Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The periodontal membrane is a fibrous connective tissue that attaches the cementum of a tooth to the alveolar bone of the jaw. This joint is known as a gomphosis joint, which is a specialized type of fibrous joint found only in the teeth. The other options, such as sutures, syndesmoses, and synovial joints, are not associated with the periodontal membrane.
