Evolution has complicated the relationship between teeth and jaws. In mammals a complex tissue, the periodontal ligament, joins the two organs. This has led to the differentiation of specialized structures at the periodontal ligament interfaces with the root (the cementum) and the jaw (the alveolar wall or alveolar bone proper) in which the fiber bundles of the periodontal ligament are anchored. Once inserted, these fibers are called Sharpey’s fibers. The alveolar wall is surrounded by the supporting bone with which it forms an anatomical unit. The supporting bone includes the buccal and oral cortical plates and the septa. The cortical plates are in continuity with the cortices of the body of the jaws. Cancellous bone is interposed between the alveolar wall and the cortical plates. In some locations, the amount of cancellous bone is minimal, and sometimes there is none (Fig. la). The alveolar wall and the cortical plates merge at the alveolar bone crest. The buccal and oral plates are united by the interdental and interradicular septa which are formed by cancellous bone. The interdental septa are covered by compact cortical bone (Fig. lb). After the eruption period, the relationship between the teeth and their supporting structures remains dynamic, as the former migrate spontaneously within the alveolar process. This implies adaptation mechanisms preserving the anchorage to bone and the integrity of the periodontal ligament, which is a source of progenitor cells renewing the tissues (24, 33).
