Sinus develops to relieve pressure, exposure of pulp cavity. Natural result of chewing stress, evidence of tooth wear. Destruction of tooth by acids usually starting at the incisal or occlusal surfaces. Tooth loss, osteopenia, vertebral compression fractures, rib fractures. Severe bowing deformity, generalized osteopenia, new bone formation. Reduced bone mass relative to what might be expected. Abnormalities in the amount and architectural arrangement of bone tissue. Erosion and no evidence of new bone formation. Bony calcification of ligament areas where they attach to your spine.
