    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteomyelitis_of_the_jaws

    Osteomyelitis of the jaws is osteomyelitis (which is infection and inflammation of the bone marrow, sometimes abbreviated to OM) which occurs in the bones of the jaws (i.e. maxilla or the mandible). Historically, osteomyelitis of the jaws was a common complication of odontogenic infection (infections of the teeth). Before the antibiotic era, it ...

  3. Chédiak–Higashi syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chédiak–Higashi_syndrome

    The diagnosis is confirmed by bone marrow smears that show "giant inclusion bodies" in the cells that develop into white blood cells (leukocyte precursor cells). CHS can be diagnosed prenatally by examining a sample of hair from a fetal scalp biopsy or testing leukocytes from a fetal blood sample.

  4. Tooth ankylosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_ankylosis

    As growth of the alveolar bone continues and the adjacent permanent teeth erupt, the ankylosed deciduous tooth appears to submerge into the bone, although in reality it has not changed position. Treatment is by extraction of the involved tooth, to prevent malocclusion , periodontal disturbance or dental caries .

  5. Dental pulp stem cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_pulp_stem_cell

    Studies have shown that the proliferation rate of DPSCs is 30% higher than in other stem cells, such as bone marrow stromal stem cells (BMSSCs). [8] These characteristics of DPSCs are mainly due to the fact that they exhibit elevated amounts of cell cycling molecules, one being cyclin-dependent kinase 6 (CDK6), present in the dental pulp tissue ...

  6. Bone marrow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_marrow

    Bone marrow is a semi-solid tissue found within the spongy (also known as cancellous) portions of bones. [2] In birds and mammals, bone marrow is the primary site of new blood cell production (or haematopoiesis). [3] It is composed of hematopoietic cells, marrow adipose tissue, and supportive stromal cells.

  7. Dental attrition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_attrition

    Dental attrition is a type of tooth wear caused by tooth-to-tooth contact, [1] resulting in loss of tooth tissue, usually starting at the incisal or occlusal surfaces. Tooth wear is a physiological process and is commonly seen as a normal part of aging.

  9. Dental follicle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_follicle

    The formative role of the dental follicle starts when the crown of the tooth is fully developed and just before tooth eruption into the oral cavity. [2]Although tooth eruption mechanisms have yet to be understood entirely, generally it can be agreed that many factors, together, affect the tooth eruption process which is why it is very difficult to differentiate the causes and effects.
