OSTEOPOROSISCharacterized by low bone mass and structural
deterioration
VISIT US: DENTALTUTOR.IN
Normal homeostatic bone remodeling is altered – the rate of bone resorption is greater than the rate of bone formation.
OSTEOPOROSISChronic, progressive metabolic bone disease characterized by
Porous bone ___ ____ ____ Structural deterioration of bone tissue Increased bone fragility

OSTEOPOROSIS
Eight times more common in women than men for several reasons
1. Lower calcium intake than men2. Less bone mass because of smaller frame3. Bone resorption begins earlier and
accelerates after menopause4. Pregnancy and breastfeeding deplete
woman’s skeletal reserve of calcium5. Longevity increases likelihood of
osteoporosis; women live longer than men

ETIOLOGY
Risk factors (non-modifiable) Female gender Increasing age Family history White or Asian ethnicity Small stature Early menopause
VISIT US: DENTALTUTOR.IN
ETIOLOGY
Risk factors (cont’d) Excess alcohol intake Cigarette smoking Anorexia Oophorectomy Sedentary lifestyle Insufficient calcium intake Low testosterone levels (hypogonadism in men)
VISIT US: DENTALTUTOR.IN
ETIOLOGY AND PATHOPHYSIOLOGYPeak bone mass is achieved before age 20
Bone loss after midlife is inevitable but rate of loss is variable Bone resorption exceeds bone deposition Bones become weakened and prone to fracture, loss of height, and kyphosis.

DRUG TREATMENT OF OSTEOPOROSISEstrogen Replacement Therapy
Calcium & Vitamin D supplementsCalcitoninBiphosphonates (Fosamax, Didronel, Actonel, Boniva, Aredia, Bonefos, Skelid)Selective Estrogen receptor modulator – EvistaTeriparatide (Forteo)
Portion of parathyroid hormoneFirst drug to stimulate new bone formation

MEDICATIONS USED IN TREATMENT OF OSTEOPOROSISHormone Replacement Therapy – Estrogen Controversy over use. Should discuss with health care
provider
CalciumThere are a variety of calcium supplements available (See Table 64-16, p. 1689).
They should be taken with _______ _ to aid in absorption. Also if taking large doses i.e. 1000 mg. / day – take in divided doses of 500mg BID for better absorption

MEDICATIONS USED IN TREATMENT OF OSTEOPOROSISCalcitonin
If calcitonin inhibits bone resorption by opposing the effects of parathyroid hormone, how does that affect serum calcium levels?
What is needed to counter that effect?

MEDICATIONS USED IN TREATMENT OF OSTEOPOROSISBisphosphenates – (Fosamax) Inhibit osteoclast-mediated bone resorption thereby
increasing BMD and total bone mass. Side effects – anorexia, weight loss, gastritis Patient Teaching

MEDICATIONS USED IN TREATMENT OF OSTEOPOROSISSelective Estrogen Receptor
Modulators Mimic effect of estrogen on bone by reducing bone resorption without
stimulating the breasts or uterus.
Side effects

OSTEOMALACIADecalcification and softening of the bone
Caused mainly by: vitamin D deficiency **Vitamin D is required for the absorption of calcium from the intestine and calcium is responsible for mineralization of bone
Etiology Lack of exposure to __________ ____ GI malabsorption, extensive burns, chronic diarrhea, pregnancy, drugs such as Dilantin.

PAGET’S DISEASEExcessive bone resorption followed by replacement of normal marrow by vascular, fibrous connective tissue. The new bone is ______, ____________,
___ ______Most often affect the pelvis, long bones, spine,ribs, sternum, and cranium

CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONSIn milder form, noneCommon early symptom--FatigueWaddling gaitLoss of heightIncreased head size

COMPLICATIONS
Pathological fractures (may be a first sign of disease)
Bone tumors

PAGET’S DISEASEDiagnosis
Elevated serum alkaline phosphatase
X-ray will show increase in bone size
Bone scan shows increased uptake in affected bones

DRUG TREATMENT FOR PAGET’SDrug Therapy
Calcitonin-salmon (Miacalcin)Bone is in a constant state of remodeling, whereby old bone is removed by osteoclasts, and new bone is laid down by osteoblasts. Calcitonin inhibits bone removal by osteoclasts, and promotes bone formation by osteoblasts.
NSAIDSBisphosphonates

Other treatments and Nursing Care
Back support by firm mattress Teaching about use of splints or braces to support bones and joints
and help prevent weakened bones - skin care, circulation, etc. Teach how to correctly use canes or walkers Physical therapy Diet high in…what?
