Cementum is a specialized calcified tissue that forms the outer covering of tooth roots. It is produced by cementoblasts, which are cells derived from the dental follicle during tooth development. The primary function of cementum is to anchor the periodontal ligament fibers, helping to secure the tooth within the alveolar bone. Additionally, cementum plays a role in tooth repair and adaptation to occlusal forces.
