The bone of tooth socket is called:

 # The bone of tooth socket is called:

A. Alveolar process

B. Alveolus

C. Gomphosis

D. Cancellous bone

The correct answer is A. Alveolar process.

The bone of the tooth socket is called the Alveolar process.

Here’s a brief explanation of the terms:

Alveolar process: The bony ridge in the jaw that contains the sockets (alveoli) for the teeth.

Alveolus: Refers specifically to the individual tooth socket itself.

Gomphosis: The fibrous joint between a tooth and its socket.

Cancellous bone: A type of bone tissue that is spongy and found within the alveolar process, but it is not specifically the term for the socket.

So the correct answer is A. Alveolar process.

Number of surfaces of an anterior tooth is:

 # Number of surfaces of an anterior tooth is:

A. 5

B. 3

C. 4

D. 6

The correct answer is C. 4.

The number of surfaces of an anterior tooth is typically 4. Anterior teeth, which include incisors and canines, generally have the following surfaces:

1. Facial (or Labial): The surface facing the lips.
2. Lingual: The surface facing the tongue.
3. Mesial: The surface closest to the midline of the dental arch.
4. Distal: The surface farthest from the midline.

Therefore, the correct answer is C. 4.
