In this video, we dive deep into the world of Fibrous Dysplasia, a rare bone disorder that replaces normal bone with fibrous connective tissue, giving it a distinctive "ground-glass" appearance on radiographs. 🦴🔍
Learn about the genetic mutation in the GNAS gene that triggers this condition, affecting osteoblasts and disrupting the natural bone remodeling process. This disruption can lead to deformities, weakness, and fractures, making life challenging for those affected.
Discover how Fibrous Dysplasia can manifest in noticeable facial asymmetry, pain, loose teeth, malocclusion, and even fractures. Numbness or tingling sensations may occur if nerve pathways are affected, and skin patches might become visible.
Did you know that this condition primarily affects children and adolescents? It stems from a mutation that occurs early in fetal development, with a higher incidence in females. Fibrous Dysplasia can present in various forms, such as Monostotic, which affects a single bone, or Polyostotic, which involves multiple bones.
Diagnosing Fibrous Dysplasia in a dental setting requires a comprehensive approach. From patient history and clinical examinations to radiographic techniques like panoramic and periapical radiographs, we cover it all. Cone Beam CT scans provide a detailed map of the condition within the jaw structures, while a biopsy is essential for differentiation.
While there's no complete cure for Fibrous Dysplasia, we discuss treatment modalities that effectively manage its symptoms and enhance oral function and appearance. From non-surgical options like bisphosphonates to surgical interventions like bone contouring and bone grafting, we explore the range of possibilities.
