Tooth socket anatomy

How is a tooth held in its socket?
Periodontal ligament: The fibrous tissue between the tooth and the tooth socket.
It holds the tooth in place.
Pulp (nerve): The soft center of the tooth.
The pulp contains blood vessels and nerves; it nourishes the dentin..
What forms the tooth socket?
The alveolar bone is that part of the mandibular and maxillary bone which surrounds the teeth and forms the tooth sockets..
What holds teeth in their sockets?
Cementum: A layer of tough, yellowish, bone-like tissue that covers the root of the tooth.
It helps hold the tooth in the socket.
The cementum attaches the tooth to the bone by a network of fibers known as the periodontal ligament..
What is a socket on a tooth?
The socket is the hole in the bone where the tooth used to be.
After a tooth is removed, a blood clot forms in the socket.
This protects the bone and nerves underneath as it heals..
What is the socket in teeth?
The socket is the hole in the bone where the tooth used to be.
After a tooth is removed, a blood clot forms in the socket.
This protects the bone and nerves underneath as it heals..
What is the structure of the socket of the teeth?
Each tooth sets in a bony crypt, or socket.
That portion of the maxilla and mandible that forms the sockets of the teeth is termed the alveolar process and is made up of cancellous bone enclosed within cortical plates.
The alveolar bone is covered by specialized oral mucosa known as gingiva, or, more commonly, gums..
Dental alveoli are the bony sockets of the jaws in which the roots of teeth are held ( or implanted) in the alveolar process of maxilla with the periodontal ligament.
The alveolar process is the lining of the tooth's socket and referred to as the alveolus.
Although the alveolar process is made up of compact bone, it may also be called the cribriform plate as it contains various holes where Volkmann canals pass from the alveolar bone and into the PDL.

Alveolus dentalis Dental alveolus (tooth sockets) are sockets in the jaws in which the roots of teeth are held in the alveolar process of maxilla with the periodontal ligament. A joint that connects the roots of the teeth and the alveolus is called gomphosis.

What is the bone of a tooth socket?

The bone of the tooth socket is a dense cortical plate into which the principal fibers of the periodontal ligament are inserted, referred to as Sharpey’s fibers

As noted above, this dense “Bundle Bone” is penetrated by many vascular channels which communicate between the trabecular bone and the PDL

What is the structure of a tooth?

A tooth (Figure 129

1) consists of a The crown is covered with enamel, and the root is covered with cementum

The bulk of the tooth is composed of A cross section of a tooth reveals a pulp chamber in the crown and a pulp canal in the root

These communicate with each other

Together they form the pulp cavity that houses the pulp tissue

Which part of the maxilla & mandible forms the sockets of teeth?

That portion of the maxilla and mandible that forms the sockets of the teeth is termed the alveolar process and is made up of cancellous bone enclosed within cortical plates

The alveolar bone is covered by specialized oral mucosa known as gingiva, or, more commonly, gums

The remainder of the oral cavity is covered with an oral mucous membrane

The alveolar bone is that part of the mandibular and maxillary bone which surrounds the teeth and forms the tooth sockets. The bone of the tooth socket is a dense cortical plate into which the principal fibers of the periodontal ligament are inserted, referred to as Sharpey’s fibers.
