	Alveolar ridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An alveolar ridge is one of the two jaw ridges either on the roof of the mouth between the upper teeth and the hard palate or on the bottom of the mouth behind the lower teeth.
		The alveolar ridges are so named because they contain the sockets (alveoli) of the teeth.
		Alveolar consonants are, for instance, [t], [d], [s], [z], [n], [l] like in the words time, dragon, superman, zeal, nasty and lollipop.

	Alveolar consonant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Alveolar consonants are articulated with the tongue against or close to the superior alveolar ridge, which is called that because it contains the alveoli (the sockets) of the superior teeth.
		Alveolar consonants may be articulated with the tip of the tongue (so-called apical consonants), as in English, or with the flat of the tongue just above the tip (the "blade" of the tongue; called laminal consonants), as in French and Spanish.
		The laminal alveolar articulation is often mistakenly called dental, because the tip of the tongue can be seen near to or touching the teeth.

	NationMaster.com - Encyclopedia: Postalveolar consonant
		Postalveolar (or palato-alveolar) consonants are consonants articulated with the tip of the tongue between the alveolar ridge (the place of articulation for alveolar consonants) and the palate (the place of articulation for palatal consonants).
		Alveolars are consonants articulated with the tip of the tongue against the alveolar ridge, the internal side of the upper gums (known as the alveoles of the upper teeth).
		Glottal consonants are consonants articulated with the glottis.

	NationMaster.com - Encyclopedia: Voiceless alveolar lateral fricative
		The voiceless alveolar lateral fricative is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages.
		Its place of articulation is alveolar, which means it is articulated with either the tip or the blade of the tongue against the alveolar ridge, termed respectively apical and laminal.
		The alveolar ridge is the ridge on the roof of the mouth between the teeth and the hard palate.

	Alveolar trill - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The alveolar trill is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages (such as Russian, Spanish, Armenian, and Polish).
		Its place of articulation is alveolar which means it is articulated with the tip of the tongue against the alveolar ridge.
		Alveolar trills are common in Slavic languages like Russian and Polish, as well as Romance languages such as Spanish and Italian.

	Alveolar flap (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-07-20)
		The alveolar flap is the single 'r' sound in Spanish, as in words like pero (="but") and ir (="to go"), but not in rana (="frog"), where it is an alveolar trill.
		The alveolar flap isn't a phoneme of English, but it occurs as an allophone of [t] and [d], the voiceless alveolar plosive and voiced alveolar plosive, in American English when they occur in unstressed syllable s, like in the words rider and fatter.
		In a normal alveolar plosive closure, the vocal tract is blocked for some 50 ms, but in the flap, produced by one rapid tap of the tongue against the...

	Unique aspects of alveolar ridge defects and resorption
		Alveolar bone is that specialized part of the cranio-maxillofacial skeleton that forms the primary support for the teeth.
		Alveolar bone is composed of bundles of bone which is built up in layers in a parallel orientation to the coronal-apical direction of the tooth.
		Alveolar ridge defects and deformities can be the result of congenital maldevelopment, trauma, periodontal disease or surgical ablation, as in the case of tumor surgery.

	Voiced alveolar fricative - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Its manner of articulation is sibilant fricative, which means it is produced by directing air flow through a groove in the tongue at the place of articulation and directing it over the sharp edge of the teeth, causing high-frequency turbulence.
		The voiced alveolar fricative occurs in English, and it is the sound denoted by the letter 'z' in zoo or the letter 's' in roses.
		Its manner of articulation is simple fricative, which means it is produced by constricting air flow through a narrow channel at the place of articulation, causing turbulence, but without the grooved tongue and directed airflow, or the high frequencies, of a sibilant.

	Alveolar tap - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The alveolar tap or flap is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages.
		Its manner of articulation is tap or flap, which means it is produced with a single contraction of the muscles so that one articulator briefly strikes the other.
		The alveolar tap is the single orthographic 'r' between vowels, as in pero ("but"), but not in perro ("dog"), where it is an alveolar trill.

	Inadequate Bone
		This spacing mandates very large pontics to contact the alveolar ridge soft tissues and is not resolved by sinus grafting, although sinus grafting may raise the sinus floor adequately to place implants.
		Lateral ridge augmentation is most commonly used with isolated ridge concavities, or with ridge deficiencies that would mandate the implant be placed too far lingually to occlude in a cusp-fossa relationship with the lower teeth.
		When the ridge width is 2-3mm too narrow but well formed the ridge splitting technique is an excellent method which allows the implants to be placed immediately in the channel formed during the splitting process.

		The four kinds of stops in English are labial, alveolar, velar and glottal (the “break” sound in the middle of uh-oh, performed deep in your throat at the glottis).
		Another sound that is articulated at the alveolar ridge is the sound in the middle of the word butter.
		Notice that your tongue isn’t touching the alveolar ridge anymore, but is slightly farther back in the mouth, between the alveolar ridge and the soft palate (this area is variously called the alveo-palatal, palatal-alveolar, or post-alveolar region).

	System for diagnosis, placement and prosthetic restoration of root form implant - Patent 5769636
		A lateral plane of inclination is first defined that is cosmetically consistent with the lateral inclination of the teeth adjacent the area in the alveolar ridge where the implant is to be placed and which does not otherwise interfere with the roots of these teeth.
		Finally, using specially designed dental surgical guides, a hole is drilled in the alveolar ridge, and the desired dental implant is fixed therein by directing the implant thereto along the angular inclinations that were determined by the dental practitioner to be optimal.
		The stent, in conjunction with a metal ring fixed thereto, is used to guide placement of the dental implant in the alveolar ridge by directing the implant to the selected site in the ridge along the angular inclinations that were calculated by carrying out the inventive technique.

		An alveolar ridge is one of the two jaw ridges either on the roof of the mouth between the superior (= upper) teeth and the hard palate or on the bottom of the mouth behind the inferior (= lower) teeth.
		The alveolar ridges are called that way because they have the alveoli (sockets, sing.: alveolus) of the teeth.
		Many languages have consonants that are articulated with the tongue on (touching) or close to (without touching) the superior alveolar ridge.
