How is a tooth attached to the bone of the jaw?
A tooth is attached to the bone of the jaw through the periodontal ligament. This ligament acts like a cushion, allowing the tooth to withstand the forces of biting and chewing. Additionally, the surrounding bone provides support and stability for the tooth.
Dense connective tissue is to a suture as a periodontal ligament is to a?
The periodontal ligament is to a tooth as the dense connective tissue is to a suture. The periodontal ligament attaches the tooth to the surrounding bone and acts as a shock absorber during chewing, similar to how dense connective tissue stabilizes and supports the sutures between skull bones.
Which tissue appears as a fine white line surrounding the root of the tooth of a dental human xray?
The tissue that appears as a fine white line surrounding the root of the tooth in a dental x-ray is known as the periodontal ligament. It helps to attach the tooth to the surrounding bone and provides support and stability to the tooth.
What holds the tooth in the jaw bone?
The mandible. Known to leymen as the lower jaw
Is the dental term Sharpe's or Sharpey's fibers?
The correct term is Sharpey's fibers. These fibers are collagenous fibers that anchor the periodontal ligament to the tooth root, providing structural support and stability to the tooth within the socket.
What attaches the tooth to the periodontal membrane?
cementum
What attaches the tooth to bone and surroundings alveolar structures?
Periodontal ligament
What is the membrane that anchors the tooth to the jaw?
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 fibrous connective tissue joining the tooth to the tooth socket?
The fibrous connective tissue joining the tooth to the tooth socket is the periodontal ligament.
What is a anchor tooth?
a periodontal ligament
What is the difference between periodontal and endodontic lesions?
periodontal is of the gum and endodontic is of the root of the tooth itselt
Peridontal disease is eliminated when all teeth extracted?
By definition, yes. Periodontal means "around the tooth." Periodontal disease is disease around the tooth. If there are no teeth, there can be no disease around the teeth.
Which of these tissues make up the periodontium?
The periodontium is made up of four main tissues: gingiva (gum tissue), alveolar bone (bone that surrounds and supports the teeth), cementum (outer layer of the tooth root), and periodontal ligament (connective tissue that attaches the tooth to the bone).
What is the primary function of the periodontal ligament?
to support, maintain and retain the tooth .
How do you read a periodontal chart?
In dentistry, a periodontal chart records the health of the gums. It measures the distance between the gum line and the point where the tooth is actually attached. There are six measurements taken for each tooth.
