Dental alveoli(singularalveolus) are sockets in thejawsin which the roots ofteethare held in thealveolar processwith theperiodontal ligament.The lay term for dental alveoli istooth sockets.Ajointthat connects the roots of the teeth and the alveolus is called agomphosis(pluralgomphoses). Alveolar bone is the bone that surrounds the roots of the teeth forming bone sockets.

Etymology
edit1706, "a hollow", especially "the socket of a tooth", from Latin alveolus "a tray, trough, basin; bed of a small river; small hollow or cavity", diminutive of alvus "belly, stomach, paunch, bowels; hold of a ship", from PIE root *aulo- "hole, cavity" (source also of Greek aulos "flute, tube, pipe"; Serbo-Croatian, Polish, Russian ulica "street", originally "narrow opening"; Old Church Slavonic uliji, Lithuanian aulys "beehive" (hollow trunk), Armenian yli "pregnant" ). The word was extended in 19c. anatomy to other small pits, sockets, or cells.
Socket preservation
editSocket preservationor alveolar ridge preservation (ARP)[1]is a procedure to reduce bone loss aftertooth extractionto preserve the dental alveolus (tooth socket) in thealveolar bone.Aplatelet-rich fibrin(PRF)[2]membrane containing bone growth enhancing elements can be stitched over the wound or a graft material or scaffold is placed in the socket of an extracted tooth.[3][4]The socket is then directly closed with stitches or covered with a non-resorbable or resorbable membrane andsutured.[5]
Pathology
editThe swelling of the dental alveoli can result inalveolitis,causing pain and discomfort to the mouth.
