Višnja Blašković-Šubat ; Medicinski fakultet Stomatološki odjel, Rijeka, Hrvatska

Abstract

The alveolar bone o f the maxilla and mandible is both a tissue and an organ o f the hematopoietic system, participating in hematopoiesis
and mineral homeostasis. Disturbances from both aspects produce changes that are manifested on the alveolar bone radiograms. Resorbed bone areas have been observed with hyperthyroidism,
hyperparathyroidism, Paget's disease, chronic anemia, vitamin D resistant rickets, primary and metastatic tumors o f the jaws, etc. Pathologic sclerozation o f the alveolar bone may occur consequentially to osteopetrosis, chronic sclerosing osteomyelitis, odontogenic tumors and osteomas.
