Paget's disease of the bone SCENARIO At 2 pm on Wednesday 13th October 2021, Mr. Johnson reported to Victoria dental clinic nursery in Vista Bella with complaints of difficulty in chewing food as his teeth were not in contact during mastication. The patient has a history of swelling in the left and right maxillary posterior teeth region for the past 6 years. His vital signs read as follows, blood pressure 152/81, pulse 92, SpO2 94%, glucose 126mg/dl. Swollen areas were observed bilaterally around the cheeks and on the right portion of the forehead. The swollen areas began to show a gradual increase in size. Upon examining, more swollen areas were present when observing around the inner cheek areas bilaterally, which seemed to be rough and bone-like in consistency when palpating. The swollen areas had no movement and joined to the bone underneath. The area had an enlarged appearance. The contact between teeth was altered to the point where the enamel is no longer intact. As the swollen…

View Available Hint(s)for Part C Select all of the sentences below that correctly describe the role of minerals in healthy bone tissue and osteoporosis risk. Select all that apply. A)Sufficient intakes of magnesium and potassium are associated with increased bone health. B)Regular consumption of calcium during childhood and adolescence is related to lower bone mineral density in older adults. C)The most effective way to prevent loss of bone mass and elasticity is to maintain a high bone mineral density. D)Dramatic weight loss results in less stress placed on the bones, thereby improving bone mineral density. E)Weight-bearing exercise can help prevent osteoporosis and reduce the risk of falls and fractures.

Match the following to their proper description (answers may be used more than once). Osteoblasts Bone matrix Osteoblasts Alkaline phosphatase Osteocytes Osteocytes Osteoclasts Osteoclasts Are derived from monocytes. Are enclosed singly in lacunae. Are large, motite cells with multiple nuclei. Consists of type I collagen fibers, proteoglycans, osteonectin, and other glycoproteins. Contact neighboring cells via long cytoplasmic processes and gap junctions. Creates locally a high concentration of phosphate ions that cause crystallization of calcium phosphate on matrix vesicles. Release small membrane-enclosed matrix vesicles that contain alkaline phosphatase and other enzymes. Synthesize the organic components of the bone matrix.

Collagen is to bone flexibility as [ Select ] ["hydroxyapetite", "calcitonin", "parathyroid hormone", "calcitriol", "cholecalciferol"] is to bone stiffness Osteoblasts is to osteogenesis as [ Select ] ["osteocytes", "osteoprogenitor cells", "osteoclasts", "osteosarcome", "chondrocytes", "fibroblasts"] is to osteolysis
