (AD vs AR)
Autosomal dominant: 90%
Autosomal recessive: 10%
Clinical (non-dental) findings of osteogenesis imperfecta:
- Blue sclera
- Hearing loss
- Craniofacial alterations (CL III occl.; triangular face)
- Bowing deformity of bones
Clincal dental findings of osteogenesis imperfecta:
Identical to dentogenesis imperfecta:
- blue/yellow/brown translucensy (“opalescent”)
- severe attrition (loss of VDO)
Radiographic findings of osteogenesis imperfecta:
- “shell teeth”
- pulpal obliteration
- roots narrow/corn cob shaped
Tx of osteogenesis imperfecta:
- Classically: physiotherapy, rehab, and orthopedic surgery
- Minimize factors that cause fractures
- IV bisphosphonates to kids w/ mod-severe disease
Prognosis of osteogenesis imperfecta:
Variable depending on type/gene expression
Normal - death at birth
_____ is characterized by a lack of osteoclastic activity (continued bone formation and ossification)
Osteopetrosis
Compare AD osteopetrosis vs AR osteopetrosis
AD: less severe
AR: severe
- blindness
- deafness
- fractures
- osteomyelitis (infection/inflammation of marrow)
In osteopetrosis, marrow spaces are filled by ___ ___ resulting in loss of _____ ____ which results in _____
In osteopetrosis, marrow spaces are filled by dense bone resulting in loss of hematopoietic precursors which results in pancytopenia (deficiency of all blood cell types)
Radiographic presentation of osteopetrosis:
- Diffuse density of skeleton
- tooth roots hard to visualize (dense bone surrounds them)
- Failure of eruption
Tx of osteopetrosis:
- Supportive: transfusion and AB when necessary
- Marrow transplant = limited success
- Alternative: interferon w/ calcitriol and restrition of Ca2+ intake, corticosteroids, and EPO
Prognosis of osteopetrosis:
AD: long term survival possible
AS: poor (life expectancy <20)
_____ _____ is an AD disorder that mainly affects the skull, jaws, and clavicles
Cleidocranial dysplasia
Clinical presentation of cleidocranial dysplasia
- Prominent forehead and hypoplastic face
- Primary dentition retained (permanent present but un-erupted)
Tx and Prognosis of cleidocranial dysplasia
Tx:
- Surgery: correct skeletal relations and remove supernumerary teeth
- Ortho: correct tooth relations
Prognosis: Good (essentially normal lifespan)
Osteoporotic bone marrow defect presentation and epidemiology:
- Asymptomatic: incidental finding
- Body of mandible at an old extraction site
- Middle aged females
Osteoporotic bone marrow defect histopathology:
- Fatty and hematopoietic marrow seen
- May resemble metastatic disease (BIOPSY!)
Osteoporotic bone marrow defect radiographic findings:
PANO: radiolucent and circumscribed
PA: ill-defined borders and fine central trabeculations
Idiopathic osteosclerosis is an ______ (incidental finding), _____ lesion with no expasion.
It is also known as ____ ____ ___ and _____
Idiopathic osteosclerosis is an asymptomatic (incidental finding), radiopaque lesion with no expasion.
It is also known as “dense bone island” and “enostosis”
Idiopathic osteosclerosis is most commonly found in the _____ region and consists of _____ ____ ____
premolar region
dense viable bone
What three lesions is idiopathic osteosclerosis often confused with?
Condensing osteitis
Hypercementosis
Cementoblastoma
