Incremental Lines Of Salter

In acellular C

In cellular C

They are hypermineralized area with less collagen fibers and more ground substance

Cemento Enamel Junction

10% cementum and enamel doesnt meet because of 30% cementum meets the enamel delayed separation of epith root sheath of Hertwig (area in a sharp line of dentin not covered by C).

60% cementum overlaps E (afibrillar cementum)

Cemento Enamel Junction

 Cementum is formed during root formation

Epith. Diaph.

Cementoblast is a protein forming and secreting cell.

Maturation occur layer by layer for the collagen fibers
