The alveolar process may be tender to palpation over the roots.
When a tooth is lost the alveolar process begins to remodel.
Abnormal swallowing patterns push the upper teeth forward and away from the upper alveolar processes and cause open bites.
Bony remodeling as the alveolus adapts to the edentulous state occurs in the longer term as the alveolar process slowly resorbs.
When impacted teeth are retained completely within the alveolar process, the associated follicular sac is also retained along with it.
With age and tooth loss, the alveolar process is absorbed so that the mandibular canal becomes nearer the superior border.
The mandibular alveolar process can become resorbed when completely edentulous in the mandibular arch ( occasionally noted also in partially edentulous cases ).
In the adult the vertical diameter is the greatest, owing to the development of the alveolar process and the increase in size of the sinus.
In old age, the bone becomes greatly reduced in volume due to the loss of teeth and consequent resorption of the alveolar processes and interalveolar septa.
The alveolar process contains a region of compact bone adjacent to the periodontal ligament ( PDL ), which is called the lamina dura when viewed on radiographs.
