Development, maturation, and aging of the alveolar bone. New insights.
Osteoblasts and bone tissue of the mandibular and maxillary alveolar processes substantially differ from osteoblasts and bone in other parts of the skeleton. These differences are apparent during embryonic development, maturation, and aging of these bones. The cellular and molecular basis for these differences is still not clear, but it is unfolding at record speed.
