The alveolar process in the upper and lower jaw plays a vital role in housing, supporting, and protecting teeth. It anchors tooth roots, facilitates tooth movement for proper occlusion, absorbs and distributes occlusal forces, supplies vessels to the periodontal ligament, and aids in tooth eruption.

The alveolar process in the upper and lower jaw is responsible for housing the roots of teeth, supporting tooth eruption, providing attachment for facial muscles, and aiding in mastication. During fetal development, the alveolar process forms and separates tooth germs, leading to the differentiation

Inflammatory diseases of bone encompass conditions like osteitis, osteomyelitis, periostitis, and alveolar osteitis (dry socket). Osteitis is localized and may be associated with infected sockets, while osteomyelitis involves the interior of the bone. Alveolar osteitis commonly follows tooth extract

In a 45-year-old male with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and acute hypoxemic respiratory failure, diffuse bilateral alveolar infiltrates with air bronchograms were noted, including right mainstem intubation. Correct positioning and management steps for endotracheal tube placement were discussed. Ad

Drugs can impact lactation and breast milk, affecting the health of both the mother and her baby. Factors such as drug passage into milk, effects on milk production, and drug safety during lactation need to be considered. The permeability of breast alveolar cells can vary, influencing drug transfer

Mammalian teeth consist of hard tissues (enamel, dentine, cementum) and soft tissue (tooth pulp). The enamel is the hardest, dentine surrounds the pulp cavity, and cementum covers the dentine and connects to the alveolar bone. Tooth pulp provides support, nourishment, and defense mechanisms. Support

Place of articulation in phonetics refers to the location where speech sounds are obstructed. There are 8 types of place of articulation, including bilabial, labio-dental, dentals, alveolar, palato-alveolar, palatal, velar, and glottis. Each type is characterized by the specific articulatory positio

Tooth movement can be categorized as physiologic, pathologic, or orthodontic, with forces transmitted through the tooth to the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone. Changes occurring due to light and heavy forces result in bone resorption and deposition, impacting the supporting structures. Histol
