Question 20

A specialized periosteum which forms and resorbs bone is called:

Answer 20

periodontal ligament

Question 27

Which of the following tissues of the normal periodontium is the alveolar bone directly adjacent to?

Answer 27

periodontal ligament and gingival connective tissue

Question 28

Alveolar bone is the most stable of all periodontal tissues. Pressures used in orthodontic treatment encourage bone to be stable.
