6

jaw bone is seen with
Alveolar bone. As this bone is
attached to the constantly remodeling periodontal ligament fibers, they under
go constant remodeling to accommodate.

6th week
12
Throughout fetal life the
mandible is a/an 
Paired bone
13

unite by ossification of the symphyseal fibrocartilage at 
1st  year
14
The symphysial cartilage is
derived from
Connective tissue of midline
15
Mental ossicles are bone
found 
In the symphysial cartilage
16
The development of the alveolar
process begins at 
2nd month of fetal life
17
The bone at the alveolar crest
that has characteristics of cartilage and bone is referred as 
Chondroid bone
18
Alveolar bone proper is
The thin lamellae of bone that
surrounds the root of the tooth & give attachment to the periodontal
ligament fibers.
19
The supporting alveolar bone is
inclusive of 
Cortical plates; Compact bone;
Spongy bone. Does not include Bundle bone
20
The cortical plate is thickest
in the 
Buccal side of the posterior
mandible
21
Spongy bone is not found in
In the region of the anterior
teeth of both jaws
22
The spongiosa of the alveolar
process with a ladder like configuration is present in 
Mandible
23
The spongiosa of the alveolar
process is irregularly arranged is in 
Maxilla
24
The inderdental and
interradicular septa contains the nutrient canals called as 
Zuckerkandl and Hirschfeld
canal
25
In mandible the hematopoietic
marrow is not found in 
Coronoid process
26
The alveolar bone proper is
perforated by branches of intralveolar nerves and blood vessels and hence is
also called the 
Cribriform plate
27
The periodontal ligaments are
anchored to the 
Bundle bone
28
The type of bone that contains
more calcium salts per unit area is
Bundle bone
29
Inorganic content of bone is approximately
65%
30
In bone the type of collagen is
primarily
Type I
31
Howship’s lacunae are bay like
depressions in the bone that contain
Osteoclast
32
The first formed alveolar bone
lies near to the
Crypt wall
33
The bundle bone is named so because
it
It provides attachment to
bundles of fibers of periodontal ligament
34
Lamina dura has
Increased radiopacity
35
The increased radiopacity of
lamina dura is due to the fact
Absence of trabeculation. It is
a very thin plate of thick bone with absence of trabeculation.
36
The Sharpey’s fiber that is
located within old bone and terminates with reversal line is
Severed fibers
37
The Sharpey’s fiber that is
located within the new bone and terminating at reversal line is the 
Adhesive fibers
38
The Sharpey’s fibers that are
entirely in the new bone is the 
Arborized fibers
39
The non-striated Sharpey’s
fibers cross the reversal line is 
Continuous fibers. Continuous
fibrils connect the old and new fibrils and to accomplish this they cross the
reversal lines.
40
Osteon is
A cylinder of bone that forms
the functional unit of bone
41
In the centre of each osteon is
the
Haversian canal
42
Two adjacent Haversian canals
are interconnected by 
Volkmann canal
43
In addition to collagen of type
I, osteoblasts also secrete collagen of
Type V
44
The bone that has more
osteocytes is the
Woven bone. It is reported that
the woven bone and repairing bone have large number of osteocytes as compared
to others.
45
Osteoblasts produce their
hydrolytic enzymes under the influence of
Interleukin 6
46
Chondroblasts on reaching
maximum size elaborates
Type X collagen
47
Alveolar process attains its
maximum size with
On one half root formation. The
tooth starts to erupt once it is half formed and with the teeth reaching its
functional position, the alveolar process attains its maximum size.
48
The part of the jaw that forms
and supports the sockets of the teeth is the
Alveolar process
49
The bone that surrounds
alveolar bone proper and gives support to the socket is the 
Supporting alveolar bone
50
The outer and inner plates of
alveolar process are formed by the
Alveolar bone proper
51
The area between the cortical
plates and alveolar bone proper is filled by the 
Spongy bone
52
In alveolus, defects of the
outer alveolar walls are common in
Posterior maxilla
53
Usually the marrow space in the
alveolar process contains
Fatty marrow
54
In adulthood the bone turnover
rate of cortical bone is
5% per year. 15% per year bone
turnover rate is observed with trabeculae.
55
The fibrous attachment between
tooth and bone is called as 
Gomphosis
56
The matrix of the bone that is
devoid of minerals is referred as
Osteoid tissue
57
The pink layer of tissue in
hematoxylin and eosin section surrounding the normal basophilic bone is the
Osteoid tissue
58
The scalloped outline near
Howship lacunae that turn their convexity towards the old bone is
Reversal line. Resting lines
are often linear and not scalloped.
59
After removal or loss of tooth,
the alveolar bone
Undergoes atrophy
60
The embryonic bone that is
formed during healing in extraction socket is the
Immature bone
61
The spongy bone in association
with a function less teeth show radiographically
Pronounced rarefaction of
trabeculae. They contain less bone trabeculae and are thin.
62
Alveolar bone proper in
association with functionless teeth is
Remain normal. They maintain
their thickness as they continue to receive some or other stimuli from the
tension in periodontal ligament fibers.
63
Bulk of the compact bone is
made up of 
Concentric lamellae.
Circumferential lamellae enclose or line the outer surface of adult bone
while interstitial lamella is seen between the circumferential and concentric
lamellae.
