what is the surgery procedure called that removes the boney growth I know the first word is alveo?

Question:

Answers:
"alveolectomy"
it removes the excess alveolar process (bony growth) after single tooth extraction or multiple extractions. this leads to the creation of an ideal ridge form for the placement of dentures.

"alveoloplasty"
it is basically the reshaping of bone rather than removal. it is done in extraction sockets when the wound closure becomes difficult due to the sharp bone present or on edentulous ridges where the protuberance hinders the placement of dentures &/or causes pain during the same.

both the above are termed as preprosthetic surgeries.
