The function of this complex is to reduce surface tension in the alveolus and prevent collapse during expiration.
12.
The water in this fluid has a high surface tension, and provides a force that could collapse the alveolus.
13.
Bony remodeling as the alveolus adapts to the edentulous state occurs in the longer term as the alveolar process slowly resorbs.
14.
Alveolar bone surrounds the roots of teeth to provide support and creates what is commonly called an alveolus, or " socket ".
15.
If the alveolus were to collapse, a great force would be required to open it, meaning that compliance would decrease drastically.
16.
Although the height of the alveolus cannot be determined because the lower side is broken away, the incisor must have been quite deep.
17.
:The normal structure is an alveolus, whereas disease can result in talk ) 09 : 28, 9 March 2009 ( UTC)
18.
The presence of surfactant in this fluid breaks up the surface tension of water, making it less likely that the alveolus can collapse inward.
19.
As the root analog dental implant matches the tooth socket ( dental alveolus ) it can only be placed in conjunction with the tooth extraction.
20.
OAC if left untreated can either heal spontaneously or progress into OAF . The fistulous opening may be situated on the alveolus or gingivolabial sulcus.
