Classification of Cementum Cementum is a vital tissue in tooth anatomy, responsible for anchoring the teeth to the alveolar bone via the periodontal ligament. Understanding the classification of cementum helps determine its function and role in periodontal health. Different types of cementum serve u...
CEJ : ABOUT AND TYPES The cementoenamel junction (CEJ) is a significant anatomical feature in the structure of a tooth, playing a critical role in dental health. Located where the enamel covering the crown of the tooth meets the cementum covering the root, this junction serves as a boundary between ...
Cementum : introduction, components, function, hypercementosis What is cementum? Cementum is a hard, calcified tissue that covers the roots of the teeth. Its primary function is to anchor the tooth to the alveolar bone through the periodontal ligament. This tissue is more resistant to resorption tha...
FUNCTIONS OF PDL The periodontal ligament (PDL) is a vital component of the periodontium, responsible for maintaining the health and stability of your teeth. This thin layer of connective tissue, located between the tooth’s cementum and the alveolar bone, performs numerous essential functions. Under...
BLOOD AND NERVE SUPPLY, FUNCTIONS OF PDL The periodontal ligament (PDL) is a key component of the periodontium, providing essential functions that ensure the stability and health of the teeth.
