  2. Calcification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcification

    Calcification can manifest itself in many ways in the body depending on the location. In the pulpal structure of a tooth, calcification often presents asymptomatically, and is diagnosed as an incidental finding during radiographic interpretation. Individual teeth with calcified pulp will typically respond negatively to vitality testing; te

  3. Osteomalacia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteomalacia

    Osteomalacia is a disease characterized by the softening of the bones caused by impaired bone metabolism primarily due to inadequate levels of available phosphate, calcium, and vitamin D, or because of resorption of calcium. The impairment of bone metabolism causes inadequate bone mineralization.

  4. Eagle syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eagle_syndrome

    Eagle syndrome (also termed stylohyoid syndrome, [1] styloid syndrome, [2] stylalgia, [3] styloid-stylohyoid syndrome, [2] or styloid–carotid artery syndrome) [4] is an uncommon condition commonly characterized but not limited to sudden, sharp nerve-like pain in the jaw bone and joint, back of the throat, and base of the tongue, triggered by swallowing, moving the jaw, or turning the neck. [1]

  5. Bone resorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_resorption

    Some diseases with symptoms of decreased bone density are osteoporosis, and rickets. Some people who experience increased bone resorption and decreased bone formation are astronauts. Due to the condition of being in a zero-gravity environment, astronauts do not need to work their musculoskeletal system as hard as when on earth. Ossification ...

  6. Osteitis fibrosa cystica - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osteitis_fibrosa_cystica

    Osteoclastic bone resorption releases minerals, including calcium, from the bone into the bloodstream, causing both elevated blood calcium levels, and the structural changes which weaken the bone. The symptoms of the disease are the consequences of both the general softening of the bones and the excess calcium in the blood, and include bone ...

  7. Myositis ossificans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myositis_ossificans

    The early phase occurs in the first four weeks of injury with inflammatory phase of bone formation. This is followed by intermediate phase of bone formation (four to eight weeks following injury) where calcification started to occur and is visible on X-rays. During the maturation phase, mature bone started to form.

  8. Skeletal fluorosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeletal_fluorosis

    Symptoms are mainly promoted in the bone structure. Due to a high fluoride concentration in the body, the bone is hardened and thus less elastic, resulting in an increased frequency of fractures. [2] Other symptoms include thickening of the bone structure and accumulation of bone tissue, which both contribute to impaired joint mobility.

  9. Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_recurrent_multi...

    Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is a rare condition (1:1,000,000), in which the bones have lesions, inflammation, and pain.It is called multifocal because it can appear in different parts of the body, primarily bones, and osteomyelitis because it is very similar to that disease, although CRMO appears to be without any infection.
