The alveolar process, as previously mentioned, is composed of two parts, the alveolar bone proper and the supporting bone. The alveolar bone proper is the bone that lines the socket of a tooth. The function of the alveolar bone proper, together with the root cementum and the periodontal ligament, is to form the attachment apparatus of the tooth.
