Abstract:
Deviations of the condylar form are usually ascribed to "degenerative arthritis" or "osteoarthritis." More recently, osteonecrosis has been discussed as a possible cause of condylar degeneration and pain. This article presents a review of the literature on osteonecrosis, emphasizing the spectrum of degenerative osseous disease, which includes osteoarthrosis, condylsis, osteomyelitis, and osteonecrosis. Preliminary results of mandibular core decompression with and without bone grafting are presented suggesting a therapeutic benefit. Further study is recommended to elucidate this process.

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...
