Atrophy is the wearing away of an organ or tissue because of lack of use. Bone Atrophy, obviously, is atrophy of bones.
Bone atrophy is a condition where bones lose mass and density, leading to weakening and increased risk of fractures. It can be caused by factors such as aging, lack of physical activity, hormonal changes, or medical conditions like osteoporosis. Treatment may include weight-bearing exercises, medication, and dietary changes to help prevent further bone loss.
When muscle and bone are not used, they become weaker. This is called atrophy.
osteoporosis
atrophy
No it is always reversible
if the muscle are not used they become weaker and smaller than normal size ,but this problem is reversible by more physical exercises until the muscles aren't damaged. but if the denervation or injury occur to the muscle the weakness could be persistent and atrophy may occur.
true
Douglas Atwood proposed the phrase "alveolar bone resorption" in 1971 to describe the marked atrophy of alveolar bone that occurs following tooth loss. This phenomenon highlights the loss of bone density and volume that can significantly impact oral health and the stability of remaining teeth. Atwood's work emphasized the importance of understanding this process in the context of dental treatment and rehabilitation.
Reduction in the quantity of bone or atrophy of skeletal tissue refers to a decrease in bone density or mass, leading to weaker bones that are more prone to fractures. This can be caused by factors such as aging, hormonal changes, lack of physical activity, or certain medical conditions like osteoporosis. Treatment may involve medications, lifestyle changes, and dietary supplements to help strengthen bones.
She has a muscular atrophy.
Means the teeth contact early. This will cause smelly breath periodontal problems that is atrophy to the bone and loss of teeth.
