The alveolar process is that part of the jaw
bones in which teeth are found
defined as the part of maxilla or mandible
that forms and supports the socket of the
teeth in which the teeth are anchored





Houses the roots of teeth
Anchors the roots of teeth to the alveoli, which is
achieved by the insertion of sharpey’s fibers into the
alveolar bone proper
It furnishes a media for attachment of periodontal
ligament
Supplies vessels to PDL
Helps to absorb and distribute occlusal forces
generated during tooth contact


Houses and protects developing permanent
teeth, while supporting primary teeth
Organises eruption of primary and permanent
teeth
For its development & maintenance
Morphology of Alv. Bone depends on
Size
Shape
position of teeth
If teeth are lost, Alv bone undergoes atrophy
If teeth congenitally missing – Alv. Bone not
developed

Two Parts:
Alveolar Bone proper:
Thin lamellated bone that surrounds the root of the
tooth
Gives attachment to the PDL Fibres
Supporting alveolar Bone:
Surrounds the alveolar bone Proper
Gives support to the socket
That lines the socket
Forms the inner wall
Thickness- 0.1 to 0.5mm
Two Parts:
Bundle bone
Lamellated bone
Lamellated Bone
Bundle bone
Cribriform plate
Lamina Dura
Immature bone
Undergoes continous remodelling
Tooth
PL
Histologic Name
Provides attachment to PDL fibres
Bundles of Principle fibres are inserted as- Sharpey’s
fibres
Anatomical name
Inner wall of the socket is perforated by
many openings- carry branches of the
interalveolar nerves and bld vessels nto PDL
Holes/canals – Volkman’s Canals
Radiologic name
Alv bone –appears as radiopaque line
Due to overlapping effect of X-Rays
Periodontal and periapical pathologies



In histological sections, the layer of cribriform
plate appears to stain more intensely
The bundle bone is the most important part
-tooth support
important structure in the radiographic
interpretation of periodontal and periapical
pathologies.
Two Parts
Cortical Bone/plate
Spongiosa
Compact bone
Forms inner &outer plates of
the alveolar process
Variations:
Maxilla –thinner
Mandible -Thicker
Premolar, Molar region –
Thicker
Anterior region -Thin
Buccal cortical plate – Thinner
Lingual Cortical plate -Thick
Relation to Local anaesthesia
 maxilla
perforated by many
openings
Infiltration is sufficient
 Mandible
 Dense cortical plate
Nerve Blocks required




The cortical plate consists of surface layers of
lamellar bone supported by compact Haversian
system
The outer surfaces of these cortical plates are
covered by periosteum
different types of lamellae - circumferential,
concentric and interstitial lamellae
The cortical plates are continuous with the
compact bones of the maxilla and mandibular
body


The cortical plates are continuous with the
compact bones of the maxilla and mandibular
body. The cortical plate and the alveolar bone
proper meet at the alveolar crest
located usually 1.5 to 2mm below the level
of cemento-enamel junction of the tooth.




Fills the area between the cortical plates and the
alveolar bone proper
cancellous bone
It is composed of irregular interlacing bony
trabeculae, each consisting of one or more
lamellae with osteocytes enclosed in lacunae
The inter trabecular spaces - filled with yellow
marrow rich in adipose cells or sometimes red
or haemopoietic marrow
Type I
Trabeculae –
Regular
Horizontal
Thick
Ladderlike
Mandible
Trajectorial pattern
Along lines of stress
Type II
Irregular
Fine/Delicate
No specific arrangement
thin
Maxila
No trajectory pattern’\,More
marrow space
Zuckerkandl &Herschfeld
Interdental &Interradicular septum
Contain –BV, lymph vessels and
nerves
Appear as radioluscent linera
shadows
Parallel to long axis of tooth




2nd month of fetal life, the maxilla and mandible
forms a groove that is open toward the surface of
the oral cavity
Alveolar bone is formed during fetal growth by
intramembraneous ossification
As the developing tooth germs reach the bell
stage, developing bone becomes closely related
to the tooth germ to form the alveolus
The size of the alveolus - the size of the
growing tooth germ



Resorption - inner wall of the alveolus
Deposition - outer wall
the teeth become separated from each other
by development of inter dental septa
the onset of root formation- interradicular
bone develops in multi rooted teeth

Bone is mineralized connective tissue

By weight
60% inorganic material,
25% organic material
15% water

By volume
36% of bone is composed of inorganic material,
36% organic material
28% water

Inorganic component - carbonated, hydroxyl apatite small plates


Organic matrix – (90%)collagen &(10%)Non collagenous
proteins
collagen -type I collagen, type III and type V collagen
osteoblasts
Non collagenous proteins- proteoglycans
glycoproteins(osteocalcin,
osteonectin,osteopontin,alopsolein, thrombopondin and
fibronectin )


All bones have dense outer sheet of compact bone &
central medullary cavity.
Medullary cavity – Red or yellow bone marrow &
network of bone trabaculae.
Compact bone has 2 surfaces:
a) Periosteum(outer aspect): Fibrocollagen layer, which is
divided into 2 layers
Outer - irregular connective tissue, fibrous layer
Inner - consist of bone cells, their precursor and rich
vascular supply.

