Study Notes

Osteoclasts and Bone Structure

Osteoclasts possess a large volume and contain 50-100 nuclei.
Bone trabeculae exhibit a mosaic appearance with demarcation by reversal lines (lignes basophiles inversées).
Active phases see bone marrow highly vascularized, increasing bleeding risk during extraction.
Advanced stages involve acellular spherical masses fusing into large sclerotic areas, contributing to osteomyelitis risk during extraction.
Treatment options include normalizing biological markers, use of bisphosphonates if active, and managing dental work.

Cherubism

Hereditary, bilateral, symmetric disease with autosomal dominant inheritance, variable expressivity, and high penetrance.
Linked to SH3BP2 gene on chromosome 4 (4p16), impacting osteoblastic and osteoclastic activity.
Primarily affects maxilla, notably mandible with expansion and aesthetic changes.
Clinical symptoms present between ages 2-5 and stabilize by puberty, usually normalizing by age 30.
Predilection for the angle of the mandible and ascending ramus causes non-painful bilateral swelling, affecting facial appearance and function.
Dental anomalies include agenesis and abnormal eruption patterns of molars, primarily impacting primary teeth.

Osteosclerosis and Osteitis

Idiopathic osteosclerosis presents dense bone regions, not linked to infection or neoplasms, occurs mostly in the posterior mandible and is asymptomatic.
Osteitis condensante results from inflammation (e.g., pulp disease), often seen in young individuals with dental issues, characterized by radio-opacity at the apex.
Localized osteoporotic defects occur due to hematopoietic tissue collection, predominantly in edentulous areas of adult women, presenting as radiotranslucent regions.

Central Giant Cell Granuloma (CGCG)

Benign intraosseous lesions more prevalent in women, particularly under 30 years, with predilection for the anterior mandible.
Clinical forms include non-aggressive (slow growth, low recurrence) and aggressive (fast growth, high recurrence) variants, manifesting with pain, paresthesia, or expansion.
Radiographically, CGCG appears as well-defined, non-corticated lesions; histopathology reveals vascularized stroma with mononuclear and multinucleated giant cells.
Treatment varies: conservative for non-aggressive cases and larger excision for aggressive types.

Fibro-osseous Lesions

Normal bone is replaced by collagen fibers; categorized as developmental, reactive, or neoplastic.
Fibrous dysplasia has a GNAS gene mutation on chromosome 20, can be monostotic or polyostotic, impacting individuals variably based on the age of onset.
Symptoms include facial asymmetry, vision/hearing issues, and skeletal deformities related to polyostotic fibrous dysplasia, associated with Jaffe-Lichtenstein and McCune-Albright syndromes.

Cemento-osseous Dysplasias

Most prevalent benign fibro-osseous lesions in maxillaries, with disorganized bone production but no malignant transformation risk.
Types include periapical (more frequent in black women, asymptomatic, typically non-expansive), focal (mostly in women aged 20-50), and florid (bilateral and multifocal).
Cementoblastoma characterized by well-defined, unilocular lesions with potential tooth movement but non-malignant behavior.

Benign Neoplasms

Cemento-ossifying fibroma has a strong predilection for women and mandibular premolar-molar areas; it appears well-defined radiographically and has excellent prognosis.
Chondroma, a cartilage tumor in maxillae, requires differentiation from low-grade chondrosarcoma.
Osteoma is a slow-growing neoplasm that can cause asymmetry, primarily in the head and neck; associated with Gardner syndrome, linked to APC gene mutations.
Osteoblastoma and osteoid osteoma, while rarer, primarily affect young patients, with specific characteristics regarding pain and radiographic appearance.

Clinical Considerations

Importance of diagnosis through radiographic evaluation and histopathology for distinguishing lesions.
Management of conditions ranges from conservative monitoring to surgical interventions depending on growth patterns and symptoms presented.

