ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Cementum has historically been classified into cellular and acellular cementum by inclusion or non-inclusion of cementocytes. Generally, acellular cementum is thin and covers the cervical root, whereas thick cellular cementum covers the apical root (Fig.

Detailed explanation-2: -The layer of cementum functions to attach the root of the tooth to the periodontal ligament, which helps to provide critical stabilization of the tooth in the bone of either the mandible or maxilla. The cementum primarily covers the root, with some portion overlapping the crown.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cementum is a specialized calcified substance covering the root of a tooth. The cementum is the part of the periodontium that attaches the teeth to the alveolar bone by anchoring the periodontal ligament. The cementum is the surface layer of the tooth root, covering the dentin (which is labeled B).

Detailed explanation-4: -Cementum. Hard connective tissue covering the tooth root, giving attachment to the periodontal ligament.

Detailed explanation-5: -The tooth root cementum is a thin, mineralized tissue covering the root dentin that is present primarily as acellular cementum on the cervical root and cellular cementum covering the apical root.
