Exempel

  • From a purely anatomic standpoint, root cementum is part of the tooth, but also part of the periodontium.
  • Cementum is the least known calcified tissue in vertebrates (Bosshardt and Schroeder 1996) and several questions about cementogenesis have not yet been answered.
  • Whether epithelial cells from Hertwig's sheath contribute to initial cementum formation is controversial as has already been discussed in Chap. 1.
