Spanish term or phrase: cresta ósea
El mayor número de ausencias dentarias en el DS group se detectó en el sector anterior, y correspondieron principalmente al canino y primer premolar derechos, lo que motivó que en 10 pacientes no se pudieran realizar mediciones en esa localización.
Dimensiones del alveolar bone en el SD y en los controles
Las dimensiones V-P aumentaron progresivamente tanto en el DS group como en el control group a medida que se efectuaron mediciones en sectores más posteriores.
En el DS group las dimensiones V-P aumentaban a medida que se efectuaban a mayor profundidad desde la cresta ósea; en los controles no se constató esta tendencia y en los espacios intermolares incluso se observó el efecto contrario.

DS is Down syndrome. Not sure about "crest bone". Could be "dental crest" or "bone crest". Thoughts?
