with bone matrix include:

A
Ø  Osteonectin 
Ø  Osteopontin 
Ø  Osteocalcin 
Ø  Sialoprotein 
Ø  Phosphoprotein 
Ø  Glycoprotein

20
Q

The non-collagenous matrix proteins of bone

are characterized by their:

A

Ø highly acidic nature
Ø high aggregation tendencies
Ø calcium binding properties

21
Q

In-Situ Remodelling, commonly seen where in dentistry?

A

A process of osteoclast resorption, and bone replacement by osteoblast activity.
Mostly seen in areas of alveolar bone affected by orthodontics.

22
Q

Intramembranous Bone Formation

A

Bone formation within or between connective tissue
membranes consisting of Type I collagen. Bone does
not replace cartilage as does endochondral bone.

This type of bone formation is found in the inner spongy layers of bone, as well as sutures. It is an extremely rapid and disorganized method of bone deposition, and allows for growth of the tissues surrounding it. Woven bone is an example of intramembranous bone growth.

Osteoblasts secrete matrix vesicles that mineralize surrounding collagen fibres. The osteoblasts usually become trapped themselves,
becoming osteocytes.

23
Q

contents of osteoblasts secretory vesicles

A
Ø   Pyrophosphatase 
Ø   Alkaline phosphatase 
Ø   Glycoproteins 
Ø   Phosphoproteins 
Ø   Phospholipids
24
Q

Endochondral Bone Formation

A

Bone formation within hyaline cartilage that involves a
concomitant replacement of the cartilage framework by
bone

Mostly seen in the vertebrae, long bones, base of the skull, and
head of the mandible.

Mesenchymal cells make the general outline of the final bone
shape. The cells differentiate into cartilage cells
(chondroblasts), which increase in size, secrete collagen and
mineralize it with matrix vesicles. The newly formed
chondrocytes eventually die. Vascular tissue from the
surrounding perichondrium invades the cartilage, allowing
chondrocytes and mesenchymal cells to enter the area. The
chondrocytes eat away the cartilage, and newly differentiated
osteoblasts deposit osteoid onto the cartilage. The osteoid is
mineralized by osteocytes, and bone is made.

The growth of these bones is dependant on the growth of the
cartilage, and stops once the cartilage is been completely
removed

25
Q

zones of activity in endochondral ossification

A
Ø   Reserve or resting chondrocytes 
Ø   Proliferation 
Ø   Maturation 
Ø   Hypertrophy and calcification 
Ø   Cartilage degeneration 
Ø   Osteogenesis

Q

control of bone metabolism, levels?

hormones?

A

Bone metabolism is controlled systemically by hormones and locally by mechanical factors, growth factors, and cytokines.

Hormones important to bone metabolism include: 
Ø   Parathyroid hormone (PTH) 
Ø   1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D 
Ø   Calcitonin 
Ø   Estrogen 
Ø   Glucocorticoids
28
Q

Cytokines and growth factors important to bone metabolism include, important one?

A

Ø Interlukin-1 (IL-1)
Ø Interlukin-6 (IL-6): made by blasts to stimulate clast differentiation=resorbtion occurs
Ø BMP-2 and BMP-7
Ø Transforming Growth Factor (TGF-)
Ø Insulin-like growth factor (IGF-I and IGF-II)
Ø Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)
Ø Fibroblast growth factor-beta (FGF-)

29
Q

what stimulates IL-6 production?

A

Under conditions that favor bone resorption,
osteoblasts can be stimulated by cytokines and
hormones to produce IL-6 which, in turn, promotes
differentiation of osteoclasts. Examples of such
stimulating cytokines include:
Ø Interleukin-11 (IL-11)
Ø Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-)
Ø Prostaglandins E2 (PGE2)
Ø Parathyroid hormone (PTH)
Ø 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D

30
Q

how osteoclasts resorb bone, rxn, enzymes?

A
Osteoclastic resorption of bone involves the creation of a localized acidic pH to demineralize hydroxyapatite, and a variety of enzymes that degrade the organic bone matrix:
carbonic anhydrase   
Ø   Lactic acid 
Ø   Citric acid 
Ø   Free protons (H+) 
Ø   Acid phosphatase    
Ø   Aryl sulfatase 
Ø   Collagenase (MMP) 
Ø   Gelatinase (MMP)
31

A

Ø Facial-lingual alignment of teeth
Ø Mesial to distal contour of the CEJ
Ø Facial-lingual width of teeth
Ø Presence of enamel pearls or cervical enamel projections

32

Ø   Root proximity 
Ø   Presence of enamel pearls 
Ø   State of tooth eruption

histologically characterized by?
A

Ø Generally asymptomatic causing a painless expansion of bone
Ø Usually a single lesion that can be either unilocular or multilocular
Ø Often confused with ameloblastoma or periapical granuloma or periapical cyst

38
Q

Multiple Myeloma
accounts for what % of malignancies involving what tissue?
origin of the cells?
frequent complication?

A

Ø Malignancy of plasma cell origin that accounts for nearly 50% of all malignancies involving bone
Ø The abnormal plasma cells are typically monoclonal (arise from a single cell)
Ø Patients frequently suffer kidney failure due to overload of circulating light chain protein (Bence Jones Protein) produced by the abnormal plasma cells

39
Q

Multiple Myeloma histology and radiology

A

Ø Histology shows monotonous sheets of neoplastic, variably differentiated, plasmacytoid cells that invade and replace normal host tissue

Ø Radiographically, patients may exhibit “punched out” areas in the cranium. Such areas are filled with the neoplastic plasmacytoid cells

40
Q

A

Ø A malignancy of mesenchymal cells that have the ability to produce osteoid or immature bone

Ø Excluding hematopoietic neoplasms, osteogenic sarcoma is the most common type of malignancy to originate within bone

Ø Pain and swelling are the most common symptoms

Ø Radiographic findings vary from dense sclerosis to a mixed sclerotic-radiolucent lesion. About 25% of lesions exhibit a “sunburst” patter
