Question
Answer
show Calcified tissue located on the root surface; .05mm (half a millimeter) thick  
🗑
show 60% (enamel forms 1st, can't overlap cementum)  
🗑
show 30% ((enamel forms 1st, can't overlap cementum)  
🗑
show 10% ((enamel forms 1st, can't overlap cementum)  
🗑
Statement: Can have all 3 relationships of cementum-dentin on the same tooth   show
🗑
show Collagen fibers, ground substance and cementocytes (cementum cells)  
🗑
show calcified fibrous matrix made of hydroxyapatite crystals  
🗑
Cementum is a product of the   show
🗑
show Acellular, cellular  
🗑
show doesnt contain cementocytes; forms slower than cellular cementum  
🗑
What cementum forms faster: cellular or acellular?   show
🗑
When forming cementum cementoblasts start where... and move where   show
🗑
Cementoblasts adhere to the DCJ and move outward toward the PDL As they move outward they leave behind a cemental matrix in layers called...   show
🗑
show cervical 1/3 of the root; it is also found on the outer surface of cellular cementum in the very most apical portion of the root  
🗑
Characterize cellular cementum   show
🗑
show When cementoblasts surround themselves with the matrix that calcifies, the cells are then called cementocytes  
🗑
Space where cementocyte sits in is called   show
🗑
show cytoplasmic processes  
🗑
Cytoplasmic processes   show
🗑
show canaliculi  
🗑
Canaliculi   show
🗑
show in the apical 2/3 of the tooth  
🗑
show Lamella  
🗑
show Cementum is thicker in areas of cellular cementum  
🗑
Statement: Cellular cementum can sometimes be found on the surface of acellular cementum.   show
🗑
show layer of cementum that has not completely calcified  
🗑
show eventually it is located on the outer surface of root in PDL next to cementum  
🗑
In what field of dentistry is cementum important   show
🗑
show Due to hypocalcified (low calcified) nature it is not readily absorbed. Cementum is avascular which may account for it’s resistance to resorption – making orthodontic tooth movement possible  
🗑
One of the main responsibilities of cementum is   show
🗑
How long is cementum layed down   show
🗑
show True  
🗑
show to a certain extent by the cementoblasts in the PDL (buidling more cementum)  
🗑
If severe pressure applied to tooth from a blow or too rapid orthodontic tooth movement, repair may not be possible and root resorption may occur by odontoclasts   show
🗑
show cemental hyperplasia; production of excessive cementum; etiology unlnown; extraction would be difficult  
🗑
Negative effect of hypercementosis   show
🗑
Cementicles   show
🗑
show Cementicles  
🗑
show root caries  
🗑
Cemental/ root caries often seen in   show
🗑
show If recession has occurred and root surface exposed to oral fluids and the accompanying bacteria, cemental caries can occur Root surfaces that have been exposed due to recession are also likely to experience abrasion and/or dentinal hypersensitivity  
🗑
show abrasion and/or dentinal hypersensitivity  
🗑
What cells resorb cementum?   show
🗑
show avascularity (lack of blood vessels)  
🗑
