•Type I Collagen fibers
•Protein

Inorganic(40%-45%)
•Calcium
•Phosphorous
•Traces of Magnesium
•Fluoride
•Water

13. Collagen Fibers
•The two sources of collagen fibers in
cementum are;
•Sharpey's (extrinsic) fibers, which are the
embedded portion of the principal fibers of
the periodontal ligament and are formed
by the fibroblasts, and
•fibers that belong to the cementum matrix
per se (intrinsic) and are produced by the
cementoblasts.

14. Physical Properties
•It is yellowish in color but lighter than
dentin.
•It is less harder than dentin.(70 KHN)
•Cementum is permeable, but decreases as
age advances

15. Types of Cementum
Acc to location;
a) Coronal Cementum.
b) Radicular Cementum.
Acc to Presence or absence of cells;
a) Acellular (primary) cementum.
b) Cellular (secondary) cementum.
Both consist of a calcified interfibrillar
matrix and collagen fibrils

16. Classification
•Acc to content of fibrils;
a) Fibrillar Cementum.
b) Afibrillar Cementum.
Acc to Schroederet .al;
•Acellular afibrillar cementum (AAC)
•Acellular extrinsic fiber cementum (AEFC)
•Cellular mixed stratified cementum (CMSC)
•Cellular intrinsic fiber cementum (CIFC)
•Intermediate cementum

17. Differences between
Acellular & Cellularcementum
Acellular (primary) cementum
•First formed cementum
•Formed before reaches occlusal
surface.
•Covers cervical third or half of the
tooth.
•No cells.
•More calcified.
•Sharpeys fibers make up most of
the structure.
I) Inserted perpendicular to tooth
surface.
II)size,No.,distribution increases
with function.
III) Completely calcified.
Cellular (secondary) cementum
Formed after acellular
cementum
Formed after tooth reaches
occlusal surface.
Covers apical third of root.
Contains cells (cementocyte).
Less calcified.
Sharpeys fibers occupy a
smaller portion.
I) Arranged parallel to root
surface.
II) May be completely or partially
be calcified.

18. Acellular & Cellular cementum.

19. Afibrillar type of cementum
•In addition, loss of the cervical part of the
reduced enamel epithelium at the time of tooth
eruption may place portions of mature enamel in
contact with the connective tissue, which then
will deposit over it an acellular afibrillar type of
cementum

20. Acellular afibrillar cementum (AAC)
•It contains neither cells nor extrinsic or
intrinsic collagen fibers, apart from a
mineralized ground substance.
•It is a product of cementoblasts
•It is found as coronal cementum in humans,
with a thickness of 1 to 15μ.

21. Acellular extrinsic fiber cementum
(AEFC)
•It is composed almost entirely of densely
packed bundles of Sharpey's fibers and lacks
cells.
•It is a product of fibroblasts and
cementoblasts
•It is found in the cervical third of roots.
•Its thickness is between 30 and 230microns.

22. (AEFC)

23. Cellular mixed stratified cementum
(CMSC)
•It is composed of extrinsic (Sharpey's) and
intrinsic fibers and may contain cells.
•It is a co-product of fibroblasts and
cementoblasts,
•It appears primarily in the apical third of the
roots and apices and in furcation areas.
•Its thickness ranges from 100 to 1000 nm.

24. Cellular intrinsic fiber cementum
(CIFC)
•It contains cells but no extrinsic collagen
fibers.
•It is formed by cementoblasts,
•It fills the resorption lacunae.

25. Permeability of Cementum
•In very young animals, cellular and acellular
cementum are very permeable and permit the
diffusion of dyes from the pulp and external root
surface.
•In cellular cementum, the canaliculi in some
areas are contiguous with the dentinal tubuli.
•The permeability of cementum diminishes with
age

26. Cementoenamel Junction

27. Cementoenamel Junction
•Three types of relationships involving the
cementum may exist at the cementoenarnel
junction.
•In about 60% to 65% of cases, cementum
overlaps the enamel.
•In about 30% an edge-to-edge butt joint
exists; and
•In 5% to 10% the cementum and enamel fail
to meet.
•In the last instance, gingival recession may
result in accentuated sensitivity because the
dentin is exposed.

28. Cementoenamel Junction

29. Thickness of Cementum
•The thickness of cementum on the coronal half
of the root varies from 16 to 60micron, or about
the thickness of a hair.
•It attains its greatest thickness (up to 150 to
200μ) in the apical third and in the furcation
areas.
•It is thicker in distal surfaces than in mesial
surfaces, probably because of functional
stimulation from mesial drift over time.

