Bone Disorders01:29

Bone Disorders

8.0K
Aging and its effect on bone remodeling is the most common cause of bone disorders. In young and healthy people, bone deposition and resorption happen at an equal rate to maintain optimal bone health.
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...

Spongy Bone01:09

Spongy Bone

12.8K
All bones comprise an outer layer of compact bone, and an interior made up of spongy bone tissue, also called cancellous or trabecular bone. In long bones, spongy bone tissue is mainly found in the interior of the epiphyses (broad ends of the bone).
Spongy bone is more porous, and less dense compared to compact bone. It is composed of concentric lamellae that are arranged irregularly to form the trabecular network. In some bones, the spaces between trabeculae contain red marrow, where...

Alveoli and Alveolar Ducts

5.9K
The respiratory zone of the human body, which stands in contrast to the conducting zone, comprises the structures that actively participate in the exchange of gases. The initiation of this zone is marked by the terminal bronchioles converging into respiratory bronchioles, the tiniest bronchiole classification. The respiratory bronchioles give way to the alveolar ducts that opens into a congregation of alveoli. Actively involved in gas exchange, alveoli resemble tiny sacs similar to clusters of...

Essential Minerals for Bone Health01:31

Essential Minerals for Bone Health

6.2K
The minerals contained in all of the food we consume are essential for our organ systems. However, certain essential minerals, such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, and fluoride, largely affect bone health.
Calcium and Phosphorus
Calcium is a critical component of bones, especially in the form of calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate. Since the body cannot make calcium, it must be obtained from the diet. However, calcium cannot be absorbed from the small intestine without...

Compact Bone01:27

Compact Bone

22.4K
Most bones contain compact and spongy osseous tissue, but their distribution and concentration vary based on the bone's overall function.
Compact bone, also called cortical bone, is the denser, stronger of the two types of bone tissue. It is found under the periosteum and in the diaphyses of long bones, where it provides support and protection. The microscopic structural unit of compact bone is called an osteon, or haversian system. Each osteon is composed of concentric rings of calcified...

Hormones and Bone Tissue01:17

Hormones and Bone Tissue

3.5K
The endocrine system produces and secretes hormones, which interact with the skeletal system. These hormones control bone growth, maintain bone once it is formed, and remodel it.
Hormones That Influence Osteoblasts and/or Maintain the Matrix
Several hormones are necessary for controlling bone growth and maintaining the bone matrix. The pituitary gland secretes growth hormone (GH), which, as its name implies, controls bone growth. This happens in several ways: first, it triggers chondrocyte...

Is there correlation between alveolar and systemic bone density?

    Summary

    Maxillomandibular alveolar bone density correlates with systemic bone mineral density, particularly in the femoral neck. These findings suggest localized bone densitometry may be valuable for individual assessment.

    Area of Science:

    • Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology
    • Osteology
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Systemic bone mineral density (BMD) is crucial for overall skeletal health.
    • Alveolar bone density may serve as an indicator of systemic bone health.
    • Assessing the correlation between oral and systemic bone density is important for early detection of bone loss.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the relationship between maxillomandibular alveolar bone density and systemic bone mineral density.
    • To determine if specific regions of alveolar bone correlate with standard BMD measurement sites.

    Main Methods:

    • Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) was used to measure bone density in the maxilla, mandible, lumbar spine, femur, and cervical vertebra.
    • Periapical radiographs with an aluminum step-wedge were used for digital reading of apical bone density.
    • The study included 23 middle-aged women.

    Main Results:

    • Maxillary alveolar bone density showed a significant correlation with femoral neck bone density (r = 0.433, p < 0.05).
    • Posterior mandible and maxilla bone densities correlated with cervical vertebra bone density (r = 0.554, p ≤ 0.01 and r = 0.423, p ≤ 0.05).
    • Anterior maxilla bone density correlated with posterior mandible bone density (r = 0.488, p ≤ 0.05).

    Conclusions:

    • Maxillary alveolar bone density is significantly correlated with femoral neck bone density.
    • Specific alveolar regions, namely the anterior maxilla and posterior mandible, showed significant correlations.
    • Findings suggest that bone densitometry can be evaluated both individually and locally.