b) Endosteum – inner surface covered by a thin
cellular layer present in both compact & cancellous
bone.





histologically, both the compact and the
trabecular bone consists of lamellae
Three types of lamellae :
circumferential
concentric
interstitial lamellae





In spongy bone the lamellae are apposed to
each other to form trabeculae
The trabeculae - 50 microns thick
aligned along the lines of stress to withstand
the force applied to the bone
In young bone the marrow - red
In old bone, the marrow - yellow
a.Ostegenenic cells
derived - mesenchymal(ectomesenchymal) stem cells,
osteoprogenitors, preosteoblasts, osteoblasts and
osteocytes
form and maintain the bone
b.Osteoclasts
resorb bone
derived _ monocytes
macrophages
form part of hematopoietic system




Bone forming cells & are found on the outer
surface of the bone
Produce organic matrix of bone(osteoid)
The matrix is deposited around the cell
bodies
Periosteum serves as an important reservoir
of osteoblasts







mononucleated cells
mesenchymal origin
a layer of cuboidal cells on the surface of bone bone formation is taking place
a prominent, round nucleus located at the basal
end & cytoplasm contain rich synthetic
organelles
synthetic cells of the bone
secretion of the organic matrix of bone i.e.
osteoid and also in process of mineralization of
matrix
controlling influence in activating osteoclasts
OSTEOBLASTS

Formation of new bone

Regulation & control of bone remodeling

Regulation & control of mineral metabolism

Important role in mineralization of osteoid

Once osteoblasts have completed their function, they
are either entrapped in bone matrix & become
osteocytes or remain on the surface as lining cells

surfaces of the adult skeleton

contain only few cell organelles

They are regarded as post proliferative osteoblasts

protect the bone from resorptive activity of
osteoclasts

They can be reactivated to form osteoblasts




Entrapped osteoblasts cells
Usually about 15% of osteoblasts become
embedded in the organic matrix as
osteocytes
Approximately 25,000 osteocytes can be
seen per cubic mm of bone
Woven bone show more osteocytes than
lamellar bone




Osteocytes are present within the lacunae
Narrow extensions of these lacunae form
channels – canaliculi
Osteocytic processes are present within these
canaliculi
Through this canaliculae, osteocytes maintain
contact with adjacent osteocytes, osteoblasts
and lining cells


Osteocytes are regarded as the main
mechanoreceptors of bone
Osteocytes are thought to be capable of
taking part in bone resorption -osteocytic
osteolysis
OSTEOCYTES
Osteoclast
Cells that resorb bone by removing the
mineralized matrix of bone
Multinucleated cells (10-20) , can be
mononucleated
Origin: Circulating monocytes or macrophage
easily seen under light microscope
The cell body is irregularly oval and may show
many branching processes.
Location: Howships lacunae
the size -100microns in diameter
Location: Howships lacunae
Arrangement –usually in clusters
Content: Abundant golgi, mitochondria,
lysosomes but little RER.
Acid phosphatase
Function – resorb bone

The life span of osteoclasts is thought to be
about 10-14 days



The cell membrane of the osteoclast that lies
adjacent to resorbing bone surface - number of deep
folds that form the ruffled -large surface area for the
resorptive process
The cytoplasm adjacent to the ruffled border is
devoid of cell organelle but contains numerous
contractile actin microfilaments -clear zone
clear zone or sealing zone serve to attach the cell
very closely to the surface of bone and create a
microenvironment in which resorption can take place
without diffusion of the hydrolytic enzymes produced
by the cell into adjacent tissue.

Osteoprotegerin
Estrogen
Vitamin D3 & parathyroid hormone
Calcitonin
TNF-β & interferon-γ
Osteoclast inhibitory lectin
biophosphonates


Initially, the mineral phase is removed and
later the organic matrix
A sealed acidic microenvironment is created
in the resorption lacunae which dissolves the
mineral crystals in bone and exposes the
organic matrix

The process by which the over all size and shape of bone
is established -bone remodeling

Extends from embryonic bone development to the
preadult period of human growth

Bone is laid down rhythmically; there are periods of active
deposition and quiescence which result in formation of
regular parallel incremental lines, called resting lines

The resting lines are formed in periods of relative
quiescence (rest period)

Simultaneous with bone deposition bone is resorbed along
the endosteal surface at focal points



During the growing phase of a child- bone
deposition & resorption - increase in bone mass
During adult phase- the amount of bone
deposition
bone resorption - bone mass is
more or less constant
In old age and in diseases like osteoporosis
bone deposition is generally less when compared
to resorption therefore there is an overall
decrease in bone mass





The replacement of old bone, by new bone bone turn over
In rapidly growing children bone turn over 30-100%.
The rate of bone turn over decreases in
adults
The rate of cortical bone turn over- 5% per
year
trabecular bone and endosteal surface of
cortical bone - 15% per year


The old and new bone is separated by a
distinct curved hematoxiphilic line with its
convexity facing the old bone. These lines are
called - reversal lines
indicators of continuous remodeling of bone





As age advances alv.bone facing PDL
becomes irregular
Osteoporotic changes
Decreased metabolic rate, vascularity, healing
capacity
Cancellous bone becomes dense with coarse
trabecular pattern
Teeth are lost- undergoes gradual atrophy
