C. Bone Modelling and Remodelling

A

There are two processes for bone formation:

Q

Bone Formation Processes underlying
Jaw Bone Growth

Mn

A

Mn – endochondral (condyle) & intramembranous (surface)

39
Q

Modeling:

A

change of overall bone size and shape; bone

formation and resorption happen at different locations

56
Q

PDL fiber attachment adapts to

A

bone modeling during orthodontic tooth movement

57
Q

PDL Bone resorption side:

A

Detachment → → → → attachment reconstitution

58

59
Q

Source of osteoclasts on the resorption (compression) side:

A
  • Normally, osteoclasts are not present in the PDL.
  • Upon receiving compressive force, they are recruited from the blood flow (light pressure) and/or the bone marrow of the adjacent alveolar process (heavy pressure)
60
Q

Heavy pressure

A

occludes blood vessels

61
Q

In response to heavy pressure, osteoclasts were recruited from
