On this week’s episode of Fast Facts - Perio Edition your host, Katrina Sanders, RDH talks to us about the alveolar bone proper!

 

Quotes: 

 

“The Cribriform plates themselves are thinner plates of bone that have perforations and those perforations are really important because those little openings are openings that carry blood vessels and nerve endings and of course, lymphatic support from the bone and supplies a kind of a nutritional source directly to the periodontal ligament fibers.”

 

“The two parts of the alveolar process are the alveolar bone proper and that's what we're going to talk about this week. Next week, we're going to talk about the supporting bone, and it's important for us to understand the differences between the two.”
