bone |
osso |
 |
| 1. the material of the skeletons of most vertebrate animals; the tissue composing bones. 2. dense, hard, and slightly elastic connective tissue in which the fibers are impregnated with a form of calcium phosphate similar to hydroxyapatite. Bone tissue makes up the 206 bones of the human skeleton. 3. any single element of the skeleton such as a rib or femur |

atrophy, bone- |
atrofia dell' osso |
|
| bone resorption internally (in density) and externally (in form) (for example, of residual ridges). 2. a loss of bone substance or volume. Atrophy of bone ordinarily occurs without a corresponding change in the volume or external dimensions of bone, but the mass of bone tissue may be reduced by as much as 75%. The internal architecture of the bone gradually becomes attenuated and finally disappears. Atrophied bone is brittle and has a more spongy consistency than normal bone. In cross-section the cortex is thin, and the periosteal surface is smooth and unchanged, but the intramedullary substance is composed of a yellow, fatty, cancellous bone tissue. Bone atrophy may be systemic, regional, or local. |

bone chips |
frammenti d'osso |
|
| small pieces of cancellous bone generally used to fill in bony defects and precipitate recalcification. |

bone dystrophy |
distrofia ossea |
|
|
| |
| |
bone rarefaction |
rarefazione dell'osso |
|

bone rasp; bone grater; raspatory |
curetta ossea |
|
|
| |
| |
bone recession |
riassorbimento osseo |
|
| apical progression of the level of the alveolar crest associated with inflammatory and dystrophic periodontal disease; a bone resorption process that results in decreased osseous support for the tooth. |
| |
| |
bone resection |
resezione dell'osso |
|
|
| |
| |
bone resorption |
riassorbimento dell'osso |
|
| 1. destruction or solution of the elements of bone. 2. loss of bone resulting from the activity of multinucleated giant cells, the osteoclasts, which are noted in irregular concavities on the periphery of the bone (Howship's lacunae). |

| |
bone structure |
struttura ossea |
|
|
| |

bone, alveolar |
osso alveolare |

| |
bone, basal; bone, basilar |
osso basale |
|

| |
| |
bone, bundle- |
osso fibroso |
|
| the bone forming the immediate bone attachment of the numerous bundles of collagen fibers of the periodontal ligament that have been incorporated into the bone. |
| |
| |
bone, cancellous; spongiosa, spongy bone, supporting bone, trabecular bone |
osso spugnoso |
|
| the bone that forms a trabecular network, surrounds marrow spaces that may contain either fatty or hematopoietic tissue, lies subjacent to the cortical bone, and makes up the main portion of a bone. |
| |
| |
bone, compact |
osso compatto |
|
| hard, dense bone composing the outer cortical layer and consisting of a variety of periosteal bone, endosteal bone, and haversian systems. |
