Alveolar bone houses the roots of teeth and helps distribute occlusal forces. It has both cortical and spongy components and undergoes remodeling through the coupled processes of bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts. This maintains bone mass and replaces bone during tooth movement or repair. Osteoclasts resorb bone while osteoblasts form new bone matrix that becomes mineralized. This balanced process is regulated by local functional factors and systemic factors like PTH, calcitonin, and vitamins.

• The height and thickness of the facial and
lingual bony plates are affected by the -
• alignment of the teeth
• angulation of the root to the bone
• occlusal forces

It makes up the body of skeleton and is one of the hardest structures of the body.
It possess certain degree of toughness and elasticity.
Compact bone also c/a cortical bone ,contains tightly packed osteons or haversian sytsems,also c/a lamellar bone as bone mass arranged in layers.
Spongy bone has honey comb lyk struc.large marrow cavities.
woven bone fist formed bone, irregularly arranged collagen fibres.seen in alv bone and healing #
It consists of 4 principal components : gingiva, pdl ,cementum , and alveolar bone. All these components function as a single unit.
Gradually diminishes in height with loss of teeth.
Increased radiopacity due to presence of thick bone without trabeculations that the x rays must penetrate and not due to any increased mineral content .
Contains fewer fibrils in inter cellular sub than lamellated bone and hence appears dark in h&e stained sections .
Mostly seen in areas of recent bone apposition.
Lines of rest are also seen .
SURROUNDS THE alveolar bone proper and gives support to the socket.
CONSISTS of compact bone and form outer and inner plates of alv process.
Spongy bone fills the area btwn the cortical plates and alv bone proper.
in the max cortical bone is perforated by many small openings through which blood and lymph vessels pass.
Spongy bone is absent in anterior region and cortical bone is fused with alveolar bone proper.
TYPE I- INTERRADICULAR AND INTRDENTAL TRABECULAE ARE HORIZONTAL AND REGULAR IN STEP LADDER LIKE ARRANGEMENT. MOSTLY IN MANDIBLE.
TYPE II- IRREGULARLY ARRANGED,NUMEROUS DELICATE INTERDENTALAND INTERRADICULAR ARRANGEMENT OF TRABECUAE.
MORE COMMON IN MAX.
In max. trabeculae are less prominent because of proximity of nasal cavity & max sinus.
Both the cribriform plate and cortical plate are COMPACT BONE separated by spongy bone.
Lamellae arranged in parallel layers surounding bony susrface –circumferential
Deep to it lamellae arranged in small concentric layers –concentric
Btwn osteons interstitial lamellae that are remenants of osteon left behind during remodeling.
Havesian canal –central vascular canal
Adjacent haversian canal interconnected by VOLKMANS CANAL. These are channels that contain blood vessels ,creating a rich vascular network.
Outer aspect of compact bone is surrounded by condensd fibrocollagen layer.
Double-layered protective membrane, outer layer is fibrous and inner layer contains bone cells , their precursors.
supplied with nerve fibers, blood, and lymphatic vessels entering the bone via nutrient foramina.
BONE is a connective tissue composed of cells ,fibers & ground substance.
.
The intercellular substance of bone consists of inorganic & organic substance.
The inorganic par is composed of bone minerals. i.e. the HA crystals.
While the oraganic part also known as otsteoid is made up of colaagenous and non- collagenous proteins.
The bone matrix is formed from..
Type I collagen(>95%) is the principal collagen in mineralized bone together with Type V (5%) forms heterotypic fibre bundles that provide the basic structural integrity of connective tissue.
Type III and XII fibres are also present.
Sharpey’s fibres contain type iiiand I
TYPE XII IS expressed under conditions of mechanical strain.
In woven bone fibers are interwoven with great amount of interfibrillar space, while in mature bone fibers are arranged in organized sheets, with little interfibrillar space.
Non collagenous protein comprise of remaining 10% of the total organic content of bone matrix.
Most are endogenous protein produced by bone cells while some like albumin are derived from other sources like blood and become incorporated in bone matrix during osteosynthesis.
Bone proteoglycans. Diagrammatic representation
of the major proteoglycans in bone matrix are shown. All
are characteristically chondoitin sulfate proteoglycans
(CS-PGs) with one or more chondroitin sulfate glycosaminoglucuronoglycan
side chain (green) attached to a single
protein core. Biglycan and decorin belong to a family of
small leucine-rich proteins and have similar structure; the
leucine-rich segments shown as boxes. At the C-terminus
are N-linked polysaccharides and a cystine bridge (yellow)
linking a terminal loop. The protein core of chondroitin
sulfate proteoglycan III is acidic and binds to bone mineral
crystals (HA), but its structure is unknown. The large
versican-like molecule is present in the unmineralized
bone matrix.
Core binding factor 1 also called as “ OSTEOGENIC MASTER GENE “s essential for osteoblast differentiation and bone formation.
Most active secretory cells of bone.
OPG IS A potent inhibitor of osteoclast formation.
RANKL is a membrane bound TNF , that is expresseD by osteoblasts .its presence is vital in osteoclast differentiation.
When bone is not forming ,
cover most but not all quiescent bone surfaces
decreased protein secretion
relative paucity of organelles
Quiescent surfaces are known to be a primary site of mineral ion exchange between blood and adult bone.
The number of osteoblasts that become osteocytes depend upon the rapidity of bone formation.
Within the matrix osteocytes decrease in size and create space around them called as lacunae.
Narrow extensions of these lacunae form channels called canaliculi.
Osteocytic processes are present within them.
Osteocytes possess ellipsoid cell body with oval nucleus.
Contain few organelles bjt enough RER and golgi suggesting that these cells are capable of keeping bone matrix in good state of repair.
Ruffled border is thesite of ion transport +protein secretion. CLEAR ZONE- CONTAINS NO ORGANELLES
SEALING ZONE : Peripheral region of apical membrane is tightly juxtaposed to the matrix. BASOLATERAL MEMBRANE : MAJOR SITE FOR RECEPTION AND INTEGRATION OF REGULATORY SIGNALS
reaches PDL from three sources; apical vessels, penetrating vessels from the alveolar bone and anastomosing vessels from gingiva.
Alteration in osteoclasts- formation of ruffled border, osteoclasts arrive at the resorption site and attach at the sealing zone by cell membrane proteins INTEGRIN αVβ3. SEALING ZONE CREATES isolated acidic microenvironment by action of protein pump. Decreased ph 2.5 -3.5 im resorption space .
Leads to demineralization of bone and exposes organic matrix.
Degradation of organic matrix b cathepsin K ,COLLAGENOLYTIC ENZYME AND MMP ,ACID PHOSPHATASE.
Removal of products by endocytosis into osteoclasts ,packed in vesicles and by exocytosis in extracellular space away from bone.
BONE IS HIGHLY DYNAMIC c.t. with the capacity to remodel continuously.
Osteoblasts and osteoclasts are the major effectors in turnover of bone matrix.

Bone remodeling. Resorption -when osteoclasts resorb bone mineral and matrix.osteoclasts tunnel into bone surface for 3 wks.
Reversal --Mononuclear cells prepare the resorbed surface for osteoblasts,
Formation- osteoblasts generate newly synthesized matrix as they differentiate.
Matrix mineralization and the differentiation of some osteoblasts into osteocytes completes the remodeling cycle.
It marks the limit of bone erosion prior to the formation of osteon.
The line is highly irregular and formed from scalloped outline of howship’s lacunae.
Differs from reversal line in more regular appearance.