Buccal Cavity Conditions

Symmetrical enlargement of the alveolar ridge and lowering of the palatine vault can lead to denture incompatibility and diastema formation.
Radiographic findings include loss of differentiation between spongy and cortical bone, bone hypertrophy, osteolysis, and generalized hypercementosis.
Lytic phase shows osteoporosis with decreased bone density, while osteoblastic phase indicates general thickening of the external skull and loss of lamina dura.
Laboratory findings usually show normal phosphocalcic balance and elevated markers indicating bone remodeling (pyridinolines, deoxypyridinolines, N-telopeptides).
Histopathological features include areas of osteolysis next to bone apposition and abnormal lamellar bone due to increased osteoblast activity.
Treatment aims to restore aesthetics and function, often requiring extraction of primary teeth.

Paget's Disease of Bone

Also known as osteitis deformans, characterized by increased bone remodeling, leading to disorganized bone structure and deformities causing pain.
Second most common metabolic bone disease after osteoporosis, notably affecting older populations in England and Western Europe, more prevalent in men.
Etiology linked to both environmental and genetic factors that disrupt osteoclast and possibly osteoblast functions, with mutations in the SQSTM1 gene as a common factor.
Phases of the disease:
- Lytic phase: active osteoclasts lead to rapid bone resorption.
- Mixed phase: resorption coupled with excessive abnormal deposition by osteoblasts.
- Sclerotic phase: dominant bone deposition results in weak, poorly organized bone quality.
Clinical symptoms can range from asymptomatic to severe pain in affected areas such as the iliac bones and skull, with the skull showing a progressive increase in circumference.
Dental implications include high risk of osteomyelitis during procedures, especially extractions due to changes in the bone structure.
Treatment includes use of bisphosphonates for active cases and adjustments to dental appliances.

Cherubism

Hereditary condition that is bilateral and symmetric, following an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern with variations in expression but high penetrance.
Genetic mutation in the SH3BP2 gene on chromosome 4 affects osteoblastic and osteoclastic activity predominantly in the maxilla.
Symptoms commonly appear during childhood and stabilize around puberty, often resulting in facial aesthetic changes due to maxillary expansion.
Can cause dental anomalies including agenesis of molars and premature loss of primary teeth.
Radiological features include bilateral, multilocular lesions causing thinning and perforation of cortical bones, especially around the mandible.
Histopathologically noted for a cellular proliferation within a highly vascularized stroma with populations of mononuclear and multinucleated giant osteoclastic cells.
Treatment varies; non-aggressive cases may require conservative management while aggressive cases necessitate surgical excision.

Benign Fibro-Osseous Lesions

Characterized by the replacement of normal bone by collagen fibers; can resemble immature bone or dental cement-like materials.
Fibrous dysplasia is a developmental defect linked to mutations in the GNAS gene, appearing in monostotic or polyostotic forms, the latter being more common in women.
Monostotic dysplasia predominantly affects the maxilla, while polyostotic may impact multiple bones leading to deformities and associated syndromes like Jaffe-Lichtenstein and McCune-Albright.
Treatment for fibrous dysplasia is conservative, focusing on management through growth stabilization, with surgical interventions reserved for severe deformities.

Other Tumors and Lesions

Fibro cement-ossifying tumors are benign neoplasms prevalent in women, particularly associated with premolars and molars.
Chondromas are cartilage tumors found in the maxilla and are differentiated from chondrosarcomas.
Osteomas consist of mature bone primarily in the head and neck region, known for asymptomatic slow growth.
Gardener syndrome is associated with multiple osteomas and carries a risk of colorectal malignancy, thus necessitating vigilant monitoring.

General Treatment Notes

Many benign conditions require conservative management, especially fibrous dysplasia.
Surgical intervention is indicated for aggressive forms of conditions like cherubism and significant deformities from dysplasia.
Regular monitoring of symptoms and radiological changes is crucial for all conditions mentioned.
