The most common bone disease is?

There are quite a few disease that can affect the bones in your body. I will name the top 3. They are Osteoporosis, Osteogenesis imperfecta, and Paget's disease. A short description of the three are listed below:1.) Osteporosis, is the most commonly known one, this affects people of all ages, but is common in older women. Osteoporosis, as defined by Google Health, is the thinning of bone tissue and loss of bone density, or when the bone simply just gets too old and the body fails to produce enough new bone. 2.) Osteogenesis imperfecta is a condition that causes extremely fragile bones. This disease is known an congenital, meaning it occurs at birth.3.) Paget's Disease is a chronic bone condition that is characterized by disorder of the normal bone remodeling process. This disease is most common in older adults. Paget's Disease is rarely found in children, mainly just adults. Bone diseases may come in different names. But basically, all of it involves the break down or weakening of the bone tissues in the body. there is basically, many bones.The diseases of bones are:Rickets,Osteoporosis,Scolios,Arthritis and Bone Infections.osteoporosis, cancer, osteogenisis imperfecta, Paget's disease, Rickets, osteonecrosis.Heres some of umBone cystBone spur (Osteophytes)Bone tumorCraniosynostosisFibrodysplasia ossificans progressivaFibrous dysplasiaGiant cell tumor of boneHypophosphatasiaKlippel-Feil syndromeMetabolic Bone DiseaseOsteitis deformans (or Paget's disease of bone)Osteitis fibrosa cystica (or Osteitis fibrosa, or Von Recklinghausen's disease of bone)Osteitis pubisCondensing osteitis (or Osteitis condensans)Osteitis condensans iliiOsteochondritis dissecansOsteochondroma (Bone Tumor)Osteogenesis ImperfectaOsteomalaciaOsteomyelitisOsteopeniaOsteopetrosisOsteoporosisOsteosarcoma (Bone Tumor)Porotic hyperostosisPrimary hyperparathyroidismRenal Osteodystrophy


What are some of the diseases that can effect the bones?

Some bone diseases are Bone Cancer, Fibroma, Paget's Disease, Myeloma and Osteoporosis,


Is there anything you can do to reduce the risk of bone disease?

Bone diseases happen when a person has poor nutrition. Supplements can help prevent bone disease. Some bone diseases are genetic. Drinking plenty of milk is also a great idea.


What is Paget's disease of bone?

Paget's disease is a chronic bone condition. In bone affected by Paget's disease, the bone remodeling is disturbed and not made right. In result the bone is formed abnormal. Pagets dieses happens to adults because their bones are older. This happens to about 1 % of adults. Scientist have not found out what causes pagets dieses. The symprtoms are arthritis Paget's disease commonly causes no symptoms. But some people have abnormally large bones which pinch their nerves causing tingling and numbness. The way pagets is treated is with a pain reliving medicine.

What causes bone disease?

Aids.ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:Degenerative Bone Disease:Saying the Degenerative Bone Disease IS Osteoporosis is a misnomer, and NOT entirely correct. It would be better to say that Osteoporosis is one of the most common causes of degenerative bone disease; but DBD can be the result of several disorders/diseases that affects the bones. In addition to Osteoporosis, which can cause serious fractures; there are other diseases/disorders that can lead to bone degeneration, even cartilage loss - Vitamin D deficiency; chronic Kidney disease and Renal disease; Parathyroid disease; sever calcium deficiency; bone injuries; Spinal Spondylosis; Menopause; medications (some prescriptions can harm the bones); Jaw DBD either or both the mandible or maxilla (the following jaw disorders/disease can progress into DBD, Periodontal disease, cancer, tooth extractions spreading infection to the bone, an abbess infection spreading to the bone, jaw deformities, Osteonecrosis, and injury…); Obesity (can cause poor bone health which can lead to DBD); Paget 's disease (can lead to DBD, even bone cancer)… Bones are made up of healthy living cells which break down old bone tissues, thereby building new marrow and bone cells (Osteoclasts and Osteoblasts). When these cells can NO longer do the job that they are meant to do the bones can break down and weaken.Degenerative Bone Disease (DBD) is often confused with Degenerative Joint Disease (DJD):Degenerative bone disease not only causes damage to the bone, it can involve the joint. If the joint is involved, it can also cause deterioration to a joint's cartilage. Cartilage damage with DBD is secondary to its bone damage, because it is a disease of the bone that is primary. It is DBDs effect upon the bone that adds to the destruction of the cartilage. Once the cartilage is gone, it allows the two ends of the bone joint to rub together, thereby adding more corrosion of the weakened bone. The damage caused to the bone can become much more extensive once the cartilage of the joint is gone.Below are two types of Degenerative Joint Disease:Osteoarthritis - (This can add to DBD, but it is NOT the cause of it; it is Degenerative Joint Disease - DJD.)Rheumatoid Arthritis- (As with Osteoarthritis, this is degenerative joint disease - in overdrive! It causes serious inflammation in the joint and the surrounding tissues; this is what causes the extensive damage that is seen with this disease. RA causes serious deformities to the joint its connecting bone, as the bone and cartilage erodes. Rheumatoid Arthritis can add to DBD; it is NOT the cause it.)

What are some diseases caused by the bone cell?

Some diseases caused by bone cells include osteoporosis (bone density loss), osteogenesis imperfecta (brittle bones), and Paget's disease (abnormal bone remodeling). These conditions can lead to increased fractures, deformities, and pain in affected individuals.


What are some gum disease treatment options?

If you have gum disease some of the possible treatments for you can be professional dental cleaning, scaling and root planning (which is basically a deeper cleaning), or you can go surgical with the bone grafts.
