  2. Cementoenamel junction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cementoenamel_junction

    In about 60–65% of teeth, the cementum overlaps the enamel at the CEJ, while in about 30% of teeth, the cementum and enamel abut each other with no overlap. In only 5–10% of teeth, there is a space between the enamel and the cementum at which the underlying dentin is exposed. [3]

  3. Cementum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cementum

    Some experts also agree on a third type of cementum, afibrillar cementum, which sometimes extends onto the enamel of the tooth. The excessive buildup of cementum on the roots of a tooth is a pathological condition known as hypercementosis. Cementum thickness can increase on the root end to compensate for attritional wear of the occlusal/incisal ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaling_and_root_planing

    Scaling and root planing, also known as conventional periodontal therapy, non-surgical periodontal therapy or deep cleaning, is a procedure involving removal of dental plaque and calculus (scaling or debridement) and then smoothing, or planing, of the (exposed) surfaces of the roots, removing cementum or dentine that is impregnated with calculus, toxins, or microorganisms, [1] the agents that ...

  5. Tooth ankylosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_ankylosis

    Tooth ankylosis refers to a fusion between a tooth and underlying bony support tissues. In some species, this is a normal process that occurs during the formation or maintenance of the dentition. [1] By contrast, in humans tooth ankylosis is pathological, whereby a fusion between alveolar bone and the cementum of a tooth occurs.

  6. Tooth decay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_decay

    Proximal caries take an average of four years to pass through enamel in permanent teeth. Because the cementum enveloping the root surface is not nearly as durable as the enamel encasing the crown, root caries tend to progress much more rapidly than decay on other surfaces. The progression and loss of mineralization on the root surface is 2.5 ...

  7. Tooth resorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_resorption

    Dental crowns, tooth extraction, gum surgery Resorption of the root of the tooth , or root resorption , is the progressive loss of dentin and cementum by the action of odontoclasts . [ 4 ] Root resorption is a normal physiological process that occurs in the exfoliation of the primary dentition .
