The root ot a tooth is attached to an alevouls (socket in the jaw bone) as follows:
Dentin (from the tooth) attaches to a substance called cementum; cementum attaches to a periodontal ligament; the ligament attaches to the jaw bone
The mandible. Known to leymen as the lower jaw
The mandible, or the jaw bone.
The bone in your jaw is called the mandible. It is the largest and strongest bone in the human face, and it plays a crucial role in chewing, speaking, and facial structure. The mandible is connected to the skull at the temporomandibular joint, allowing for movement of the jaw.
The mandible, also known as the lower jaw bone, is the only moveable bone in the face. It is unique in that it can move up and down, as well as side to side, enabling actions such as chewing and speaking.
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) attaches the jaw bone to the skull. It facilitates jaw movement, such as opening and closing the mouth, chewing, and speaking. In addition, muscles, ligaments, and tendons also play a role in connecting the jaw to surrounding structures.

The mandible is located on your skull. It is attached to your skull. It is called your JAW.
The mandible, or the jaw bone.
The "membrane that links a tooth the the bone of the jaw is called periodontal ligament. It is made of fibrous tissue arranged in groups of collagen fibres.
The infection can dissolve jaw bone.
hello, the short answer is yes. Depending on how it was extracted and the stability of the jaw it can happen. I am a vet tech and I have seen it happen. When the state of the jaw is questioanble ( such as with cancer of the bone of the jaw) no tooth should ever be "pulled" it should always be drilled out.
The actual term is "soft tissue impaction." This refers to how deep the tooth lies in the jaw. A soft tissue impaction means that the tooth lies just beneath the gum tissue and no bone will have to removed to extract the tooth. In contrast, a "partial boney impaction" means most of the tooth still lies within the jaw bone and some bone will be removed during the extraction. A "full boney impaction" means the entire tooth resides within the jaw bone and more bone will have to be removed to access and extract the tooth. A soft tissue impaction is usually the least involved and least expensive extraction of the three.
The mandible, also known as the jaw bone, is the only movable bone in the facial skeleton. It is attached to the skull by the temporomandibular joint, allowing for movements such as chewing and speaking.