30. Thickness of Cementum
•Between the ages of 11 and 70, the average
thickness of the cementum increases threefold,
with the greatest increase in the apical region.
•Average thicknesses of 95μat age 20 and 215μ
at age 60 have been reported.

31. Thickness of Cementum
• •Thickest at the apex
•Thin at the cervical
part.

32. Functions of Cementum.
•Primary function is to furnish a medium for
attachment of collagen fibers that bind to alveolar
bone.
•Continuous deposition helps to keep the
attachment apparatus intact.
•Root fracture or resorption can be repaired by new
cementum deposition
•Make functional adaptation of tooth possible. (i,e-
deposition of cementum apically can compensate
for loss of tooth substance from occlusal wear&help
maintain vertical dimension.)

with Cementum.
Enamel Projections;
If amelogenesis does not stop before the start
of root formation,enamel may continue to form
overportions normally covered by cementum.
Enamel Pearls;
This consists of globules of enamel on the root
surface in cervical region.(act as plaque retentive
areas)

42. Hypercementosis
•The term hypercementosis (cementum
hyperplasia) refers to a prominent
thickening of the cementum.
•It may be localized to one tooth or affect
the entire dentition.
•Hypercementosis occurs as a generalized
thickening of the cementum, with nodular
enlargement of the apical third of the root.

43. Hypercementosis
The etiology of hypercementosis
•The spikelike type of hypercementosis generally
results from excessive tension from orthodontic
appliances or occlusal forces.
•The generalized type occurs in a variety of
circumstances. In teeth without antagonists,
hypercementosis is interpreted as an effort to
keep pace with excessive tooth eruption.

47. Cementoma
Cementoma
These are masses of cementum generally
situated apical to the teeth, to which they may
or may not be attached.
They are regarded as either odontogenic
neoplasms or developmental malformations.

48. Cementum Resorption and
Repair
•Permanent teeth do not undergo physiologic
resorption as do primary teeth.
However, the cementum of erupted as well
as unerupted teeth is subject to resorptive
changes that may be of microscopic proportion
or sufficiently extensive to present a
radiographically detectable alteration in the root
contour.

49. Cementum Resorption and
Repair
•Cementum resorption may be caused by
local or systemic causes or may occur without
apparent etiology (i.e., idiopathic).
•Among the local conditions in which it occurs
are
trauma from occlusion.
orthodontic movement
pressure from malaligned erupting teeth,

50. Cementum Resorption
•cysts, and tumors;‘
•teeth without functional antagonists;
•embedded teeth; replanted and transplanted
teeth;
•periapical disease; and periodontal disease.

51. Cementum Resorption
•Among the systemic conditions mentioned as
predisposing to or inducing cemental resorption
are
•calcium deficiency,
•hypothyroidism,
•hereditary fibrous osteodystrophy, and
•Paget's disease.

52. Cementum Resorption and
Repair
•Cementum resorption appears microscopically as
baylike concavities in the root surface (Fig. 2-16).
•Multi-nucleated giant cells and large mononuclear
macrophages are generally found adjacent to
cementum undergoing active resorption (Fig. 2-17).
•Several sites of resorption may coalesce to form a
large area of destruction.
•The resorptive process may extend into the
underlying dentin and even into the pulp, but it is
usually painless

53. Cementum Resorption and
Repair
•Cementum resorption is not necessarily
continuous and may alternate with periods of
repair and the deposition of new cementum.
•The newly formed cementum is demarcated
from the root by a deeply staining irregular line,
termed a reversal line, which delineates the
border of the previous resorption

54. Cementum Resorption and
Repair
•Embedded fibers of the periodontal ligament
reestablish a functional relationship in the new
cementum.
•Cementum repair requires the presence of viable
connective tissue.
•If epithelium proliferates into an area of
resorption, repair will not take place. Cementum
repair can occur in devitalized as well as in vital
teeth.

55. Cementum Resorption and
Repair

56. Cementum Resorption and
Repair
•Anatomical repair.
•Functional repair.

57. Ankylosis
•Fusion of the cementum and alveolar bone with
obliteration of the periodontal ligament is termed
ankylosis.
•Ankylosis occurs in teeth with cemental
resorption, which suggests that it may represent
a form of abnormal repair.
•Ankylosis also may develop after chronic
periapical inflammation, tooth replantation, and
occlusal trauma and around embedded teeth.

58. Exposure of Cementum to the
Oral Environment
•CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE
•Cementum becomes exposed to the oral
environment in cases of gingival recession and
as a consequence of loss of attachment in pocket
formation.
•The cementum is sufficiently permeable to be
penetrated in these cases by organic substances,
inorganic ions, and bacteria.
•Bacterial invasion of the cementum occurs
commonly in periodontal disease .
•Caries of the cementum also can develop
