Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The developmental dental anomaly of anodontia,in which tooth germs are congenitally absent,may affect the development of the alveolar process of either jaw.Proper development is impossible because the alveolar unit of each dental arch only forms in response to the tooth germs in the area.Only basal bone will be present in each one of the involved areas of the jaws.The alveolar process,which includes the alveolar bone proper and the supporting alveolar bone,the latter of which consists of the cortical bone and trabecular bone,will not have developed due to the anodontia.
