What are the Differences between cellular and acellular cementum?
The main difference between cellular and a cellular cementum is that cellular cementum contains cementocytes, while a cellular cementum does not contain any active cells and can not regenerate.
Which of these tissues make up the periodontium?
The periodontium is made up of four main tissues: gingiva (gum tissue), alveolar bone (bone that surrounds and supports the teeth), cementum (outer layer of the tooth root), and periodontal ligament (connective tissue that attaches the tooth to the bone).
What is softer then enamel but harder than cementum?
Dentin is a tissue that is softer than enamel but harder than cementum. It makes up the majority of a tooth's structure and provides support and protection to the inner pulp tissue.
What is cementocytes?
Cementocytes are cells found in the cementum of teeth. They are similar to osteocytes in bone and help maintain the mineralized tissue of the tooth root by regulating the turnover of cementum. They play a role in maintaining the integrity and health of the tooth-supporting structures.

Enamel, Dentin, Pulp, Cementum.
What is the function of cementum?
cementum Covers the root of the tooth. The primary function for the cementum is to anchor the tooth to the bony socket with the attachments of the priodontal ligaments.
The function of cementum on teeth?
Cementum holds the teeth in the jaw, just as cement would.

The main difference between cellular and a cellular cementum is that cellular cementum contains cementocytes, while a cellular cementum does not contain any active cells and can not regenerate.
What are the functions of cementum?
Acellular extrinsic fiber cementum is for anchorage Cellular intrinsic fiber cementum is for adaptation and repair Mixed fiber cementum is for adaptation..

What is the thin hard covering of the root of a tooth?

What is the softest tooth structure?
Cementum.
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.
What attaches the tooth to the periodontal membrane?
cementum
The CEJ point is where the?
cementum meets the enamel
