What is tooth-ridge?
The tooth ridge, often referred to as the alveolar ridge, is the bony structure in the jaw that holds the roots of the teeth. It consists of the upper and lower jawbones and is covered by gum tissue. The alveolar ridge plays a crucial role in dental health, as it supports the teeth and helps maintain the shape of the mouth. Loss of teeth can lead to resorption of the ridge, affecting both function and aesthetics.
What is the definition of rugae?
Ruggae are the prominent ridges on the palate (roof of the mouth) directly behind the upper front teeth.
How many teeth dose a turtle have?

What is the alveolar ridge?
An alveolar ridge (/ælˈvi.ələr/; also known as the alveolar margin) is one of the two jaw ridges either on the roof of the mouth between the upper teeth and the hard palate or on the bottom of the mouth behind the lower teeth. The alveolar ridges contain the sockets (alveoli) of the teeth. They can be felt with the tongue in the area right above the top teeth or below the bottom teeth. Its surface is covered with little ridges. Sounds made with the tongue touching the alveolar ridge while speaking are called alveolar consonants. Examples of alveolar consonants in English are, for instance, [t], [d], [s], [z], [n], [l] like in the words time, dawn, silly, zoo, nasty and lollipop. There are exceptions to this however, such as speakers of the New York Accent who pronounce [t] and [d] at the back of their teeth. When pronouncing these sounds the tongue touches ([t], [d], [n]), or nearly touches ([s], [z]) the upper alveolar ridge which can also be referred to as gum ridge. In many other languages these same consonants are articulated slightly differently, and are often described as dental consonants. In many languages consonantsare articulated with the tongue touching or close to the upper alveolar ridge. The former are called alveolar plosives, and the latter alveolar fricatives.
