To locate the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ) in cases of cervical abrasion, visually inspect the tooth for the transition line between the enamel and cementum, which is typically found at the gingival margin. You can use a periodontal probe to gently explore the area, as the CEJ is often slightly rougher than the surrounding enamel. Additionally, applying a disclosing solution can help highlight the junction by staining the exposed cementum differently from the enamel. Accurate identification is crucial for proper diagnosis and treatment of cervical abrasions.

What is CEJ?
CEJ is shorthand for "Cemento-Enamel-Junction. This is the point on a tooth that delineates the crown from the root of the tooth.
Do dogs have an enamel?
The thickness of the enamel of dogs was measured in the teeth of the animal. The enamel was found to be thinner than that of human teeth, varying in thickness from 0.1mm-1mm. The "enamel bulge" coronal to the cemento-enamel junction does not consist of a thickened area of enamel.
What Section of the tooth where the anatomical crown meets the anatomical root is called?
The section of the tooth where the anatomical crown meets the anatomical root is called the cementoenamel junction (CEJ). This junction marks the transition between the enamel covering the crown and the cementum covering the root.
What is Clinical Attachment Level?
is a clinical term in dentistry. CAL = the depth measured from the CEJ (cemento-enamel junction) to the bottom of the gingival sulcus. It indicates the amount of attachment that has been lost
What is the difference between enamel lamellae and tufts and spindles?
Enamel lamellae extend from the Dentino-Enamel Junction to the outer surface. Tufts are projections from the Dentino-Enamel Junction for a short distance due to the changes of enamel rods arising from the scalloped junction.
What is another name for the cervical line of a tooth?
Another name for the cervical line of a tooth is the cementoenamel junction (CEJ). This is the area where the enamel of the crown meets the cementum of the root. It is an important landmark in dentistry for assessing periodontal health and tooth structure.
Why do adult teeth get shorter?
This could be because they have gingival hyperplasia, which is when the gum tissue grows too much in turn covering part of the tooth passed the cemento enamel junction. This can affect someones appearance and a dentist can give options such as gum surgery or porcelain veneers in order for you to get the smile you wish for.
What becomes the dentoenamel junction?
inner enamel epithelium
What is backward caries?
Whenever the spread of caries along the dej exceeds cone in enamel, the caries extends into the enamel from the junction
What is the area on the tooth where the cementum meets the enamel?
The area of the tooth where the cementum meets the enamel is called the cementoenamel junction or CEJ for short.
The cementoenamal is located where?
The Cementoenamel junction (CEJ) is located between the enamel and the cementum of your tooth.
What can cause eroded tooth enamel?
Acid drinks (sodas and fruit juices) Bacterial acid Mechanical abrasion
