36
Q

how does RA cause damage in the body

inactive burn out phase

50
Q

treatment for pagets disease and osteoporosis

A

bisphosphonates

51
Q

what do bisphosphonates do

A

inhibit osteoclast activity and recruitment

52
Q

what is the issue with bisphosphonates

A

need to be careful of BRONJ bisphosphonate related osteonecrosis of the jaw

53
Q

describe osteomyelitis

A

→ It is inflammation of the bone or bone marrow

→ Usually always due to infection

54
Q

how can we get osteomyelitis

A

through blood stream
extension from the adj site
direct implantation of the organisms

55
Q

what bacterium is the most common cause of osteomyelitis

A

S aureus

56
Q

what is the clinical presentation of osteomyelitis

A

○ Fever
○ Localised bone pain
○ Overlying tenderness/erythema
○ Hard to diagnose so we can use a bone biopsy

57
Q

treatment of osteomyelitis

A

immobilise
antibiotics
maybe drainage

58
Q

why might we get osteomyelitis of the jae

A

Polymicrobial

Odontogenic infection

59
Q

why might people get tuberculous osteomyelitis

A

Haematogenous spread from reactivated primary TB focus

60
Q

what are the subtypes of osteomyelitis

A

focal sclerosis
diffuse scleorising
proliferative periostitis

61
Q

what are the types of fracture

A
simple 
compound
comminuted 
displaced 
stress 
greenstick 
pathologic
62
Q

what is the phases of fracture healing

A
  1. inflammatory phase
  2. reparative phase
  3. remodelling phase
63
Q

what happens in the inflammatory phase

A

1st week
Haematoma forms- source of hemopoietic cells and growth factor
Macrophages, neutrophils and platelets release Cytokines
Fibroblasts come to the fracture site
Granulation tissue forms around the fracture ends
Neovascularisation
Osteoblasts, chondrocytes( lay down cartilage) and fibroblasts leading to callus forming

64
Q

what happens in the endochondral phase

A

Cartilage provides provisional stabilisation

Endochondral ossification converts soft callus to hard callus woven bone

65
Q

what happens in the remodelling phase

A

The hard woven bone is remodelled into lamellar bone

66
Q

describe osteonecrosis

A

infarction of the bone marrow

67
Q

why does osteonecrosis occur

A

due to
alcohol
steroids
fracture

68
Q

what is the underlying cause of osteonecrosis

A

vascular insufficiency due to mechanical injury to the blood vessel eg thromboembolism

69
Q

presentations of osteonecrosis

A

→ Joint pain shoulder or hip
→ Can be asymptomatic–> collapse of articular bone
MRI shows bone marrow oedema

70
Q

management of osteonecrosis

A

→ Symptomatic
→ Surgical decompression
→ Grafts
joint replacement

71
Q

what happens if we have a drop in the calcium serum levels

A

PT glands to secrete PTH which increases calcium by
→ Increased osteoclast bone resorption
→ Increased calcium intestinal absorption
→ Increased synthesis of 1.25- dihydroxy vitamin D3
→ Increased renal tubular resorption Ca
→ Increased renal excretion PO4

72
Q

what happens when we have low calcium levels

A

bone resorption increases

73
Q

what is the other name for rickets

A

osteomalacia

74
Q

describe osteomalacia

A

The osteoid has not been mineralised and therefore defective mineralisation of the epiphyseal plate in children leading to weakened bones

75
Q

what is rickets

A

osteomalacia in children

76
Q

what is the aetiology of rickets

A

Aetiology is anything that interferes with bone mineralisation
Eg deficient intake or absorption of vitamin D( nutritional, malabsorption
Renal failure
Inhibitors of mineralisation
Defective vitamin D receptors

77
Q

what are the dental complications of vitamin D deficiency

A
Familial hypophosphatemia 
Large pulp chamber 
Thin enamel 
Dentinal defects which is globular 
Prone to abscesses
78
Q

what is hyperparathyroidism

A

Anything pathological which causes increase in PTH

79
Q

what does an increase of PTH do

A
→ Osteoclast bone resorption 
→ Intestinal Ca absorption 
→ synthesis of 1.25- dihydroxy vitamin D3 
→  renal tubular resorption Ca 
→  renal excretion PO4
80

what are the symptoms of hyperthyroidism

A

bones, stones, groans and moans
Bones- disease and pain
Stones- renal stones

A

Dentinogenesis imperfecta type II
In OI type IB

86
Q

what is endochondral ossification

A

Cartilage is used as a template and is replaced by bone

87
Q

what is intramembranous ossification

A

In the skull, maxilla and mandible they are formed by the deposition of bone within primitive mesenchymal tissue

88
