Lesson 7 (BONE DISEASES) FINALS Flashcards
brittle bones
OSTEOGENESIS IMPERFECTA
_______ is a dense calcified tissue affected by a variety of diseases causing dynamic reactions
bone
characteristically follows _______ patterns of heredity; however, sometimes a specific disease will be inherited in one case and not in another
mendelian
(BONE AND BONE DISEASES)
True or false
both maxilla and mandible do not suffer from generalized and
localized forms of skeletal diseases
FALSE
(both maxilla and mandible SUFFER from generalized and
localized forms of skeletal diseases)
the anatomic arrangement of the teeth embedded ______ in
the bone often produces a modified response to the primary injury
partially
fragilitas ossium
OSTEOGENESIS IMPERFECTA
osteopsathyrosis
OSTEOGENESIS IMPERFECTA
Lobstein’s disease
OSTEOGENESIS IMPERFECTA
closely related to dentinogenesis imperfecta
OSTEOGENESIS IMPERFECTA
arise or recognize later in childhood; also called osteopsathyrosis
Lobstein’s Type or tarda
What disease ?
Lobstein’s Type or tarda
OSTEOGENESIS IMPERFECTA
What disease?
Vrolik’s Type or congenita
OSTEOGENESIS IMPERFECTA
True or false
many infants affected with osteogenesis imperfecta are stillborn or die shortly after birth
True
extreme fragility and porosity of the bones with an
attendant proneness to fracture
OSTEOGENESIS IMPERFECTA
the fracture heals readily but new bone is of imperfect
quality
OSTEOGENESIS IMPERFECTA
→ hyperplastic callus formation
OSTEOGENESIS IMPERFECTA
pale blue sclerae
OSTEOGENESIS IMPERFECTA
o may be exuberant and mimics osteosarcoma
o in some cases true sarcoma arises
hyperplastic callus formation
(OSTEOGENESIS IMPERFECTA)
o abnormally thin sclerae causing pigmented choroid to show and produce its bluish color
pale blue sclerae
(OSTEOGENESIS IMPERFECTA)
not confined to this diseases; also seen in:
- osteopetrosis
- fetal rickets
- Marfan syndrome
- Ehlers-Danlos syndrome
(M,E,F,O)
OSTEOGENESIS IMPERFECTA
white sclerae
OSTEOGENESIS IMPERFECTA
found in older patients with more severe disease and earlier onset of fractures
white sclerae
additional signs and symptoms:
o laxity of the ligaments
o peculiar shape of the skull
o abnormal electrical reaction of the muscles
o capillary bleeding with no specific blood dyscrasia or
defect
OSTEOGENESIS IMPERFECTA
→ thin cortices
o composed of immature spongy bone
o trabeculae of the cancellous bone are delicate and show
microfractures
