Rheumatology and Orthopedics Flashcards
Osteogenesis Imperfecta
- imperfect formation of bone
- usually autosomal dominant
- brittle bone (fracture)
- easy bruising
- joint hypermobility
- HEARING problems
- blue sclera
- osteosclerosis (deafness)
Dentinogenesis imperfecta
- imperfect formation of dentin
- often seen associated with osteogenesis imperfecta
- abnormal translucency
- brown-purple color
- abnormal wear
- altered enamel-dentin interface
- obliterated pulp chamber (NOT seen on x-rays)
Cleidocranial Dysplasia
- autosomal dominant
- absent/defective clavicles
- hyperdontia
- retained deciduous dentition
- unerupted permanent teeth seen in pan (mis-shapen, mal-formed)
- malformed teeth
- dentigerous cysts (surrounds crown of un-erupted teeth)
Rickets
- lack of vitamin D or calcium in children (osteomalacia in adults)
- dietary, lack of sunlight, malabsorption
- excessive calcium demands
- renal disease
- Vitamin D resistant rickets
- accelerated metabolism
- bone deformity
- Rachitic rosary (costochondral junction)
Vitamin D-resistant rickets
- large pulp chambers (pulp horns go almost to DEJ)
2. pulpitis–>abscess
Osteoporosis
- diminished bone mass
- low bone density
- risk factors
* *age, sex, family history, lifestyle, drugs, disease - VERY COMMON
Tx of Osteoporosis
- Calcitonin
- Bisphosponates–>interferes with normal bone turnover
- Denosumab
Side effects of Bisphosphonates
- may cause osteonecrosis of jaw
- IV intake greatly increases risk (versus oral)
- can also be seen with denosmab, bevacizumab, sunitinib, and tooth extraction
Osteonecrosis of the Jaw - Prevention
- endodontic therapy instead of extractions
- avoid periodontal surgery with oral BPs (no periodontal surgery with IV BPs)
- no apical surgery
- NO implants in IV BPs
- drug holiday (6 months) may increase chances of success
Tx of Osteonecrosis of Jaw
- chlorhexidine rinses
- antibiotics
- debridement/resection
- pain control
Osteomyelitis
- hematogenous vs. direct
- acute (not seen very often) vs. chronic
- focal sclerosisng (small area of dense bone, not much inflammation) vs. diffuse sclerosing
- proliferative periostitis (proliferation of bone)
- jaws (usually direct and acute)
* *odontogenic infections: most common
* *heamtogenous: rare
What microbe causes osteomyelitis?
Staph Aureus
Osteomyelitis - Process
- inflammation
- vascular thrombosis
- bone necrosis
- sinus formation
- sequestrum (piece of dead bone that works its way to surface)
- involucrum (piece of dead bone that hasn’t made its way to surface)
Osteomyelitis - Clinical features
- fever, pain swelling
- mobile tender teeth
- purulent gingival exudate
- labial anesthesia
What are two reasons lips go numb?
- infection
2. tumor
Management of osteomyelitis
- antibiotics
- drainage
- sequestrectomy
- hyperbaric oxygen
Fibrous Dysplasia
unknown etiology
Monostatic Fibrous Dysplasia
- most common
- F > M
- maxillary involvement common
Polyostotic Fibrous Dysplasia
- AKA Albright Syndrome
- cafe au lait skin lesions
- precocious puberty in females
Characterization of Fibrous Dysplasia
- ground-glass appearance
- no defined margin
- normal Ca and P
- elevated alkaline phosphatase and urinary hydroxyproline
- self-limiting disease
Paget Disease of Bone
- osteitis deformans
- M > F
- uncoordinated overactivity of osteoclasts and osteoblasts
- lysis–>apposition–>sclerosis–>deformity
- NORMAL Ca and P
- elevated alkaline phosphatase and urinary hydroxyproline
Clinical Featuers - Paget Disease
- “cotton wool” appearance of skull
- malar bulging (“leontiasis ossea”)
- wided alveolar ridge
- loss of lamina dura
- hypercementosis
- extractions diffficult
- frequent denture remakes
Marfan Syndrome
- most common genetic CT disorder
- autosomal dominant
- long limbs, archnodactyl, loose joints, pectus excava
- dilation of ascending aorta; dissectin aortic anuerysm; aortic regurgitation; mital valve prolapse
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
- usually autosomal dominant
- hyperextensible skin, bleeding tendency; bruising; loose-jointedness
- tendency for mitral valve prolapse
* *increased risk for infective endocarditis
* *increased risk for mitral insufficiency
Symptoms of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
- microdontia
- short roots
- pulp stones
- deciduous teeth: abnormal molars, obliterated tooth pulp, enamel attrition
- permanent teeth: agenesis, microdontia
Osteoarthritis
- most common form of arthritis
- multiple risk factors
- caused by articular cartilage with compensatory thickening of bone and periarticular cyst formation
- usually weight-bearing or traumatized joints
- progressive distal joint deformity
Do people with osteoarthritis have TMJ problems?
NO
Rheumatoid Arthritis
- multi-system, immune complex autoimmune disease
- common (2% of population)
- elevated ESR; positive RF; ANA; other
* *progressive proximal joint deformity
* *ulnar deviation of fingers
Rheumatoid Arthritis - Dental Aspects
- sjogren syndrome
- some TMJ effects, but not MAJOR
- stomatitis medicementosa
- multiple supportive devices, short morning appointments, treat sitting up with neck and leg supports
- consider bleeding tendency (corticosteroid supplementation and prophylactic antibiotic coverage)
What causes gout?
deposit of urate crystals in joints–>PMNs release lysosomal enzymes–>inflammation (great toe)
Primary gout
inborn error of metabolism
Secondary gout
drug side effect
Meat-eating gout
- eating
- beer drinking
- obese
- old men
