Questions and Answers

What is the main process involved in bone repair and regeneration?

  • Micro- and macrostructure remodeling
  • Osteogenic and osteoclastic balance
  • Osteogenesis and osteoclast activity (correct)
  • Wolff's Law adaptation

How does bone adapt to a new mechanical environment according to Wolff's Law?

  • By promoting macrostructure regeneration
  • By enhancing osteogenic activity
  • By increasing microstructure remodeling
  • By changing the equilibrium between osteogenesis and osteoclasis (correct)

What happens to the equilibrium if more stress than the physiological is applied to bone?

  • It tilts toward more osteogenic activity (correct)
  • It leads to increased osteoclastic activity
  • It promotes macrostructure remodeling
  • It causes microstructure degradation
