alveolar process
The alveolar process is the jawbone's thickened ridge containing the tooth sockets (dental alveoli) on the jaws. It helps to hold and support the teeth in both the upper (maxilla) and lower (mandible) jaws. In general, it is involved in the processes of mastication and speech. Loss or damage to this bone can occur due to chronic periodontitis, dental extraction or diseases and might affect ability to retain dental implants or prostheses.
U.S. National Library of Medicine
Alveolar Process
The thickest and spongiest part of the maxilla and mandible hollowed out into deep cavities for the teeth.
