    59487 52897, 59487. Anatomical terms of bone. [edit on Wikidata] The alveolar process (/ ælˈviːələr, ˌælviˈoʊlər, ˈælviələr /) [1] is the portion of bone containing the tooth sockets on the jaw bones (in humans, the maxilla and the mandible). The alveolar process is covered by gums within the mouth, terminating roughly along the ...

  3. Complete dentures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complete_dentures

    The mandibular (lower) jaw has significantly less surface area compared to the maxillary (upper) jaw; hence, retention of a lower prosthesis is greatly reduced. Consequently, mandibular overdentures are much more commonly prescribed than maxillary ones, where the palate often provides enough support for the plate.

  4. Dental anatomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_anatomy

    The maxillary second molar is the tooth located laterally from both the maxillary first molars of the mouth but mesially from both maxillary third molars. This is true only in permanent teeth. In deciduous teeth, the maxillary second molar is the last tooth in the mouth and does not have a third molar behind it.

  5. Dentures - Wikipedia

    Dentures can help people via: Mastication: chewing ability is improved by the replacement of edentulous (lacking teeth) areas with denture teeth.; Aesthetics: the presence of teeth gives a natural appearance to the face, and wearing a denture to replace missing teeth provides support for the lips and cheeks and corrects the collapsed appearance that results from the loss of teeth.

  6. Alveoloplasty - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alveoloplasty

    Alveoloplasty is a surgical pre-prosthetic procedure performed to facilitate removal of teeth, and smoothen or reshape the jawbone for prosthetic and cosmetic purposes. [1] In this procedure, the bony edges of the alveolar ridge and its surrounding structures is made smooth, redesigned or recontoured so that a well-fitting, comfortable, and ...

  7. Occlusion (dentistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occlusion_(dentistry)

    Occlusion, in a dental context, means simply the contact between teeth. More technically, it is the relationship between the maxillary (upper) and mandibular (lower) teeth when they approach each other, as occurs during chewing or at rest. Static occlusion refers to contact between teeth when the jaw is closed and stationary, while dynamic ...

  8. Dental arch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_arch

    The dental arches are the two arches (crescent arrangements) of teeth, one on each jaw, that together constitute the dentition.In humans and many other species, the superior (maxillary or upper) dental arch is a little larger than the inferior (mandibular or lower) arch, so that in the normal condition the teeth in the maxilla (upper jaw) slightly overlap those of the mandible (lower jaw) both ...

  9. Maxillary second molar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxillary_second_molar

    The maxillary second molar is the tooth located distally (away from the midline of the face) from both the maxillary first molars of the mouth but mesial (toward the midline of the face) from both maxillary third molars. This is true only in permanent teeth. In deciduous (baby) teeth, the maxillary second molar is the last tooth in the mouth ...
