Alveolar Part of the Mandible

It is important to immediately note that the lower jaw does not have pairs. Thus, this is the distal (lower) section of the dentition, which is located under the chewing mass and covered with the tongue. That is, normally this area has almost anatomical access.

Lower jaw teeth (up to 4 units)

**Alveolar part of the mandible (APM)** is also called *masticatory part of the temporal bone* or *lower surface of the body of the mandible*. The part of the body is located inside the mouth, at the base of the tongue and under the teeth, where the masticatory apparatus capsule is located.

This section of the lower jaw provides attachment of the teeth to the bone. It consists of the cortical plate of the lower jaw, which is lined with spongy bone. The latter includes the compact substance of the alveoli - rounded cavities in which the roots of the teeth are located.

To the right and left of the middle vertical incision connecting the middle of the maxillary foramen with the place of attachment of the masticatory muscle to the body of the lower jaw through the periosteum (periosteum of the jaws), there are alveolus-like flat surfaces ***alveus* (from the Latin “alvaia”), or alveolites.** Their surface resembles small pits on the body of the jaw bone. At the junction with the alveus is the ***horizontally directed mastoid crest***, also called the base of the mandibular condyle. In humans, ALP can occur in fewer than four different forms. Most people have a ridge shape, which is a smoothly curved horizontal ridge. Extremely rare to see

The alveolar section of the lower jaw is one of the parts of the same section of the jaw bone. This section includes two large areas: the palatine and the alveolar proper, or mother. Actually, the mother's department contains a certain number of alveolar cells, which play a role
