Parodonte
Résumé
The periodontium is the specialized tissues that both surround and support the teeth, maintaining them in the maxillary and mandibular bones. The word comes from the Greek terms περί peri-, meaning "around" and -odont, meaning "tooth". Literally taken, it means that which is "around the tooth". Periodontics is the dental specialty that relates specifically to the care and maintenance of these tissues. It provides the support necessary to maintain teeth in function. It consists of four principal components, namely:
Gingiva
Periodontal ligament (PDL)
Cementum
Alveolar bone proper
Each of these components is distinct in location, architecture, and biochemical properties, which adapt during the life of the structure. For example, as teeth respond to forces or migrate medially, bone resorbs on the pressure side and is added on the tension side. Cementum similarly adapts to wear on the occlusal surfaces of the teeth by apical deposition. The periodontal ligament in itself is an area of high turnover that allows the tooth not only to be suspended in the alveolar bone but also to respond to the forces. Thus, although seemingly static and having functions of their own, all of these components function as a single unit.
The Wnt signaling antagonist Sfrp3/Frzb has been recently discovered as an early developmental marker of the periodontium.
The periodontium exists for the purpose of supporting teeth during their function and it depends on the stimulation it receives from the function for preservation of its structure. Therefore, a constant state of balance always exists between the periodontal structures and the external forces.
Alveolar bone undergoes constant physiologic remodeling in response to external forces, particularly occlusal forces. Bone is removed from areas where it is no longer needed and added to areas where it is needed. The socket wall reflects the responsiveness to the external forces. Osteoblasts and newly formed osteoid line the areas of tension, whereas lines of compression are lined by osteoclasts.

Matteo Galli, Joël Cugnoni, Marzio Bergomi
Harmonic tension–compression tests at 0.1, 0.5 and 1 Hz on hydrated bovine periodontal ligament (PDL) were numerically simulated. The process was modeled by finite elements (FE) within the framework of poromechanics, with the objective of isolating the con ...

Alveolar process
The alveolar process (ælˈviːələr,_ˌælviˈoʊlər,_ˈælviələr) or alveolar bone is the thickened ridge of bone that contains the tooth sockets on the jaw bones (in humans, the maxilla and the mandible). The structures are covered by gums as part of the oral cavity. The synonymous terms alveolar ridge and alveolar margin are also sometimes used more specifically to refer to the ridges on the inside of the mouth which can be felt with the tongue, either on roof of the mouth between the upper teeth and the hard palate or on the bottom of the mouth behind the lower teeth.
Ligament alvéolo-dentaire
Le ligament alvéolo-dentaire ou desmodonte, aussi appelé ligament desmodontal ou ligament parodontal, est un tissu conjonctif dense entourant la racine des dents et situé entre le cément et la corticale alvéolaire interne de l'os alvéolaire. Le desmodonte peut faire plus précisément référence à l'espace anatomique compris entre le cément et l'os alvéolaire. En effet la dent n'est pas soudée à l'os. Il existe toujours un espace entre la dent et l'os alvéolaire, visible à la radiographie.
Cément
Le cément dentaire est le tissu qui recouvre la dentine au niveau de la racine. La couronne de la dent est protégée par l'émail, mais la racine n'est protégée que par le cément, une couche de cellules constituant un tissu calcifié fin et dur permettant la forte cohésion, par l’intermédiaire de la racine, d’une dent avec l’os constituant la mâchoire dans laquelle elle est implantée. La maladie correspondant à la destruction du cément et des tissus de soutien qui l’accompagnent est la parodontopathie.
