  1. tooth socket

    Dental alveoli (singular alveolus) are sockets in the jaws in which the roots of teeth are held in the alveolar process with the periodontal ligament. The lay term for dental alveoli is tooth sockets. A joint that connects the roots of the teeth and the alveolus is called gomphosis (plural gomphoses). Alveolar bone is the bone that surrounds the roots of the teeth forming bone sockets. In mammals, tooth sockets are found in the maxilla, the premaxilla, and the mandible.

  1. tooth socket

    A tooth socket, also known as the dental alveolus, is a hole or cavity in the jawbone where the root of a tooth is held and anchored in place. It houses the root structures of the tooth, including the dentin, cementum, and blood vessels that keep the tooth alive and healthy. Each dental alveolus is lined with a periodontal membrane that helps to cushion the tooth in its socket.
