  2. Bone resorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_resorption

    Bone resorption is resorption of bone tissue, that is, the process by which osteoclasts break down the tissue in bones [1] and release the minerals, resulting in a transfer of calcium from bone tissue to the blood. [2] The osteoclasts are multi-nucleated cells that contain numerous mitochondria and lysosomes. These are the cells responsible for ...

  3. Tooth resorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_resorption

    Tooth resorption. Resorption of the root of the tooth, or root resorption, is the progressive loss of dentin and cementum by the action of odontoclasts. [ 4 ] Root resorption is a normal physiological process that occurs in the exfoliation of the primary dentition. However, pathological root resorption occurs in the permanent or secondary ...

  4. Mandibular fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandibular_fracture

    Mandibular fracture, also known as fracture of the jaw, is a break through the mandibular bone. In about 60% of cases the break occurs in two places. [1] It may result in a decreased ability to fully open the mouth. [1] Often the teeth will not feel properly aligned or there may be bleeding of the gums. [1]

  5. Dental restoration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_restoration

    Dental restoration, dental fillings, or simply fillings are treatments used to restore the function, integrity, and morphology of missing tooth structure resulting from caries or external trauma as well as to the replacement of such structure supported by dental implants. [1] They are of two broad types— direct and indirect —and are further ...

  6. Cracked tooth syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cracked_tooth_syndrome

    Cracked tooth syndrome could be considered a type of dental trauma and also one of the possible causes of dental pain.One definition of cracked tooth syndrome is "a fracture plane of unknown depth and direction passing through tooth structure that, if not already involving, may progress to communicate with the pulp and/or periodontal ligament."

  7. Ossification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ossification

    Bone is broken down by osteoclasts, and rebuilt by osteoblasts, both of which communicate through cytokine (TGF-β, IGF) signalling. Ossification (also called osteogenesis or bone mineralization) in bone remodeling is the process of laying down new bone material by cells named osteoblasts. It is synonymous with bone tissue formation. [1]

  8. Vertical root fracture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_root_fracture

    Vertical root fracture. Vertical root fractures are a type of fracture of a tooth. They can be characterized by an incomplete or complete fracture line that extends through the long axis of the root toward the apex. Vertical root fractures represent between 2 and 5 percent of crown/root fractures. The greatest incidence occurs in endodontically ...

  9. Wolff's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolff's_law

    Wolff's law, developed by the German anatomist and surgeon Julius Wolff (1836–1902) in the 19th century, states that bone in a healthy animal will adapt to the loads under which it is placed. [1] If loading on a particular bone increases, the bone will remodel itself over time to become stronger to resist that sort of loading.
