  2. Alveolar process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alveolar_process

    The alveolar process is also called the alveolar bone or alveolar ridge. [3] In phonetics , the term refers more specifically to the ridges on the inside of the mouth which can be felt with the tongue , either on roof of the mouth between the upper teeth and the hard palate or on the bottom of the mouth behind the lower teeth.

  3. Place of articulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Place_of_articulation

    The regions are not strictly separated. For instance, in some sounds in many languages, the surface of the tongue contacts a relatively large area from the back of the upper teeth to the alveolar ridge, which is common enough to have received its own name, denti-alveolar. Likewise, the alveolar and post-alveolar regions merge into each other ...

  4. Dental alveolus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_alveolus

    Socket preservation or alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) [1] is a procedure to reduce bone loss after tooth extraction to preserve the dental alveolus (tooth socket) in the alveolar bone. A platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) [ 2 ] membrane containing bone growth enhancing elements can be stitched over the wound or a graft material or scaffold is placed ...

  5. Oral mucosa - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oral_mucosa

    Also the alveolar ridge (the gum where the teeth erupt up from, or if missing, where they used to be) and the hard palate (roof of the mouth). The most common are fibrous nodules called fibroepithelial polyps and epulides. Other hyperplastic reactive hyperplastic lesions include those associated with dentures, and papillomas.

  6. Alveolus - Wikipedia

    Alveolar gland; Dental alveolus, also known as "tooth socket", a socket in the jaw that holds the roots of teeth Alveolar ridge, the jaw structure that contains the dental alveoli; Alveolar canals; Alveolar process; Arteries: Superior alveolar artery (disambiguation) Anterior superior alveolar arteries; Posterior superior alveolar artery

  7. Voiced dental and alveolar taps and flaps - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiced_dental_and_alveolar...

    Features of the voiced alveolar tap or flap: Its manner of articulation is tap or flap, which means it is produced with a single contraction of the muscles so that the tongue makes very brief contact. Its place of articulation is dental or alveolar, which means it is articulated behind upper front teeth or at the alveolar ridge.

  8. Gingival cyst - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gingival_cyst

    Gingival (alveolar) cysts of infants are mostly found in groups, but are frequently found as single nodules. They are present on the alveolar ridges. They are formed from fragments of dental lamina that remains within the alveolar ridge mucosa during tooth formation ( odontogenesis ).

  9. Buccal exostosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buccal_exostosis

    A buccal exostosis is an exostosis (bone prominence) on the buccal surface (cheek side) of the alveolar ridge of the maxilla or mandible.More commonly seen in the maxilla than the mandible, buccal exostoses are considered to be site specific. [2]
