another, known as the cushioned hammock theory, resulted from microscopic study of teeth, which was thought to show a ligament around the root.
it was later discovered that the "ligament" was merely an artifact created in the process of preparing the slide.
currently, the most widely held belief is that the periodontal ligaments provide the main impetus for the process.
the periodontium is the supporting structure of a tooth, helping to attach the tooth to surrounding tissues and to allow sensations of touch and pressure.
it consists of the cementum, periodontal ligaments, alveolar bone, and gingiva.
of these, cementum is the only one that is a part of a tooth.
periodontal ligaments connect the alveolar bone to the cementum.
