What is alveolar ridge in Yoruba?
Alveolar ridge in Yoruba can be translated as "ilẹ̀ iigboori."
What is the ridge in your mouth behind the teeth?
It is called the alveolar ridge. =)
What is the ridge of teeth around the outside of the upper jaw?
The ridge of teeth around the outside of the upper jaw is known as the alveolar ridge. It is the bony arch that contains the sockets for the upper teeth, providing support and stability. This ridge plays a crucial role in dental health and function, as it helps anchor the teeth in place. Additionally, the alveolar ridge is important for speech and chewing.
What is an alveoloplasty?
An alveoloplasty is the surgical modification of the alveolar ridges in preparation for the fitting of dentures.
What is an alveolar bone?
The alveolar bone is a part of the jawbone that surrounds and supports the teeth. It is a specialized type of bone that forms the sockets in which the teeth are anchored. The health of the alveolar bone is essential for the stability and proper function of the teeth.

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.
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 are the role of aveolar ridge in speech production and its examples?
The alveolar ridge plays a crucial role in speech production by creating a contact point for the tongue to produce various consonant sounds. Examples of sounds that utilize the alveolar ridge include /t/, /d/, /s/, and /z/. The ridge helps in creating the necessary airflow obstruction to produce these sounds accurately.
What is an acrodont?
An acrodont is a member of a group of lizards who have their teeth immovably united to the top of the alveolar ridge.
What sound does ''R'' make?
The sound of the letter "R" is typically a voiced alveolar trill or tap, produced by vibrating the tip of the tongue against the alveolar ridge in the mouth.
