[3] [4] [5] These techniques also underlie PAOO, where simultaneous bone augmentation with particulate bone graft (allgraft/xenograft) and collagen membrane were added in order to correct a deficient alveolar bone (dehiscences and fenestrations) that is often associated with gingival recessions.
Both diseases are uncommon, but concurrence is extremely rare which makes Bruck syndrome very difficult to research. [1] Bruck syndrome is thought to be an atypical variant of osteogenesis imperfecta most resembling type III, if not its own disease. [2] [3] Multiple gene mutations associated with osteogenesis imperfecta are not seen in Bruck ...
Osteoconduction is termed as "the property of a material to support tissue ingrowth, osteoprogenitor cell growth, and development for bone formation to occur". [2] In the context of bone grafting it occurs when the bone graft material serves as a scaffold for new bone growth that is perpetuated by the native bone.
Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (/ ˌ f aɪ b r oʊ d ɪ ˈ s p l eɪ ʒ (i) ə ɒ ˈ s ɪ f ɪ k æ n z p r ə ˈ ɡ r ɛ s ɪ v ə /; [1] abbr. FOP), also called Münchmeyer disease or formerly myositis ossificans progressiva, is an extremely rare connective tissue disease in which fibrous connective tissue such as muscle, tendons, and ligaments turn into bone tissue (ossification).
Osseointegration is also defined as: "the formation of a direct interface between an implant and bone, without intervening soft tissue". [1]An osseointegrated implant is a type of implant defined as "an endosteal implant containing pores into which osteoblasts and supporting connective tissue can migrate". [2]
It is synonymous with bone tissue formation. [1] There are two processes resulting in the formation of normal, healthy bone tissue : [ 2 ] Intramembranous ossification is the direct laying down of bone into the primitive connective tissue ( mesenchyme ), while endochondral ossification involves cartilage as a precursor.
The type II and XI collagenopathies are a group of disorders that affect connective tissue, the tissue that supports the body's joints and organs.These disorders are caused by defects in type II or type XI collagen.
Multiple epiphyseal dysplasia (MED), also known as Fairbank's disease, is a rare genetic disorder (dominant form: 1 in 10,000 births) that affects the growing ends of bones. Long bones normally elongate by expansion of cartilage in the growth plate (epiphyseal plate) near their ends.
