Disease relevance of Alveolar Process

• A polypoid mass which presented with the appearance of a congenital epulis was located in the midline of the maxillary alveolar ridge of a two-year-old boy [1].
• These results suggest that both the nickel titanium and the rapid palatal expansion appliances are capable of expanding the maxillary dentition and alveolar process and are equally capable of correcting posterior crossbites [2].
• This article presents a patient with skeletal open bite who was treated in the mixed dentition with an orthodontic appliance that included an acrylic occlusal splint and an expansion screw, based on the original Thurow appliance, to guide the vertical force against the posterior teeth and the alveolar process [3].
• The measure depth of the periodontal pockets PPD was subjected to evaluation, the level of the epithelial attachment CAL and the defect of bone of the alveolar process were observed on radiograms [4].
• Coexpression of keratin and desmin in a carcinosarcoma involving the maxillary alveolar ridge [5].

High impact information on Alveolar Process

• RESULTS: In the fetal specimens, the upper lip (coronal plane), alveolar ridge, tooth sockets, point of fusion of primary and secondary palates (axial plane), and fusion line of the secondary palate (sagittal plane) were consistently observed [6].
• The Msx1-Bmp4 transgene was also able to rescue the alveolar processes and the neonatal lethality of the Msx1 mutants [7].
• These results indicate that Bmp4 can bypass Msx1 function to partially rescue molar tooth development in vivo, and to support alveolar process formation [7].
• The results indicate that resorption was initiated on the facial and occlusal surfaces of the alveolar ridge and proceeded palatally [8].
• The accuracy in vivo was determined from the BMC measurements of the two test persons and of nine edentulous persons, scanned before and after augmentation of the maxillary alveolar ridge with hydroxyapatite [9].

Biological context of Alveolar Process

• CONCLUSIONS: The observations in this study point to a substantial native osteogenic potential of the alveolar process that has previously not been explored and show that surgical reentry observations of new bone formation may not necessarily indicate that osseointegration has occurred [10].
• The study was designed to investigate the process of bone formation caused by implantation of octacalcium phosphate as well as stability of the bone formed at the alveolar ridge [11].
• OBJECTIVES: Our goal was to determine whether the radiographic fractal dimension of the maxillary and mandibular alveolar processes is related to bone density of the alveolar processes, spine, hip, and radius in healthy women [12].

Anatomical context of Alveolar Process

• Observations and data revealed that at the alveolar ridge the oral epithelium is truly keratinizing and comprises four strata including a 40 +/- 5 micron-thick stratum corneum, which displays the oral keratin pattern [13].
• Management of the maxilla after alveolar ridge augmentation with hydroxylapatite when opposed by mandibular implants [14].
• The aim of this investigation was to histologically compare the effects of new titanium membranes with those of proven expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) membranes on alveolar ridge augmentation [15].
• Malignant neoplasms of the hard palate and upper alveolar ridge can arise from the epithelial (mucosal), salivary, hematopoietic, or mesenchymal tissues in this region [16].
• The treatment of panoral verrucous dysplasia involving the maxillary edentulous alveolar ridge, buccal vestibule, and palate is discussed [17].

Associations of Alveolar Process with chemical compounds

• The forces of occlusion are recorded as photoelastic fringes in a urethane alveolar process [18].
• An autogenous bone graft harvested from the chin area was utilized along with a titanium mesh for vertical alveolar ridge augmentation in this area [19].
• Defects in the merging process produce just a notch of the vermilion or a higher cleft of the lower lip with or without involvement of the alveolar process of the mandible [20].
• Inhibition of post-extraction alveolar ridge resorption in rats by dichloromethane diphosphonate [21].
• Fractal dimension in radiographic analysis of alveolar process bone [22].

Gene context of Alveolar Process

• One lesion was classified as T4 on MR because of infiltration of the alveolar ridge but was classified as T2 at surgery [23].
• Clinical and histologic evaluation of bone-replacement grafts in the treatment of localized alveolar ridge defects. Part 2: bioactive glass particulate [24].
• Evaluation of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 on the repair of alveolar ridge defects in baboons [25].
• CONCLUSION: The results suggest midline incisions on the alveolar ridge, marginal incisions in dentated areas, releasing incisions only at the anterior border of the entire incision line, and avoidance of incisions crossing the alveolar ridge [26].
• In the maxillar region Denta Scan avoids unnecessary interventions by demonstrating the insufficient width of the alveolar ridge, often missed on panoramic radiographs (4 of 21 maxillar cases) [27].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Alveolar Process

• This two-center human clinical trial evaluated recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 delivered in an absorbable collagen sponge (rhBMP-2/ACS) for either alveolar ridge preservation after tooth extraction or augmentation of localized osseous defects [28].
• The use of ITI implants for rehabilitation of the edentulous patient has shown predictable results not only in the standard sites but also in cases of advanced alveolar ridge atrophy [29].
• Pivotal clinical trials of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 are underway in patients with open tibial shaft fractures and in patients with a deficiency of the alveolar ridge [30].
• During the first operation bone blocks harvested from the mandibular ramus or symphysis were placed as lateral or vertical onlay grafts and fixed with titanium osteosynthesis screws after exposure of the deficient alveolar ridge [31].
• Clinical and histologic evaluation of bone-replacement grafts in the treatment of localized alveolar ridge defects. Part 1: Mineralized freeze-dried bone allograft [32].
