| 31. | Dentin and cementum are more susceptible to caries than enamel because they have lower mineral content.
|
| 32. | Fibroblasts are involved developing the periodontal ligament which connect teeth to the alveolar bone through cementum.
|
| 33. | They are involved in adult regeneration of the periodontal ligament, alveolar bone, and cementum.
|
| 34. | The tooth is held in location by a periodontal ligament, with the assistance of cementum.
|
| 35. | Thus again, cementum is more similar to alveolar bone, with its osteoblasts becoming entrapped osteocytes.
|
| 36. | Cementum is capable of repairing itself to a limited degree and is not resorbed under normal conditions.
|
| 37. | The origin of the formative cementoblasts is believed to be different for cellular cementum and acellular cementum.
|
| 38. | The origin of the formative cementoblasts is believed to be different for cellular cementum and acellular cementum.
|
| 39. | Nonetheless, it is known that cellular cementum is usually not found in teeth with one root.
|
| 40. | It is this part which is attached to the cementum of the roots by the periodontal ligament.
