cementum

Cementum holds the tooth to the bone of the jaw.

A thick layer of cementum can give the tooth a fat appearance.

As root and cementum formation begin, bone is created in the adjacent area.

The cementum is light yellow and slightly lighter in color than dentin.

Cementum also is permeable to a variety of materials.

Cementum can present a layered appearance, particularly in mammoth.

Considerable thickening of the cementum can often be observed.

Cementum is outside the dentin where there is no enamel.

Cementum is a specialized bone like substance covering the root of a tooth.

Of these, cementum is the only one that is a part of a tooth.

They also attach from the cementum and insert to the nearby alveolar bone.

A smooth cementum provides less opportunity for bacteria to accumulate and form calculus.

These were quite wear resistant and kept together by cementum and dentine.

On the outside of the tooth, there's enamel, with hard materials called dentin and cementum below that.

Dentin is the substance between enamel or cementum and the pulp chamber.

Concrescence is the fusion of two separate teeth only in their cementum.

The tooth is held in location by a periodontal ligament, with the assistance of cementum.

Beneath the gum-line, a substance called cementum covers the tooth roots.

Only in larger whales, where the cementum has been worn away on the tip of the tooth, does enamel show.

Specifically, the connection is made between the maxilla or mandible to the cementum of the tooth.

Cementum, which can be thick in extinct genera, covers the outside of the tusk.

Cementum formation is called cementogenesis and occurs late in the development of teeth.

Nonetheless, it is known that cellular cementum is usually not found in teeth with one root.

Under the enamel and cementum is the dentin.

It is one of the four major tissues which make up the tooth, along with dentin, cementum, and dental pulp.
