CEMENTOGENESIS
CONTENTS
• Introduction
• Functions of cementum
• Composition of cementum.
• Classification of cementum.
• Cemental junctions
• Cementogenesis
1. Attach periodontal
ligament fibers to the
root surface.
2. It serves as a protective
layer over the dentin.
4. Cementum is thought to
contribute to repair in
fracture of root.
PHYSICAL CHARACTERSTICS
By Weight - Inorganic : 45 % - 50 %
1. Time of formation
Primary & Secondary.
2. Location
Coronal & Radicular
3. Cellularity
Acellular & Cellular.
6. Schroeder’s classification
- Acellular Afibrillar.
- Acellular Extrinsic Fibers.
- Cellular Intrinsic Fibers.
- Cellular Mixed Stratified.
- Intermediate Cementum.
CELLS OF CEMENTUM
• Cementoblasts
• Cementocytes
• Periodontal fibroblasts
• Cementoclasts
Schroeder’s classification
• Acellular afibrillar cementum
- Contains neither cells nor extrinsic or intrinsic collagen
fibers, except for mineralized ground substance. Cervical
enamel surface.
• Acellular extrinsic fiber cementum
- Composed almost entirely of densely packed bundles of
Sharpey’s fibers. Cervical margin to 2/3 rd of root.
(30-230um)
• Cellular mixed stratified cementum
- Composed of extrinsic & intrinsic fibers & may contain
cells. Co-product of cementoblasts & fibroblasts. Apical
third of roots, apices & furcation areas. (100-1000um)
• Cellular intrinsic fiber cementum
- Contains cells but no extrinsic collagen fibers.
Formed by cementoblasts. It fills resorption
lacunae.
• Intermediate cementum
- Poorly defined zone near the cementodentinal
junction. Contains cellular remnants of Hertwig’s
sheath embedded in calcified ground substance.
Cementum can be differentiated into: acellular & cellular
cementum.

CEMENTODENTINAL JUNCTION
DEPOSITION
• Cementum formation in the developing tooth is preceded
by the deposition of Dentin along the inner aspect of
Hertwig’s Epithelial Root Sheath.
