The soft, fibrous connective tissue between tooth and socket that attaches the tooth.
or membrane odons = tooth; fibro-elastic tissue (including Shapey's fibres) joining the tooth to its alveolar socket in the bone.
the connective tissue that surrounds a tooth and attaches it to the jaw.
The strong fibres that attach the tooth to supporting jaw bone.
(pawr'-ee-o-DOhN-tahl LIHG-aw-mehnt) A connective tissue membrane that surrounds a tooth and connects it to the bone of the jaw.
The tiny fibers that connect the tooth root to the jaw bone
like the springs that hold a trampoline to its frame, this tissue supports the tooth and holds it in place in the bony socket surrounding the tooth.This tissue cushions both the tooth and the surrounding bone against the shock of chewing and biting.
The connective tissue that surrounds the tooth (specifically covering the cementum) and connects the tooth to the jawbone, holding it in place.
The fibers, which suspend the tooth in the boney socket. The periodontal ligament is attached at one end to the cementurm and at the other end to the alveolar bone.
The connecting ligament between a tooth and the bony socket.
Fibers come out of the bone surrounding a tooth, and fibers come out of the tooth. Where they interlace is called the periodontal ligament.
Connective tissue attaching a tooth to the alveolar bone. See alveolus.
The periodontal membrane, which serves a ligamentous function in tooth attachment.
The periodontal ligament is a specialized connective tissue that attaches a tooth to the jaw bone. This ligament helps the tooth withstand large compressive forces which occur during chewing, without destruction of the adjacent alveolar [[bone].
