The lamina propria is the periosteal membrane which lines the alveolus. It lies below the gingeval epithelium at the surface and adjoins the neck and roots of the tooth. The lamina propria is also known as the mandibular or maxillary periosteum, depending upon in which bone the alveolus is located. It carries the nutrient vessels and nerves for the alveolus and the tooth itself.
