Abstract:
Camurati-Engelmann disease (CED), or progressive diaphyseal dysplasia, is an uncommon bone dysplasia that is inherited in an autosomal-dominant pattern. The disease mainly affects the diaphyses of the long bones but can induce sclerotic changes to the facial skeleton and skull base. The diagnosis of CED is based on clinical and radiologic features. This article presents the clinical and radiologic characteristics of the jaws as visualized on cone-beam computed tomograms of a 46-year-old woman diagnosed with CED.

Ig-CAMs exhibit either homophilic binding (to other Ig-CAMs) or heterophilic binding (to other ligands such as integrins). While most Ig-CAMs...
Bone Disorders
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...
