The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the OMF alterations presented by patients affected by bone pathology with respect to a healthy population from the same geographical environment.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Material &amp; methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>A cross-sectional study was carried out at Mount Meru Regional Referral Hospital and Kaloleni secondary school in Arusha, Tanzania. The patients with bone pathologies (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200960) were consecutively recruited from the hospital, while the controls (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009581) comprised a population of healthy students from the school, which was located in the same neighbourhood as the hospital. In the case group, the different bone pathologies were divided into two subgroups: (i) disorders in cellular metabolism (DCM); and (ii) disorders of bone growth\/deformity (DGD). Musculoskeletal and oral clinical examinations were performed in both groups.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The case group presented significantly higher values of moderate and severe inflammation on the L\u00f6e &amp; Silness Gingival Index (GI 2: 65%, GI 3: 25%) than the control group (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001), where mild inflammation predominated (GI 1: 88%). The case group also had higher scores for decayed, missing and filled teeth. Dental fluorosis was reported in 75.2% of controls and in only 26.6% of cases, the differences being clearly significant (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Significant differences for fluorosis were also reported between the two subgroups (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001), with a higher incidence for the DCM subgroup (43.8%). Twenty-two patients (36.7%) in the case group displayed clinical absence of teeth: the rate was significantly higher in the DGD subgroup (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200915, 50%) than in the DCM subgroup (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20098, 25%) (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.045). In relation to the type of dental occlusion, the group with bone pathology presented a significant predominance of Angle class II - III malocclusions (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Craniofacial abnormalities were more frequent in the DGD subgroup, although the difference was not significant. The spine was normal in 41 patients (68.3%) and the differences between subgroups were not significant. Pathological fractures were significantly more frequent in the DGD subgroup (50% vs. 6.3%; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Assessing whether there was a relationship between malocclusion and skeletal deformities (spine and upper limb) in the case group, subjects with upper limb deformity (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200916) presented significant differences for inverted overjet (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.031).<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Patients with bone disease had worse oral health and more severe dental malocclusion than controls.
