The alveolar bone is that part of the mandibular and maxillary bone which surrounds the teeth and forms the tooth sockets. It provides an attachment site for the periodontal ligament and its associated tooth.ģ4.2.3 Alveolar Bone. The second type of bone is alveolar bone proper, which is the portion of bone that lines the tooth socket. If the teeth are lost, then the need for this process is lost and through time the process is resorbed. It provides structural support for the dentition. This bony structure forms to house the developing tooth buds and, once erupted, the roots of the teeth. The first is the alveolar process of the two jaws, the maxilla, and mandible. Alveolar bone actually consists of two components ( Fig.
Alveolar bone is formed by intramembranous bone formation during the formation of the mandible and maxilla.
