  2. Cementoblast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cementoblast

    A cementoblast is a biological cell that forms from the follicular cells around the root of a tooth, and whose biological function is cementogenesis, which is the formation of cementum (hard tissue that covers the tooth root).

  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 ...

  4. Odontoblast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odontoblast

    Histologically, it is easily distinguishable by its disordered tube structure, the location of the secretion (it protrudes into the pulpal cavity) and its slightly lower degree of mineralization than normal. The tooth is often able to be saved by a simple restoration. In contrast, reparative dentin is secreted when the tooth has a poor prognosis.

  5. Cementogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cementogenesis

    In animal tooth development, cementogenesis is the formation of cementum, one of the three mineralized substances of a tooth.Cementum covers the roots of teeth and serves to anchor gingival and periodontal fibers of the periodontal ligament by the fibers to the alveolar bone (some types of cementum may also form on the surface of the enamel of the crown at the cementoenamel junction (CEJ)).

  6. Human tooth development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_tooth_development

    As a tooth is forming, a force can move the tooth from its original position, leaving the rest of the tooth to form at an abnormal angle. Cysts or tumors adjacent to a tooth bud are forces known to cause dilaceration, as are primary (baby) teeth pushed upward by trauma into the gingiva where it moves the tooth bud of the permanent tooth.

  7. Dental anatomy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_anatomy

    Diagram of tooth anatomy. Dental anatomy is a field of anatomy dedicated to the study of human tooth structures. The development, appearance, and classification of teeth fall within its purview. (The function of teeth as they contact one another falls elsewhere, under dental occlusion.)

  9. Epithelial root sheath - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epithelial_root_sheath

    The Hertwig epithelial root sheath (HERS) or epithelial root sheath is a proliferation of epithelial cells located at the cervical loop of the enamel organ in a developing tooth. Hertwig epithelial root sheath initiates the formation of dentin in the root of a tooth by causing the differentiation of odontoblasts from the dental papilla.
