Periodontal ligament
What else can I help you with?
Attaches the tooth to bone and surrounding alveolar strutures?
Ligaments.
In dentistry What is tooth-supporting tissue?
The periodontium: alveolar bone and the periodontal structures
What material attaches the periodontal membrane to the tooth?
The periodontal ligament attaches the tooth to the surrounding alveolar bone. This ligament is a fibrous connective tissue that helps support the tooth and allows for slight movement during chewing or other forces applied to the tooth.
What is aveoloplasty surgery?
Aveoloplasty is a surgical procedure for recontouring alveolar (referring to the bone to which a tooth is attached) structures, sometimes in preparation for a prosthesis.
Cementum?
provides a means for attachment of tooth to alveolar bone
What attaches tooth to the bone?
cartilage
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 attaches the tooth to the periodontal membrane?
cementum
What is the bone socket for tooth?
A periodontal ligament surrounds the cementum. This ligament contains vessels and nerves as well as bundles of think collagenous fibers which pass between the cementum and the bone of the alveolar process, firmly attaching the tooth to the jaw.
Which tooth innervated by two alveolar nerves?
The first molar is usually innervated by two alveolar nerves: the superior alveolar nerves from the maxillary division of the trigeminal nerve.
What is the medical definition for alveolar?
Of tooth-socket - pronounced with tongue at the tip of teeth. (OED)
What are tooth sockets lined with?
The alveolar process (alveolar bone) is the thickened ridge of bone that contains the tooth sockets (dental alveoli) on bones that hold teeth. In humans, the tooth-bearing bones are the maxillae and the mandible.[3]
