18
Q

…. is a deformity in shape/direction of root

A

dilaceration

19
Q

cementum comes in … main types. these types are defined by the presence/absence of cells within its…. and the origin of ….

A
  • 2
  • matrix
  • collagen fibers of the matrix
20
Q

2 major types of cementum

A

acellular cementum

cellular cementum

21
Q

acellular cementum is also called… or…

A
  • Acellular extrinsic fiber cementum (AEFC)

- primary cementum

22
Q

cellular cementum is also called…. or …

A
  • cellular intrinsic fiber cementum

- secondary cemntum

23
Q

the primary acellular cementum covers …. of the root

A

2/3

24
Q

the secondary cellular cementum covers the…. of the root

A

apical 1/3

25
Q

2 minor types of cementum

A
  1. acellular afibrillar cementum (AAC)

2. Cellular mixed stratified cementum (CMSC)

26
Q

AAC is present right by the…

A

CEJ

27
Q

…. is a mix of alternating acellular and cellular layers or cementum in the root

A

CMSC

28
Q

4 functions of the cementum

A
  1. attachment- acellular mainly
  2. Protects- root resorption/ repairs resorption pits
  3. Adjusts tooth position (cellular only)
  4. Seals dentin tubules
29
Q

cementum composition

A
  • 50% inorganic/HA
  • 35% organic (90% type 1)
  • 15% water
30
Q

3 characteristics of cementum physiology which are different from bone

A
  1. avascular
  2. non-innervated
  3. no turnover- growth by apposition
31
Q

classic hypothesis for origin of cementum

A

ectomesenchyme
dental follicle cells
cementoblast

32
Q

functions of cementoblasts

A

make acellular and cellular cementum

33
Q

fate of cementoblasts

A

remain in PDL close to cementum surface, regulate slow cementum growth through life, direct cementum repair

34
Q

origin of cementoblasts

A

from dental follicle (ectomesenchyme)

35
Q

Products of cementoblasts

A
  1. collagen
  2. ECM proteins
  3. enzymes that promote cementum mineralization
36
Q

… are a subset of cementoblasts that become embedded in the cellular cementum matrix (so origin is follicle/ectomesenchyme)

A

cementocytes

37
Q

Extrinsic fibers are continuity of extrinsic fibers and initial intrinsic fibers and they will become mineralized …. within cementum

A

Sharpey’s fibers

38
Q

…. produce primary collagen fiber bundles of PDL space and are stitched to first cementum intrinsic fibers

A

PDL fibroblasts

A

acellular cementum

40
Q

Extrinsic fibers (sharpeys fibers) enter acellular cementum at ..
