GOOD MORNING
CEMENTUM
DEFINITION
Cementum is the calcified a vascular mesenchymal tissue that forms the outer layer cover of the anatomic root
Types of cementum The two main types of cementum are 1.A celluar and 2.cellular cementum The two main source’s of collagen fibers in
cementum are sharpey’s fibers which are the embedded portion of principal fibers of the
Periodontal ligament and are formed by the fibroblasts
Fibers that belong to cementum matrix and are produced by cementoblasts
Cementoblasts also form the non collagenous components of the inter fibrillar ground substance such as proteoglycans, glycoproteins and phosphoproteins
Proteoglycans are the most likely to play a role in regulating cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions
COMPOSTION The major proportion of the organic
matrix of a cementum is composed of type one (90%) and type III about (5%) collagens
ACELLULAR CEMENTUM It is the first cementum formed, covers
approximately the cervical third or half of the root and does not contain cell’s
This cementum is formed before the tooth reaches
the occlusal plane and it’s thickness ranges froms
30 to 230 um Sharpey’s fibers are completely calcified,
with the mineral crystals. Oriented parallel to the fibrils as dentin and bone except in a 10 -50 um wide zone near the cementodentinal junction where they are only partially calcified
Acellular cementum also contains intrinsic collagen fibrils that are calcified and irregularly arranged or parallel to the surface
CELLULAR CEMENTUM Celluar cementum formed after the tooth
reaches the occlusal plane is more irregular and contain cell’s (cementocytes) in individual spaces (lacunae)
that communicate with each other through a system of anastomising canaliculi
Cellular cementum is less calcified than the acellular type
Sharpey’s fibers occupy a smaller portion of cellular cementum and are separated by other fibers that are arranged either parallel to the root surface
Both acellular and cellular cementum are aranged in lamellae separated by incremental lines parallel to long axis root this lines are called restperiods
PERMEABILITY OF CEMENTUM In very young animal’s acellular
cementum and cellular cementum are very permeable and permit the diffusion of dyes from the pulp and external root suface
THICKNESS OF CEMENTUM Cementum deposition is a continuous
process that proceeds at varying rates
Cementum formation is most rapid in the apical regions where it compensates for tooth eruption, which it self compensate for attrition
The thickness of cementum on the coronal half of the root varies from 16-60um
It attains greatest thickness (upto 150-200 um) in the apical third and in the fraction areas
Abnormalities in the thickness of cementum may range from an absence of cellular cementum to an excessive deposition of cementum
The term hyper cementosis refers to a prominent thickening of cementum
Hyper cementosis occurs a generalisied thickening of the cementum
CEMENTUM RESORPTION AND REPAIR Cementum resorption may be caused
by local and systemic factors
Local condition causing cementum resorption include trauma from occlusion orthodontic movement pressure from malaligned erupting teeth cysts and tumors teeth with out junctional antagoinsts
Systemic condition citied as predisposing to or including cemental resorption include calcium deficiency hypothyroidism, hereditary fibrous osteodystrophy
EXPOSUR OF CEMENTUM TO ORAL ENVIRONMENT
Cementum becomes exposed to the oral environment in cases of gingival recession and as result of loss of attachment in pocket formation
CEMENTO ENAMEL JUNCTION The cementum at and immediately subjacent
to cemento enamel junction is of particular clinical importance in root scaling procedures
Three types of relationships involving the cementum may exists at cementoenamel junction
in about 60 -65% of cases, cementum over laps the enamel in about 30% an edge-edge but joint exists and 5-10% the cementum and enamel fail to meet
CEMENTO DENTINAL JUNCTION The terminal apical area of cementum
where it joins the internal root canal dentin is known as cemento dental junction
