Bundle bone
Summary
Bundle bone (also known as alveolar bone proper) is a histologic term for the portion of the bone of the alveolar process that surrounds teeth and into which the collagen fibers of the periodontal ligament are embedded. It can also be referred to as alveolar bone proper.
Bundle bone is functionally dependent in that it resorbs following tooth extraction or loss.
Bundle bone is very flexible and constantly remodels to accommodate the changing shape and size of the dental structures it contains. Bundle bone can be divided into two main parts: a thin layer of compact (radiodense) bone (the ‘cortex’ of alveolus) that lines the alveolus proper, in which Sharpey's fibers insert, that is radiographically termed the lamina dura (lamina dura denta).
