Cementum - PowerPoint PPT Presentation


Understanding Cementum in Dental Anatomy

Cementum is a vital component of the tooth root, forming a protective layer. It is a calcified tissue with specific constituents and chemical composition. Cementogenesis involves a complex process of differentiation and mineralization, regulated by key molecular factors. Cells like cementoblasts and

Structure and Functions of the Alveolar Process in Jaw Anatomy

The alveolar process in the upper and lower jaw is responsible for housing the roots of teeth, supporting tooth eruption, providing attachment for facial muscles, and aiding in mastication. During fetal development, the alveolar process forms and separates tooth germs, leading to the differentiation

Understanding the Periodontal Ligament in Dental Sciences

The periodontal ligament (PDL) is a vital connective tissue that supports teeth by attaching them to the jaw bone. It consists of various tissues including cementum and alveolar bone, and is rich in vascular and cellular components. The development of PDL fibers plays a crucial role in tooth support

Understanding Root Surface Modifications in Periodontal Therapy

Periodontal therapeutic modalities focus on root surface modifications due to periodontitis, which involves physical, chemical, and cytotoxic changes. Successful outcomes depend on factors like clot stability, cell migration, attachment, proliferation, and debridement. Analyzing cementum properties

Mammalian Tooth Structure: Vertical Section Overview

Mammalian teeth consist of hard tissues (enamel, dentine, cementum) and soft tissue (tooth pulp). The enamel is the hardest, dentine surrounds the pulp cavity, and cementum covers the dentine and connects to the alveolar bone. Tooth pulp provides support, nourishment, and defense mechanisms. Support

Histological Structure of Digestive System in Domestic Animals

The histology of the digestive system in domestic animals, specifically focusing on the teeth and their structures, including short (brachydont) and long (hypsodont) types. Details include the composition of enamel, dentine, cementum, and dental pulp, highlighting the differences in tooth morphology

Understanding Dentin: Structure, Properties, and Functions

Dentin is a vital component of teeth, featuring various structural units such as dentinal tubules. This calcified tissue determines tooth shape, hardness, and radiolucency. It plays a significant role in supporting enamel, cementum, and pulp, with dentinal tubules housing odontoblast processes. Dent
