periodontium II - alveolar process Flashcards
3 steps of ortho
- Compression and Tension of the PDL
- Inflammation and lag period:
- Tooth movement phase: Bone resorption and Bone deposition
T/F: facial bones DO NOT follow growth of body
FALSE. they do!
when is the peak rate of facial skeleton growth
14-18
T/F
Mandible and maxilla grow simultaneously but stop differentially
true!
what are the 2 regions of the jaw bone
basal bone and alveolar process
body of the mandible or maxilla is called
basal bone
portion of jaw that contains the tooth:
o requires the presence of the tooth and masticatory force to maintain bone density, height, thickness
o Atrophy with loss of tooth
alveolar process
what are the 2 regions of the alveolar process
supportive region and alveolar bone proper (ABP)
what is found in the supportive region of the alveolar process
outer cortical plate and cancellous (central)
T/F: F is thinner than L
true!
where can we find the THICKEST cortical bone in jaw
POST and L on MAND
does max or mand have THINNER cortical bone
MAX has thinner!
what is the ABP
tooth socket that surrounds tooth
what is the ABP comprised of
compact bone
what is the ABP also called
lamina dura (radiograph); bundle bone, or cribriform
