Developmental Bone Disorders Flashcards
___ ___ includes several rare disorders of bone characterized by defective ___, which results in abnormal bone mineralization and low bone density (___).
Osteogenesis Imperfecta; collagen; osteopenia
Brittle bone disease
osteogenesis imperfecta
Osteogenesis imperfecta can be autosomal dominant or recessive. ___% are autosomal dominant and some cases are sporadic.
90
Where is the mutation for osteogenesis imperfecta?
collagen gene
T/F. Bones are very fragile and fracture easily, but the degree of fragility varies with the type of OI
True.
T/F. OI is one of the least common heritable bone diseases.
False, it’s one of the most common.
Clinical features of OI include ___ sclera, ___ loss, craniofacial alterations (CLIII occlusion, traingular facies), ___ deformity of long bones, and ___ teeth.
blue; hearing; bowing; opalescent
OI’s dental alterations are ___ to dentinogenesis imperfecta. Blue, yellow or brown translucences of teeth (noticed easier in ___ teeth). Severe ___ leading to loss of VDO and potential tooth loss.
identical; primary; attrition
Radiographically, OI has “___ teeth” or premature ___ obliteration. Tooth roots ___ or ___ ___ shaped.
shell; pulpal; narrow; corn cob
OI and dentinogenesis imperfecta are distinct mutations, different diseases with different tooth alterations and have blue sclera.
False, OI and dentinogenesis imperfecta can have SIMILAR tooth alterations and blue sclera but they are distinct mutations, different diseases
How do you designate dental defects associated with OI?
opalescent teeth
“Dentinogenesis imperfecta” is reserved for alterations isolated to the teeth.
How is OI treated?
- physiotherapy, rehabilitation, orthopedic surgery
- minimize factors that cause fractures
- intravenous bisphosphonates
What is typically administered to children with moderate to severe disease pain?
intravenous bisphosphonates
What does the prognosis depend on for OI patients?
type of OI
expression of the gene
How does death result in OI patients with severe forms of the disease?
passage though the birth canal
What is a rare inherited bone disease caused by lack of osteoclastic activity?
osteopetrosis
Osteopetrosis has an ___ in bone density due to failure of ___ to function normally with continued bone formation and ossification.
increase; osteoclasts
T/F. Osteopetrosis has autosomal dominant and recessive forms.
True. The recessive is much worse
What is seen on CT imaging with osteopetrosis?
thickening of bones of skull
What is commonly seen in the autosomal recessive form of osteopetrosis?
- blindness and deafness (cranial nerve compression)
- fractures
- osteomyelitis of the jaw
___ spaces are filled in by dense bone, resulting in loss of hematopoietic precursor cells leading to ___
Marrow; pancytopenia
- increased susceptibility to infection
- osteomyelitis of the jaw
What is a frequent complication of tooth extraction?
osteomyelitis
In osteopetrosis, radiographs show diffuse density of the ___. Tooth ___ are difficult to visualize due to density of surrounding bone.
skeleton; roots
In osteopetrosis, tooth eruption in common.
False, FAILURE OF tooth eruption is common
How is osteopetrosis treated?
supportive measures (transfusions and antibiotics) bone marrow transplant (limited success)
What are some alternative therapies of osteopetrosis?
interferon with calcitriol
restricted Ca++ intake, corticosteroids and erythropoietin
Prognosis of osteopetrosis is ___ for AR form with many patients dying before ___ years of age. ___ can have long term survival.
poor; 20; AD
What is an uncommon autosomal dominant disorder that affects skull, jaws, and clavicles?
cleidocranial dysplasia
How do patients with cleidocranial dysplasia present?
prominent forehead; hypoplastic midface
Why are primary dentition retained in patients with cleidocranial dyplasia?
because permanent teeth do not erupt
numerous impacted permanent and supernumerary teeth (plenty of teeth just not erupting in the correct space or not erupting at all)
What is today’s treatment for cleidocranial dysplasia?
combined surgical and orthodontic care to correct skeletal relations, remove supernumerary teeth and bring permanent teeth into proper relation
T/F. The prognosis is poor for cleidocranial dysplasia.
False, it is good. the life span of these patients is essentially normal
Where is osteoporotic bone marrow defect found?
usually seen in the body of mandible, usually at old extraction sites
T/F. Osteoporotic bone marrow defect is an incidental finding in middle aged, asymptomatic females.
True.
What is the pathogenesis of osteoporotic bone marrow defect?
unknown, may resemble metastatic disease (biopsy)
Microscopically, ___ and ___ marrow is seen in osteoporotic bone marrow defects.
fatty; hematopoietic
What is seen on pans of osteoporotic bone marrow defect? What about periapical radiographs?
pan: radiolucent, circumscribed
PA: ill-defined borders and fine central trabeculations
What are several other terms for idiopathic osteosclerosis?
dense bone island
enostosis
Idiopathic osteosclerosis is very ___ with no expansion. What region is most common?
radiopaque (dense viable bone microscopically)
premolar-molar
Describe the margins of idiopathic osteosclerosis.
margins may be sharp or blend with adjacent bone.
With idiopathic osteosclerosis, past studies did not distinguish the idiopathic lesions from those of inflammatory origin and confusion in terminology has resulted. What 3 disorders can it be confused with?
- condensing osteitis
- hypercementosis
- cemetoblastoma
T/F. Cherubism is an autosomal recessive condition detected in childhood.
False, it is autosomal DOMINANT or de novo mutation detected in childhood
Cherubism is a ___, bilateral expansion of the jaws, especially in the ___ that results in chubby cheeks.
painless; mandible
What causes the “eyes upturned to heaven” appearance seen in Cherubism?
involvement of the inferior and/or lateral orbital walls may tilt the eyeballs upward and retract the lower eyelid, thereby exposing the sclera below the iris to produce an “eyes upturned to heaven” appearance.
How does the radiograph look for patients with Cherubism?
bilateral multilocular radiolucencies of posterior mandible with often significant displacement of teeth.
In Cherubism, microscopically, there is edematous cellular ___ connective tissue, relatively sparse benign ___ ___ cells, and sometimes ___ ___.
fibrous connective; multinucleated giant; perivascular hyalinization
What is perivascular hyalinization?
