Dental Alveolus

Dental alveolus **What is a dental alveolus?** ** The dental alveolus (from Latin alveo - hollow and lus - hole, also called dental alveus) is an anatomical structure that is a notch in the jaw bone for the placement and attachment of teeth. In this context, we are talking about molars, which are the largest and strongest teeth in the mouth. These teeth are located in the back rows of the jawbone and are used for chewing and grinding hard food. Each tooth consists of two parts - enamel and dentin, inside of which there is a dentinal cavity. Dentinal tubules are filled with a strong and elastic substance - dentin, and dentin itself is penetrated by a system of capillaries through which blood passes. Between the enamel and the tooth root is a tough, spongy bone called the dental axis or labilium, which provides structural support to the root canals of the tooth. This bony structure helps maintain the proper anatomy of the molar teeth and their healthy growth above the dental abutments.
