It is also referred to as the alveolar bone . In humans, the tooth bearing bones are the maxilla and the Human mandible mandible . The mineral content of alveolar bone is mostly hydroxyapatite , which is also found in Tooth enamel enamel as the main inorganic substance. On the maxilla, the alveolarprocess is a ridge on the Anatomical position Transverse plane inferior surface, and on the Human mandible mandible it is a ridge on the Anatomical position Transverse plane superior surface. It makes up the thickest part of the maxilla. The alveolarprocess contains a region of compact bone adjacent to the periodontal ligament called lamina dura . It is this part which is attached to the cementum of the roots by the periodontal ligament. The buccinator muscle attaches to the alveolar processes of both the maxilla and mandible.

The maxilla is ossified in membrane. Mall 40 and Fawcett 41 maintain that it is ossified from two centers only, one for the maxilla proper and one for the premaxilla. These centers appear during the sixth week of fetal life and unite in the beginning of the third month, but the suture between the two portions persists on the palate until nearly middle life. Mall states that the frontal process is developed from both centers. The maxillary sinus appears as a shallow groove on the nasal surface of the bone about the fourth month of fetal life, but does not reach its full size until after the second dentition.
